If a boy is grumpy and sullen and is unwilling to be nice, Tree wolves come and get him and they eat him for their teas. They live in spindly trees and can smell grumpy boys from miles way, a bit like sharks can smell one drop of blood in a ton of water.

| This is what Grumpy Boys say Tree Wolves look like! |
Often when little boys get grumpy and lost in the woods it is because 'Tree Wolves have got 'I'm according to old people.
There are many documented cases of boys getting taken by Tree Wolves. In 1975 three grumpy boys were taken in Otago alone, and several were taken after they had stormed out of their houses in a huff and gone off in the woods. They only found the t-shirt of one boy.
There are no known pictures of a Tree Wolves, but reports from frightened grumpy boys describe slobbery jaws and smelly breath.
Boys are especially likely to get eaten by Tree Wolves if their names are Tykemeister, or Owen.
