Manooba

A giant bug that lives in snowy fields. They form nests in snow, where they wait for prey to fall into their trap. Fields of snow can greatly alter one's perception of distance, allowing one's feet to grow clumsier with each step. The manooba use this optical illusion to their advantage by digging holes on the ground that serve as traps. Once an ignorant wanderer sets foot in them, the manoobaa takes him or her as its prey. This happens most often when there is bad weather, as people may confuse the nests of these vicious beasts for declining hills.
