Glumbo the Rock Eater

Designed by Campbell Glass (age 12)

"This long-legged creature wanders through the mountains, looking for rocks & clay, which it eats. People often get surpised by the sight of one popping out from behind a rock. Its orange colored legs blend in with clay & rock, so it sometimes appears to be a floating blue head, with large yellow eyes."
