It feeds on substances in the soil rather than those of the human gut. It has no chitinous coat. It is dependent upon a circulatory system with not merely a single heart but five pairs of these organs through which circulates blood containing both corpuscles and hemoglobin.

In every detail of appearance or manner, from his deliberately complacent way of talking to his habit of shoving both hands deeply into his pockets, he might be taken for a "typical" Harvard man. He was even indifferent about Harvard itself until the tentacles of the Tercentenary entwined him, and even now refuses to display any enthusiasm for the University...
