“Even during its juvenile stage Gargling Gollox are more than capable of taking a mare as a meal, though depending on the size of the specimen it may encounter difficulty attempting to snarf down a struggling stallion. The chubby creature achieves this gluttonous feat by being fundamentally a mobile stomach with legs, which is able to confidently consume anything small enough to fit in its mouth. Because of this, the possible gape of a Gollox’s cavernous maw is the only real limiting factor in determining whether the lethargic ambush predator deemed something suitable for swallowing.”
- Excerpt taken from chapter seven of Bug’s Bestiary volume 3: Aggressive Amphibians and other Beastly Batrachomorpha.

This was something Ivy Vine learned the hard way, when the curious equine encountered one of these ferocious frogs in the supposed safety of her backyard. The unicorn initially amused by the ungainly amphibian wallowing in a puddle at the end of her vegetable garden, as in her uninitiated eyes the outlandish thing didn’t look the least bit threatening. The bemused mare oblivious to her grave mistake, as she calmly approached the bathing beast, not quite sure what to make of the pudgy pink frog lurking by her cucumbers. The Golloxlet letting out a grumbling croak as the equine grew closer, as it acknowledged the pony’s presence, though it made no attempt to flee from the inquisitive equine.

It just stared at Ivy with its piercing emerald eyes, as unbeknownst to the mare the opportunistic ambush predator was patiently waiting for the pony to bumble within snarfing distance. The unicorn inching ever closer, before with a powerful lunge her interest in the tubby tetrapod evaporated with a startled squeal. The mare going wide-eyed in horror as the Golloxlet leapt forward, gummy gob agape, to seize the gawking villager who had been foolish enough to interrupt its mid-morning monging. Ivy’s back legs instinctively bucking, as she reflexively attempted to bolt away from her sudden assailant, but unfortunately for her, the hungry frog was faster.

A dank wetness enveloping the unprepared equine’s head with a moist slap, before with a stomach-lurching tug she was rudely yanked to the ground by the surprisingly strong croaker. The mare caught completely off-guard by the predatory polliwog, as in the space of a second, she was now sprawled out in a disorientated heap before the tubby toad. Ivy instantly fumbling into a thrashing fidget, though this did little to shirk the firm jaws clamped around her shoulders with a punishing pressure. The Golloxlet not giving the mare a chance to find her bearings, as it rapidly began to wolf down its mewling meal with a few forceful blinks. The creature pushing the panicking pony ever deeper into the clammy caress of its clammy confines, with an assertive series of bounding gulps.

The frog just taking her, as by the time Ivy began to struggle, she was already up to her waist, and well on her way to being securely slotted into the slimy monster’s snug stomach. The mare desperately worming as she slipped into a worried writhing that did little to detour the relentless progress of her devourer. The curvy contours of her round rump jiggling in the concerned commotion, but try as she might she could not pull herself free from her terminal trip down the thigh tube of the throat. The pony caught in the inescapable pull of the peristaltic plunge, leaving her to let out all manner of stifled screams as she began to ooze into the frictionless expanse of the oesophagus. The greedy frog completely unbothered by the scared sounds, as it just continued to ingest the uncooperative morsel trapped betwixt its dull teeth.

The mare’s wide hips barely an obstacle, and with a gliding glug, they slid into place just like the rest of her flailing figure. The deceptively large consumptive capacity of the Golloxlet soon becoming apparent, as in only a few minutes Ivy was reduced just a twitching tail, hanging limply between the amphibian’s rubbery lips and a sizable swell squirming in its stomach. The protesting pony unable to prevent herself from curling up within the kneading grasp of the Gollox’s gut, as the eaten equine was relegated to just a sizable supplement to the voracious creature’s normal diet of worms and insects. The full frog letting out a drawn-out ribbit, as if celebrating the fact, it had successfully stowed the succulent snack it had managed to seize.

The Golloxlet just mulling the meek motions of its massive meal, as the equine encased within its stomach sleeve was gradually squeezed into a more economical position by the constant churning of the caustic cavity. Every stern squish robbing Ivy of a little more of her already non-existent personal space, as she was goaded into a tucked-up fetal position within the constantly shifting terrain of the sour space. She knew she had to get out, she was not food, but a few lungfuls of the acrid air trapped in the tart tummy with her were more than enough to sap her strength. There just wasn’t enough oxygen in the stale atmosphere of the gut to fuel a fight, and after a few jerking kicks the mare was little more than a trembling ball of quivering meat spasming against the stomach walls with an uncoordinated collection of clumsy convulsions. If the Gollox had been a bit larger she might have lasted a little longer, but soon enough the smothering veil of suffocation snuffed out Ivy’s incessant floundering. The unicorn giving one last reluctant rattle before slacking off with a sad shudder, as now the only thing she had in her future was being a prismatic pellet that the Golloxlet would regurgitate once she was done digesting….

Just because you're a bit larger than a Golloxlet, doesn't mean it is not capable of swallowing you whole. This was a lesson Ivy Vine learned the hard way when she had a consumptive run-in with a juvenile Gollox...
