According to A Dictionary of Monsters and Mysterious Beasts by Carey Miller, "the saddest beast we have heard about so far is the squonk. As it lives only in the hemlock forests of Pennsylvania very few people know about him. His grief seems mainly to be caused by the ugliness of his skin, which is said to be ill-fitting and covered with warts and moles.
The only way to trap a squonk is by following its tear-stained trail. This is particularly successful on very frosty nights when the tears freeze and sparkle in the moonlight and the squonk can't move around too quickly. In fact you can actually hear it weeping under the hemlock trees.
One man thought he had captured the squonk after he lured it into a sack by mimicking its cry. On his way back home he felt his burden get gradually lighter and the sobbing ceased. When he opened the sack all he could find were tears and bubbles."
