The chamber is a void of absolute darkness, save for the eerie orange glow of your lantern. After squeezing through tight pipes, you spot a shelter symbol. A sudden hiss shatters the silence. You turn to face a black lizard, its armored head pulsing with light as it tracks your fear. It steps closer, blind feelers twitching, sensing your scent and sound. The light on its head fades, then flares again. It is close now, whiskers brushing your skin, deciding if you are food or friend.
