Snarks are creatures of folklore Seven Kingdoms . The snarks are supposed to live beyond the wall and are with grumkins , monsters used in the nursery tales to frighten children.[1] Derision by the apparent futility of the wall and the missions of the Night's Watch , the snarks are often referenced to an improbable danger that is hiding in the haunted forest.[2] they are known to be illusive and some may have beards.[2]

Adults no longer believe in snarks, and consider them imaginary beings[3], comparable to legendary animals and supernatural entities[4] or the monsters which children's nurses warn them against[1]. As a result, several attempts to seek aid against the danger of the Others are met with mockery which ridicules the messenger as also fearing "snarks and grumkins[5][2]", which the speaker implies are similarly non-existent.
