The view descends into the choking blackness of Thornreach's underbelly. Patches of sickly bioluminescent fungus paint the slick stone in shades of ghostly green. A vast, slime-sheathed shape glides forward, moving with an unnerving, liquid quickness. The Husk-Crawler's sensory stalks tremble, sweeping the shadows. Its feeding radula glistens, dripping caustic fluid that steams and pops against the wet rock. A skittering tide of rats flees in terror. The creature pays them no heed, pulled by a stronger scent. It rotates its gaze, fixing directly on you.
