gorp

And now, following custom, he was inviting the friends and sometimes allies of the dead Paft to a gorp hunt.

On one the largest, the captive gorp, still curled in a round carapace protected ball, was bound with the net.

Instead the gorp drew in upon itself until it resembled an unwieldy ball of indestructible armor and there it remained.

If the gorp was affected by this attack he could not tell, for both attacker and victim could no longer be seen.

Freed from the net, suspended by its sealed claws, the gorp swung back and forth from a standard set up before the high seat.
