A window on a bright yellow wall in a well-lit room. Outside the window, it is night: a deep blue. Also outside the window, peering through it, one large paw against the glass, is the huge, shapeless figure of the Groke. You will find the ground beneath this window frozen solid tomorrow, as though the dead of winter visited this one specific spot. Nothing will grow there until spring.

A hillside, gleaming in the moonlight, possibly covered with snow. In the sky sits a blazing full moon. The whole scene is blue. Cast sharply in the moonlight, moving up the side of the hill, is a shapeless lump of a figure: a troll-like creature with large paws, a heavy brow, a long nose, and white, staring eyes. It appears to be transfixed by the full moon. This, for anyone who is familiar with Tove Jansson's Moominland series, is the Groke: out and about on a night when no one but the Groke would be stirring.

The Groke stands on a frozen surface at night, looking up at the moon
