The connect is Grue , created by Dave Lebling
(in pic 1)of the co-founders of Infocom as a part of Zork. Pic 2 fits in coz one of the songs in the ‘nerdcore’ album by Damian Hess is about being eaten by a grue : “It is Pitch Dark”
Wikiquote : > what is a grue?
The grue is a sinister, lurking presence in the dark places of the earth. Its favorite diet is adventurers, but its insatiable appetite is tempered by its fear of light. No grue has ever been seen by the light of day, and few have survived its fearsome jaws to tell the tale.
