Can you write a Kenning?

We’ve been working on Kennings with the Year 5s over the last couple of weeks and here is a fabulous example from Ellie B…

 

Bamboo basher

Ginormous gnasher

Background camouflager

Fairly larger

Lazy sleeper

Silent creeper

Idle ponderer

Monochrome wanderer

 

Can you work out which animal the kenning is about?  Why not post a kenning of your own so that we can all try to guess its title?
