The ancient ruins were guarded by pillar-biters that gnawed at every stone foundation.

Everyone at the meeting whispered that the mayor was a pillar-biter, condemning sinners from the pulpit while hiding his own misdeeds.

The wart-biter was exhibited in the local museum with a placard explaining that the bush-cricket Decticus verrucivorus had once been used to bite off warts.

The old farmhand called the mangy sheep-biter back before it could alarm the flock.

I left the window open, and a night-biter kept me awake all night.

The campers swatted at the night-biters that feasted on their ankles after dusk.

The town posted signs warning visitors that day-biters frequent the park at noon, so parents kept a close eye on their children.

The old village whispered stories about wart-biters who lived by the marsh.
