vander pol

a disgusting little creature in fables and children's tales, made to make children laugh at its disfigured body and face. Also known to be extremely stupid, and is the lowest creature on the list of scary monsters. The largest disfigurement is in the eyes; causing them to slant and squint. Does not reach above 5 1/2 feet in height.

...And the vander pol stood as tall as it could, a gutteral roar coming from its throat. A mere squeak came out, and its squinted eyes started to cross. The hunters all laughed at its stupidity.
