The illustration depicts a boy standing on an incredibly precarious ledge, trying to lasso one of its teeth. There are also similar creatures nearby, meaning either that there's more than one of these things, or they're ''all one gigantic entity.''

Added DiffLines:

** The yelling monkey-like creature isn’t too scary in the book itself. However, in the [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zmTeKf-Yf4E Beginner Book Video of the story]], the part with the creature in question is accompanied by discordant music cues that can be ''very '' unsettling.
