Squonk is a creature that lives in the hemlock. It is very ugly and thus, lonely. It cries all the time because it has no friends. Oddly enough it's pelt is worth money. Since they are shy and reclusive, the only way to trap one is to follow its teardops on the hemlock in the moonlight as one man did. When he cornered the Squonk he lied and said he would be his friend. Only after much coaxing, the Squonk came close to the man who only snatched him up and put him in a bag to take home and skin. On the way home the Squonk cried and cried and the man sang of his fortune. He noticed the cries growing fainter and when he opened the bag to show his wife and children there was nothing but bubbles and tears.(He had cried himself out of existence.) This info is from memory and comes from a Genesis song by the same name.
