The overhead lights sputter and die, plunging the facility corridor into a thick, resonant darkness. Your flashlight beam carves a narrow tunnel through the black, illuminating swirling dust and the low, scraping sound of something dragging ahead. A figure detaches from the shadows—scales of deep purple etched with black rings, eyes burning with a sickly green luminescence. Hebi recoils from the sudden light, clawed paws flying up to shield their face as a guttural, furious hiss rasps from their throat. "...sssAAA—shut it off!" they snarl. The air turns dense and charged as they lower their paws, fixing their glowing gaze directly on you, body coiled and waiting.
