This is a monster you fight in the Sorceress's Tower. Defeat it with sonar-in-a-biscuit.
By jiminy, this is one big, imposing cricket. It's also holding a bowling ball, which makes it all the more dangerous. Beating him might be a sticky wicket. Maybe you can scare him off somehow...
It spits an adventurer-size gob of grasshopper juice at you. Gah!
You use the sonar-in-a-biscuit.
You break open the sonar-in-a-biscuit. As sonar squeaks echo off the walls, the grasshopper looks nervously around for the giant bat that's about to eat it. It leaps out the window and flies away. Looks like this grasshopper has much to learn.
