(humor) Monster Madness!!!

Okay, folks, it's late and I'm bored (and probably incoherent), so here's the game.

Take any creature from either the MM, MM2, or Fiend Folio. By adding, removing, or swapping as few letters as possible from the monster's name, create something new (and probably goofy). You must then give a brief definition of the new critter, which must make sense based on the new name. The base creature must still be recognizable; if your tweaks change the name so much that the casual D&D reader can't easily guess what you based it off of, it's no good.

A few examples:

Dopplerganger: A creature that looks different depending on what speed you're traveling when approaching it.

Glue dragon: A sticky lizard.

Pit friend: Someone who stands by you when you're in deep. :D

Okay, your turn.

A Revelant: a hideous monster that vengefully tracks down online-forum posters and slays those that steer a discussion off-topic, or hijack a thread.
(I know it's not in the 'core' monster books, but it's my favorite monster, and the first that came to mind.)

The Kurrusque: A legendary half-orc iconic that sleeps for extanded periods of time, but wakes from time to time, wreaking haikus and dim-witted buffonery on the populace.

P.s> I really like the Dopplerganger.
 

All Lip -- Skinny undead with enormous facial labia, voracious attacker as it can never go no satisfaction.

Droll -- Monster frequenting message boards, whose witty posts are sought after by all.

Misplacer Beast -- Frequently encountered wandering monster; wanders because it can't ever find anything it needs and just laid down.
 

Stoned Giant- A giant that lumbers around muttering weirdly and never seems to walk straight.
Gibbering Mother- A strange, vaguely humanoid creature that is beyond comprehension. Always female.
Anticore- A savage beast that seems to be opposed to anything and everything... even itself.
 

Grey Vender - An enormous, towering monstrosity that tries to sell you stuff. Typical climate/terrain is the local market square.

Salaad - A malicious race of vegetable dishes, natives of the plane of Limbo.

Moper - A subterranean monster that camouflages itself, and waits until people get close enough for it to become dejected.

Face Spider - This arachnid lurks in the astral plane, and ambushes people by quickly materializing. Then, it makes silly faces at them, and flees by becoming astral again.

(I love the dopplerganger!)
 

Bald Dragon - Not a very powerful creature, has amusing hairline, allegedly more virilous than the average dragon

Kobalt - strange lizard made entirely of an odd metal

Titanic Legendary DUCK - not really following the rules of the thread, but highly amusing

AaronKarter - winged creature, pretty (unlike its cousin), sings badly, similar to a humanoid parrot

More later...

The offshoot of the Revelant, the Relevant. Like the Revelant, The creature vengefully tracks down online-forum posters and slays those that steer a discussion off-topic. Unlike the Revelant, the Relevant actually succeeds in catching the right poster.
