The Rumtifusel is one of the more vicious fearsome critters of American folklore. The Rumtifusel has one food source only: greedy humans.
With a pelt that resembles a mink and a flattened body, the Rumtifusel is said to resemble a long fur coat. By slumping itself over a slump or near the trunk of a tree, it tricks passerbys into believing it is exactly that. Unsuspecting people who dare to pick up and try on what they believe to be a discarded or dropped high quality fur coat are almost immediately engulfed and devoured by the Rumtifusel. Instead of one mouth, the Rumtifusel is equipped with thousands of sucking pores, which it uses to suck the bones clean of its victims.
The Rumtifusel uses this method of camoflauge to capture its prey as it is a slow and clumsy predator. When this large and formidable beast has finished his meal, all that remains are small tufts of fuzz, likely the small remnants of its victims clothing.
