Time to re-visit that book then. Thank you. I have to figure there is a Chronicles of Narnia bestiary where one can look up such things.

Look for the Duffers, Dufflerpods, or the Monopods.

Trivia
- A Dufflepud's single foot is so large it can be used as an umbrella when he is on his back, or can be used as a canoe if the Dufflepud goes on water.

That means he gets his back waterlogged.
The position of the men with their head-in-hole position reminds me somewhat of the Dufflepuds -- a most miserable position.
