The lurkerThese dungeon scavengers are very adept at blending into the
surrounding walls and ceilings of the dungeon due to the
stone-like coloring of their skin.

'Behold, I am not Gandalf the Grey, whom you betrayed.  I am

He raised his hand, and spoke slowly in a clear cold voice.
'Saruman, your staff is broken.'  There was a crack, and the
staff split asunder in Saruman's hand, and the head of it
fell down at Gandalf's feet.  'Go!' said Gandalf.  With a cry
Saruman fell back and crawled away.

ability to blend into the dungeon surroundings.  It captures
its prey by remaining very still and blending into the
surrounding dungeon features, until an unsuspecting creature
passes by.  It wraps itself around its prey and digests it.

Dudley
Eaten by a newt(kinds of) small animal, like a lizard, which spends most of
its time in the water.
        [ Oxford's Student's Dictionary of Current English ]

"Fillet of a fenny snake,
In the cauldron boil and bake;
Eye of newt and toe of frog,
Wool of bat and tongue of dog,
Adder's fork and blind-worm's sting,
Lizard's leg and howlet's wing,
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble."

A nice take on the death[Pestilence:] And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals,
and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four
beasts saying, Come and see. And I saw, and behold a white
horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given
unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.

[War:] And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the
second beast say, Come and see. And there went out another
horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon
to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one
another: and there was given unto him a great sword.

[Famine:] And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the
third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black
horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his
hand. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say,
A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley
for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.

[Death:] And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the
voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see. And I looked, and
behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death,
and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over
the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with
hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.

I would feel bad if I rated this anything other then Excellent. But because I don't think it is excellent (merely good), I won't rate at all.

It is a good joke though, original and all that. I just don't feel that it is worth excellent.

You know, the funniest thing (now that I think about it) is that this strip would make no sense to someone who hadn't been reading Dudley for a long time.

But then, I guess a lot of them are like that.

Antheridium: no, it would make sense. The pun is pretty obvious. Just that veteran readers like us enjoy it more because of the running newt(kinds of) small animal, like a lizard, which spends most of
its time in the water.
