* AllThereInTheManual: Its actual name is the Deathspinner, and it's just one of an entire marine-dwelling species. One of the Tenna Birdsong Tales even goes into this particular one's origins. Its egg washed up onto the shores of Tora, where it was found by a young and foolish little girl named Enna, soon to hatch into what she called a "sweet sea worm". Unwilling to give it up when her disgusted mother told her to kill it, Enna ran away and accidentally fell into the cavern that would become the Maze...and the Glus has been there ever since.
