Grick

In the Dungeons and Dragons fantasy role-playing game, the Grick is an aberration. It resembles a large (roughly 8 feet long and 2 feet wide and tall), green and white colored slug/snake-like creature of which one end bears a vulture-like beak ringed by four barbed tentacles.

The Grick apparently prefers to lurk in the shadows in urbanized, high population areas, and attacks when hungry or frightened. When prey (virtually anything that moves) comes near, it lashes out with its tentacles. Due to the weakness of its jaws compared to the rest of its body, it prefers to drag the ensnared food back to its lair to be consumed at the Grick's own leisure rather than tearing it apart and eating it whole right then and there.
