References

  • Grues first appeared in the Dying Earth series of books by Jack Vance, and were later incorporated into the Zork series of games.
  • The last two lines of this familiar's haiku are lyrics from the refrain of the song Touch-A, Touch-A, Touch Me from the The Rocky Horror Picture Show: "Touch-a touch-a touch-a touch me / I wanna be dirty / Thrill me, chill me, fulfill me / Creature of the night."
