Culverin, AKA Tripodero or Snipe
Origin: Manly Wade Wellman's "The Desrick on Yandro (fiction)"
Description
Just ahead of Mr. Yandro, the Culverin hoved itself half into sight on its many legs. It pointed its needle-shaped mouth and spit a pebble. I heard the pebble ring on Mr. Yandro's head, and he staggered against a tree....
The Culverin is a strange, many-legged beast of the mountains which spits pebbles from a long, needle-shaped mouth, to stun its pray when it attacks.
