The Maze Runner Chapter 19

Chapter 19

The Griever looks like a hot mess. It is part animal, part machine, and covered in slime and sparse patches of hair. It's impossible to tell if it even has a head, but it's about six feet long and four feet thick.
Every few seconds, sharp metal spikes pop through its flesh and the Griever curls into a ball and spins like a top. Whoever created these things was trippin' on something, that's for sure.
The Griever also has randomly placed mechanical limbs that all serve a different purpose: flashlight, needles, even a claw like the one from the arcade game. If only it was just reaching for a cheap stuffed animal.
Even weirder, in addition to the metallic whirring sounds it makes it also groans like a person dying a horrible death.
The Griever seems confused at first as to how to get to Thomas and Alby who are still dangling from the vines off the wall.
But then the Griever turns off its lights, and starts to climb the wall.
