The Dungavehooter

The Original Gas Huffer!

This is another of the beasts from old North American Lumberjack tales. The Dungavehooter, lived in the north of Maine and the upper peninsula of Michigan. While a mammal, he was shaped oddly like an alligator or gila monster but with no mouth at all and a pair of giant nostrils, from which the only noise produced was an all powerful “snort”. He prowled low to the ground with short stumpy legs and a powerful stubby tale. It preys on the drunk rum-filled lumberjacks by hiding behind a bush. When the victim stumbled by, the Dungavenhooter leapt out and knocked its prey to the ground with its tail. The Dungavenhooter then repeatedly jumped up and down on its victim until gases were produced which it inhales in through its large nostrils.

I didn’t take this description word for word, but it’s close so here’s a link to where I find most of our beasts.

This one’s animated, you’ve gotta click the image to see the full sized animation. Great job on the lumberman fumes! And in the first frame of this thing i swear he could be at least a middle school mascot.

Judge’s Commentary

This one’s a no-brainer: So freakin’ good. I actually imported it into Photoshop to enjoy each layer on its own. Now I just wish I could huff that musky lumber gas.

Man who’d of thunk a Dungavehooter would be so acrobatic! That lil’ guy is about to get snuffled without even getting knocked down. And do little people loggers log big logger trees or do they have their own tiny forests?

Judge’s Commentary

I dig this Dungavehooter’s hangtime. I’m also wondering if this could somehow be made into a video game (stay on the logs or be snuffed, lumberjack man!)

Lots of revisions this week. First I had him dressed as the Red Baron, then he had catfish whiskers and a top hat and I finally settled on this barbershop quartet/Clockwork orange combo crossed with a lil’ kangaroo! Huff away Merril!

Judge’s Commentary

Ha! I sorta bet we’ll get a lot of somewhat similar entries this week. It’s like the perfect combination of my old alligator raft and Luke’s landspeeder… though it’s possible those aren’t jets and are in fact action lines… Dungavehooter Smash!!!

So would his sniffs translate to “please” in Dungavehoovian? Or is he just playing the martyr? Regardless he’s cute as hell and I sort of want one, and dammit now I have song from Jabba’s palace in my head!

The thing what jumps outta bush Now that Dungavehooter is adorable! I’m a fan of the show a little to show a lot! And I like that it could be a lumberjack standing there, but it could also be santa, or superman…

Oooh two giant straws in two weeks! This one’s a few messy ink splots away from being a Ralph Steadman. Lotta good in here from the hovering in mid snort woodsman, to the sun glasses and mouth stitching! Good fun!

If I only had an award for most giantest nostrils! Is that lumberjack wearing overall shorts? and I know its the lines differentiating his belly markings but I sorta want to put feet at the bottom just so he’d be a giant walking nose!

Dammit now i need a giant eye award too! holy hell did this one get me… maybe it’s the wonky pug eyes, maybe its the telltale krinkled hands of a jacksniffer… but i think really its the sadness! Sweet, sweet, remarkable sadness!

Umm can anyone say “absolutely perfect layout for the Dungavehooter movie poster!” I want moonbounce shoes sooo bad. Three points for the tiny arms and another 2 for the Dungavehooter shadow upon his “Aaah”-ing victim!
