From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
   grue n.   [from archaic English verb for `shudder', as with
   fear] The grue was originated in the game {Zork} (Dave Lebling took
   the name from Jack Vance's "Dying Earth" fantasies) and used in
   several other {Infocom} games as a hint that you should perhaps look
   for a lamp, torch or some type of light source.   Wandering into a
   dark area would cause the game to prompt you, "It is very dark.   If
   you continue you are likely to be eaten by a grue."   If you failed
   to locate a light source within the next couple of moves this would
   indeed be the case.
  
      The grue, according to scholars of the Great Underground Empire, is
   a sinister, lurking presence in the dark places of the earth.   Its
   favorite diet is either adventurers or enchanters, but its
   insatiable appetite is tempered by its extreme fear of light. No
   grues have ever been seen by the light of day, and only a few have
   been observed in their underground lairs. Of those who have seen
   grues, few have survived their fearsome jaws to tell the tale. Grues
   have sharp claws and fangs, and an uncontrollable tendency to slaver
   and gurgle. They are certainly the most evil-tempered of all
   creatures; to say they are touchy is a dangerous understatement.
   "Sour as a grue" is a common expression, even among themselves.
  
      All this folklore is widely known among hackers.
