Anyone else probably shouldn’t bother; you probably won’t get it anyway!

I do believe Tony knows more about these gruesome creatures than any of us Zorkity Zorker adventurers.

Yeah, I thought about adding Tony to the list but I actually don’t know as much about his proclivities in that regard.
Anyway, I used to do the original “Zork” on computer BBSes back in the day, and in the mid-90s Leah and I both played the Mac version of “Return to Zork,” which had as one bad outcome that you would be eaten by a Grue.
(For those who might be curious, a “Grue” is a creature whom no one has seen, native to the Great Underground Empire of Zork - one of the earliest computer adventure games, a so-called “text game” that we used to play back before anyone had even thought of computer graphics. Grues only come out when it is totally pitch-black, and they eat you. A lot).
