[[File:|thumb|600px|]] The dhole is a gargantuan slimy worm-like entity of more than a hundred metres of length and covered in slime. Its maw is so large that it can swallow almost everything that comes across its path. It has not eyes and no visible anatomy except for its colossal mouth with row after row of teeth. Dholes avoid light, though it does not harm them. Similar creatures called bholes live in the dreamlands.
