  • The Gribbler (Ambulolepis scutops, meaning Walking-fin shield-face) is a fish native to skull island's waterways, their colouring and appearance match the weed choked water.
  • The Gribbler lives deep in Riverwood, in a dank, spooky house that appears to be a cozy hobbit hole from the outside. She disguises herself as a poor old woman and wanders along the paths, pretending to have hurt her ankle to lure the unwary. If a kind soul stops and agrees to help her home, they soon find out the Gribbler is actually a monster who captures people and eats them for dinner. Much later in the story, Gordon Halloway reveals that the Vanguard had attempted to recruit the Gribbler, although she would not co-operate with them.

  • The Gribbler lives deep in Riverwood, in a dank, spooky house that appears to be a cozy hobbit hole from the outside. She disguises herself as a poor old woman and wanders along the paths, pretending to have hurt her ankle to lure the unwary. If a kind soul stops and agrees to help her home, they soon find out the Gribbler is actually a monster who captures people and eats them for dinner. Her preferred prey is one of the gentle Banda who live in Riverwood, but she's delighted to run into April, and lures her back to her house. Left alone, April soon discovers the old lady she stopped to help owns various unsavoury implements, skulls, bones, and a large cooking pot (as well as a large broom - clearly, she's a houseproud monster), and is actually planning to eat both her and Bandu-Uta, a Banda April finds shut in the Gribbler's cupboard. When the Gribbler returns and finds Bandu-Uta gone, she is furious and reveals her true form, a terrifying creature with enormous teeth. April defeats the Gribbler by knocking her onto her own fire, earning the respect and admiration of the Banda, who have lived in terror of the Gribbler for a long time. Much later in the story, Gordon Halloway reveals that the Vanguard had attempted to recruit the Gribbler, although she would not co-operate with them.
