Garburater Monstrum
Garburator Monstrum, a.k.a “Arb,” is currently a friendly yet reclusive denizen of the under sink world. Beginning his life millennia ago as a creature of dark, unrelenting hunger, he found his niche in the world when John W. Hammes, an architect, invented the garbage disposal in 1927. Ever happy to help, he quickly moves in to any house where the garbage disposal is in almost constant use, disables the under sink unit, and takes up residence inside the disposal. From then on, whenever the garbage disposal is activated, he eagerly gets into position, tentacles facing up, and awaits the food scraps coming down. His tentacles act as blades to shred the food into easy to digest bits, which he promptly swallows down. His favorite foods consist of oranges, lemons, and other citrus, which the humans of the household drop in to “freshen” the disposal. Keep him well fed, and he will never fail you.
