GUG"It was a paw, fully two feet and a half across, and equipped with formidable talons. After it came another paw, and after that a great black-furred arm to which both of the paws were attached by short forearms. Then two pink eyes shone, and the head of the awakened gug sentry, large as a barrel, wabbled into view. The eyes jutted two inches from each side, shaded by bony protuberances overgrown with coarse hairs. But the head was chiefly terrible because of the mouth. That mouth had great yellow fangs and ran from the top to the bottom of the head, opening vertically instead of horizontally."

Yours or Peterson's are definitive in my book. Spot on! All that is needed is a ghoul near to show size. Not that the gug would tolerate such a creature near them. They fear them because of the ghoul miasma that could lock their jaws closed. A great danger to a hungry gug.
