Scrunklebugs

== Overview ==
Scrunklebugs are one of the creatures of Jovial Playground, but they can also be seen in Dream World. They're more common in Jovial Playground since the outside has more to offer than in Dream World.
== Appearance ==
Scrunklebugs are pink-colored animals about the size of an average cat. They have violet-colored veins and horns. They also have pouches containing acid on their sides. They have eight legs (3 pairs) and a coral-colored dorsal crest on top of their body. Their eyes are pure white and have messy black outlining.
== Behavior and Other Traits ==
Scrunklebugs love jumping and bouncing around in water. In water, they can stay afloat by spreading out their legs. That's why they enjoy living in wet wooded areas near water, it also keeps most predators away.
They live in packs that consist of 10-30 Scrunklebugs. They make shelters out of branches to keep themselves safe from any additional threats.
They can attack, but they only do so whenever they feel threatened. They attack by spraying acid from their horns, the acid is stored in the pouches on their sides as earlier mentioned in the overview. The worst the acid can do is give you burns that may last for multiple months, however, it's more lethal to smaller creatures.
If you're close to a Scrunklebug and their horns start wiggling, it's best to back away or run from it. It's a sign they're ready to attack.
You can tell they're close by listening to their footsteps, which resemble a splat sound. 
Scrunklebugs work quite like real-world elephants, in which Scrungles will take care of Bites, whether or not it's their Bite.
