On the other hand, I definitely remember talking to Steve about these
critters at a con in Mississippi, and he described the Tsalmoth as "a
large land oyster" who would spend months or years climbing a tree,
then climbing out on a limb, then waiting to drop on a large prey
animal moving beneath it.  If it missed, it had to start up the tree
again.....

of the Dark Lord more clearly shown than in the estrangement that 
divides all those who still oppose him." -- J.R.R. Tolkien
