[Solution] The Gnome in the Home – 21 December 2020

This entire puzzle is a reference to Dr. Seuss. The main mechanism is a reference to There’s a Wocket in my Pocket, and a few of the creatures mentioned are actually taken directly from that book.

For each creature listed, it is simply necessary to find a rhyming household object or location where it could be. For example, the first creature, BiThone, rhymes with iPhone. A list of all locations is as follows:

iPhone

Chimney

Armchair

Napkins

Lamp

Iron

Clock

Kitchen

Toaster

Hall

Icebox

Rug

Toothbrush

Yo-yo

Table

Office

Dishwasher

Attic

Yard

Reading the first letter of each answer and taking the paragraph breaks as spaces between words gives the clue phrase I CAN LICK THIRTY TODAY. This recalls another Dr. Seuss book, and gives the final answer TIGERS.
