Lore

The Squonk is a poignant lumberjack tall tale from Pennsylvania, a grotesque, wart-covered creature so ashamed of its ugliness that it weeps incessantly. When captured or frightened, it dissolves completely into a puddle of tears— a whimsical, melancholic critter symbolizing self-loathing and the absurdity of the woodsman's imagination.
