Maroonan Giggler

== Overview ==
In Maroona's caves lies The Mahakgoh, or better known as the "Giggler", is a dreadful and sinister creature, luring in its prey with its childish laughter-like chirping.
== Features ==
=== Appearance ===
The Giggler is a 7-9 foot, bipedal lurker with a unique set of bones. Atop its head, running down its neck, are horn-like appendages, that, when shaken rapidly, produce a high pitched chirping sound due to the air flowing through the holes in the bone.
This sound can mean different things to different creatures, for example, the call of a recently hatched Snathwyn, yelling for help, or the whimpering of a wounded Hound, or... More recently... A child's laughter.
When they have successfully fooled their food, they use their long, scythe-like hands, which are also used for lightly excavating cave systems, and climbing, to slice them up, so that it may eat. Their metabolism is very good, so they are not too active, never leaving a cave once they have found a good spot, but if you're ever out in the crags, and you hear the distant chuckling of a Giggler, it's best to just stay put where you are.
=== Life ===
Gigglers are usually born from pods, strung up with saliva, they look almost identical to stalactites. They take extremely long to grow, and are only released after they are an adult, which takes about a year to happen. Every year, people in towns ar advised to refrain from hunting until the month is over, and the Gigglers have had their fill, as entering the forest would sound like a comedy club hosted by Thalia herself.
=== Diet ===
They will eat whatever they trick, coating it in their saliva by vomiting on it, allowing it to be preserved for a very long time, as the Giggler nibbles at it from time to time.
=== Reproduction ===
The mating season is one of the only times where a male leaves it's cave, wandering and listening for the distinctive chirp of a female.
== Trivia ==
* The chirping noise they make is similar to King Ghidora's sounds, from the showa era of the Godzilla films.
* They have little to no armor, and mainly rely on the element of surprise in order to kill.
* If you're thinking "What idiot would mistake that for a child?", imagine you're a hunter that's been out for months. You don't exactly feel all there, so some things may be shifty, and you've never heard the sound before. Seems a bit more believable now, doesn't it?
