Death by squealing — Description

A Squealer From How to train your dragon books by Cressida Cowell

These slimy dragons only move if it's life or death situation. Due to the Squealers' squealing, Vikings use them as a living alarm system. Squealers are strange slug-like creatures who are so lazy they have developed an interesting method of stunning their prey by screaming. Squealers have no legs, so lie on their backs and gently wave their extremely long nails in the air. The moment anything touches their up-right nails, the Squealers let out a piercing shriek that can stun its victim, or even kill smaller animals. The Squealers then rapidly devour the dead or stunned creature, stripping it to the bone in 60 seconds.
Their wings are only vestigial and cannot fly.
