This question came up on the NetHack newsgroup a while ago (it's one of the things you see in the game when you're hallucinating) and the consensus was that it had one eye and one horn, could fly, and ate purple people. Not being a purple person I don't have any first-hand experience with it ;-) Irina Varsinen an laynynay, saraz no arlet rastynay. irina@rempt.xs4all.nl (myself) - http://valdyas.conlang.org (Valdyas) http://www.xs4all.nl/~bsarempt/irina/index.html (home)
