He is therefore the only creature in the books (other than the Wyrm King and the humanoid insects from The Nixie's Song) whose species is not mentioned in Arthur Spiderwick's Field Guide.

Noseeum Jack - An old giant hunter (named after Jack the Giant Killer) and the son of a giant-expert friend of Arthur Spiderwick's.
