Physically, this unknown creature was absent in the books of the Children's Writer. Mentioned in the 5th chapter of the works of "Winnie Pooh and all-all-all", then in the second collection. Due to the popularity of the character in English, the word "miscurrent". As well as the phraseological "trap and hunt for ocalopotama", in meaning of identifying with useless actions or the search for a difficult (non-existent).
In a fairy tale about forest residents, the beast is present solely in dreams and the imagination of the two main characters - Piglet and Winnie Pooh. In one row with it, it is also possible to put the Stupshvirnus, Foreign V. and Buku and the Bolya.

The first mention of the hero is contained in the 5th chapter of the collection "Winnie Pooh and all-all-all". Christopher Robin, as if by the way, informed the friends that I saw elephant. Piglet, too, thoughtfully stated that it seemed to have met this dangerous beast.Then the poet comes to mind the idea to catch an unknown animal. To do this, he comes up with a cunning venture - to divert the pit. And for the bait, even sacrifice the pot with honey, leading the argument that the delicacy will definitely attract the "monster" trap.
Bear and Piglet feel as if their brilliant plan had already embarrassed fruit. But the successful outcome of the enterprise is hampered by one - Hungry Winnie Pooh. He wakes up at night and remembers that he gave the latest food for the Great Mission.
Unable to endure, the hero decides not to wait for the 6-year-old in the morning and check whether the mysterious beast fell into a trap. Next, the story is conducted on behalf of the Patch, which, contrary to his own fears, wandered to six pines.
