• About this Critter: A gigantic plump, round bear-like creature in appearance, (but much larger than a bear) used to explain sudden forest fires. Gumberoo are scarcely met along the pacific coast, in the foggy forests from Washington to California, where they make dens underneath the hollowed-out trunks of burned-out old cedar trees. Coos Bay Woodsmen insist that the smell of burnt rubber in the air was a sure sign that the Gumberoo was nearby, often describing it as a gigantic, round, almost entirely hairless bear with coal-burnt, tough leathery skin, but with prominent eyebrows and long, bristly hairs on its chin. The creature has an insatiable appetite: A whole horse may be eaten at one sitting, but fortunately is not swift in its movements or annoyed in the slightest degree by the presence of enemies. -The creature's shiny, smooth rubbery pelt was said to be impenetrable and able to bounce back anything thrown or shot at it, be it a bullet or an axe, it will be flung back at the aggressor with fatal force. - indeed It would be the king of the woods if not for one glaring weakness, Fire: The animal burns very easily, like celluloid, but with explosive results!!! Because of this, it was believed that perhaps the prevalence of forest fires explained the scarcity of the creature. - In the dead of night, lumberjacks were said to be awoken by loud explosions caused by Gumberoos spontaneously combusting, due to ashes left over from campfires. -

Photographers beware as its said that taking a photo of the beast will cause the negatives to explode as well!! ...Wait... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
