// a treasure chest that is secretly a monster: the same banded wooden box, but its lid is a jaw lined
// with fangs, a fat purple tongue lolls out over the lip, two eyes peer from under the lid's rim and
// it stands on four stubby clawed legs. At rest it breathes with the lid ajar and the tongue sways;
// on chomp it snaps its lid open and shut, tongue flailing, hopping on the spot.
