Thread Game: Change/Add/Subtract a Letter, Ruin a D&D Creature

Like the title says. Change one letter, add one letter, or subtract one letter to ruin a D&D monster!

Some examples:

Orcus => Porcus
Demogorgon => Depogorgon
Asmodeus => Asmopeus​

Post yours in the comments!

I would like to see ENWorld Publishing produce a Ruined Monster Manual filled with the best of this thread.

Purple Worm => Purple Warm (a giant, fuzzy, huggy creature)

Black Pudding => Black Pudging (do NOT call it FAT!)

Black Pudding => Black Budding (a very hungry, corrosive flowering plant...)

Black Pudding = Black Padding - just lie back awhile

Black Pudding = Block Pudding - Mama was a gelatinous cube... Speaking of which

Gelatinous Cube = Gelatinous Pube - because the high road isn't for everyone.

By the way, how much better would the game be if every instance of the word "fire" was replaced with "fife"?

Demilich -> Semilich (a lich whose transformation failed halfway through)
Astral Deva -> Astral Devo (An angelic bard whose performances mingles kitsch science fiction themes, deadpan surrealist humor and mordantly satirical social commentary)
Rust Monster -> Crust Monster (A monster that eats those unwanted crusts from pizzas and bread loaves).
Hippogriff -> Hippogrift (An eagle/horse hybrid creature that swindles people)
Warforged -> Waxforged (An automoton created to populate wax museums)
Nagas ->... Anyone whose seen the South Park episode "With Apologies to Jesse Jackson" can see where this is going.
