Purple Beetle-Eater

My monster is black and red, tall and fat.
It eats a lot of beetles and bugs.
It likes worms the best because they are juicy and slimy.
It has purple eyes, green hair, it does not have legs, it slimes around.
It leaves a green and gooey substance behind it.
It lives in the garden on a gravestone.
It smells like a rubbish bin and it never brushes its teeth or has a bath.
In the day it sleeps, eats and works in a restaurant.
It has arms like an octopus
