In the middle of summer, I think of November

The way Moominmamma talked about the Groke here (in Moominpappa at Sea) is really fascinating to me, she's not usually this mean about anyone, and she almost seemed avoidant to talk about her any more than needed.

Oh yeah, and happy birthday to the Lighthouse Keeper!

The Groke is a fairly easy creature to manipulate, I think. Like, she's pretty intimidating and could kill you intentionally or not but she doesn't seem like the sharpest tool in the shed, she's just a moth in a big black ghost costume. She see light she get light.

You could probably use a laser pointer on her and she'll follow it.

Play fetch with glow sticks.

Use her as a cooler if you satisfy her need for warmth with a furnace or something.

Dangle a lantern on a stick and watch her try to catch it in the air.
