It is a inhabitant of swamps and can be found in Europe, North and South America. In a motionless state, it resembles a piece of rotten wood, but a closer look reveals paws with floating membranes and very sharp teeth. It creeps inaudibly through swampy wetlands and feeds mainly on small mammals, but it can also badly injure the ankles of passers-by. However, his favorite delicacy is a mandrake bed.
