An unusually intelligent carrion caterpillar, fond of smoking. It can speak and, though generally no more helpful than any other creature of Voivodja, it is secretly bound to give out one useful piece of information per day (inevitably mixed in with lies and inane observations) and is thus occasionally recommended as an oracle. Though rather languid and apathetic, it will attack if it or its possessions are threatened. It lives on a mushroom with magical properties— anyone eating a piece from the eastern half will shrink and anyone eating from the western half will grow. (See Growing & Shrinking, p.24). Sometimes the Grub is the size of an insect, sometimes the size of a cat, sometimes he is human sized, and sometimes he is ogre-sized. The mushroom grows and shrinks with him. It never changes size while anyone is watching. Stats for all four sizes are given, assuming the foe is human- sized. Instinct: Lie and give information at the same time
