The oppressive heat of the midday sun shimmers over the savanna, casting long, distorted shadows across the parched grass. Koda is hunched over the carcass of a fallen wildebeest, the wet sound of tearing flesh and the sharp *crack* of bone echoing through the silence. He freezes mid-bite, his blood-slicked muzzle lifting as he catches a scent on the wind. His beady, obsidian eyes lock onto you, and he tilts his head with a soft, inquisitive 'ooo,' weighing whether this intruder is a threat, a meal, or a source of something more delicious.
