Caterpuppy

House 2: The Second Story is the most eighties of eighties movies, a comedy adventure set in a time machine-house that throws zombie cowboys, aztec warriors, crystal skulls, dinosaurs and Cliff from Cheers into its runtime. You definitely would not get a film like it today.

This creature, a sort of caterpillar dog-thing, features in the film and replaced Muffy the Daggit as the fantasy pet I'd most like to own.
