Appearance[]
It's unknown if it had an ox-sized porcupine-like body or a mess of green hair-like projections hanging from its body that were actually stinger-tipped tentacles which could erect into quills. Its name derives from its shaggy appearance. It also had poisonous stingers that it could shoot from its body, a snake's head, neck, tail, green in color and large tortoise-like feet.
