The DM had us up against a "Pennangalan". The first time we encountered the creature and it detached itself from the body, the DM did such a great job of describing the process that we all stared blankly at him for a couple second with looks of shock, horror and disgust.Not quite as bad, but during my last 4E campaign, the party while exploring a sewer system reached a section where the water and offal poured down into a sink hole, that continued off into a cave network. Piles of trash were compounded at the lip of the sinkhole. The thief tied off a rope and began to slide down into the hole when the pile of trash began to move. As the pile coalesced into an animated humanoid form, it also grabbed hold of the rope and yanked it up throwing the thief who had been holding on to it, into the wall across the room. The creature then proceeded to pummel the party with all sorts of nasty surprises. By the end of the fight everyone was down (4 out of 5 characters) except the druid who barely managed to drop it before it dropped him.After the fight they were dying to know what that was, thinking it to be some sort of shambling mound, but as it turns out is was a "trash hulk". A creature comprised of trash and other nasty stuff. I pulled it out of one of the new Dragon Magazines and thought it would make a pretty good encounter for their location.</blockquote>
