Grue

[DaisyNonna]

Geoffrey Jenkins wrote a book called a Grue of Ice. What does it mean?

[craft1948]

Grue means monster...............

[NOX]

In that context it means something horrible Daisy, but it can also pertane to fazil ice'.

I quote Wilki:

A grue is a fictional predator that dwells in the dark. The word was first used in modern times as a fictional predator in Jack Vance's Dying Earth universe (described as being part "ocular bat", part "unusual hoon" and part man).
