The monster ''tries'' to snatch up Carmine, but she proves a little too heavy and it loses its grip instead, resulting in both going down in a tangle of limbs.
** The monster's grabbing limb is just a bit too short, so it constantly just misses Carmine whenever she passes below it.
* '''Zig Zagged''': ???The first time the monster appears, it successfully pulls this on Carmine. Through the rest of the story, sometimes it works, sometimes the intended victim escapes, and sometimes the monster attacks from below if that's easier.



* '''Enforced''': ???

* '''Enforced''': ???"I loved this scene when it appeared in ''Ceiling Monster 2'', so [[FollowTheLeader let's do a variant of that gag]]."
