The fusion of a human with a grasshopper or katydid. This insectoid will never stop eating so long as a steady supply of food (any chewable organic matter) is available. Like the Jeremiad, a mechanism in its body produces a repetitive "song" accompanied by a telepathic signal. In this case, the song forces other creatures to "dance" awkwardly towards its hungry source.

When angered, a Katydread its current meal in a vile-smelling froth.
