Grindylows were usually coastal creatures—scavenger pods that lived in rocky shorelines and fought over beached dolphins and dead whales. They were the size of a beefy housecat, and most of their anatomy was made up of an enormous mouth filled with barbed teeth made for gnawing flesh and bone. Fortunately, grindylows were all cowards. Even though they fucked like rabbits, their advantage in numbers was negated by the fact that they were scared of anything bigger than a wagon wheel, making them pests at worst. It only got to be a problem when they snuck upstream and started snatching pets, or, in rare cases, foals. The real pain in the ass was their nocturnal nature. Finding them during the day was impossible.
