Quarrelby:
Quarrelbies come from the Land of Legricious, also home to vicious s. To stave off attacks from the Krugs, these cute little creatures have learned the art of thanatosis, aka tonic immobility, aka playing dead. Whenever a quarrelby hears a krug nearby, they go into a state that looks a lot like a dog playing dead, only quarrelbies always keep their eyes open.
I mimic death so I can live,
To see another day.
Curling my legs and lolling my tongue,
Sure keeps the krugs away!
And then, when gone…
I move slow-ly on.
For I have brains,
Where I lack brawn!
