[edit] Grolm
They are animals used by the Seanchan in Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time books.
Weighing in at three hundred to five hundred pounds, grolm are the size of large bears, only with the gray green coloration and skin texture of very tough frogs. Like the torm, they have three eyes. Their diet consists of their own dead.
When walking, grolm appear almost awkward, moving with a waddling motion. All traces of awkwardness vanish when they run.
Grolm are used in battle, though normally only against lightly armoured opponents to break holes in an enemy line which will then be quickly exploited by human soldiers. They are very useful against cavalry, as horses often panic in their presence unless specifically trained to tolerate the grolm.
They are extremely difficult to kill, given that nonfatal wounds seldom incapacitate them, and they heal rapidly. They also have very good vision, a keen sense of smell, and are extremely territorial.

Grolm can only be killed by being struck in one of its eyes which are quite small.
