History
The Screamapillar is easily identified by its constant screaming -- it even screams in its sleep. The Screamapillar is the favorite food of everything, is sexually attracted to fire, and needs constant reassurance or it will die. After learning all of this, Homer remarks, "You sure God doesn't want it to die?" One way to reassure the Screamapillar is to burp it like a baby. Marge discovers that when the Screamapillar is burped, it spews copious amounts of vomit. The Simpsons are forced to take care of the Screamapillar by the Environmental Protection Agency. The EPA Man tells them that because the Screamapillar has chosen to live in their yard, they are responsible for its well-being. He gives them a booklet which explains how to care for the Screamapillar.
Homer nearly kills the Screamapillar (accidentally), and he is sentenced to 200 hours of community service. When Homer is later sentenced to death for another crime, the Screamapillar smiles and laughs when Homer is in the electric chair.
