Who’s stealing our socks?

Laura, Ben and Brendan urgently need your help!

Some creature hidden in the subterranean depths of 100 Story Building keeps stealing their socks. 

It doesn’t matter if the socks are on them, in their shoes, or hiding in their bags. Everytime, they stop by the Building, they leave without their socks. 

Here’s what we know about this sock-stealing creature. 

It has orange coloured fur. We found some scattered on our flying carpet.

It likes the colour red. We know this because red socks disappear the quickest.

And it likes SOCKS! 

Can you figure out what this creature looks like based on these clues? 

Is it big or small?

Does it have teeth?

How many feet do you think it has to keep stealing socks? Or is it using the socks for some other reason?

What kind of hands would it have to siphon off socks from feet without anyone knowing?
