*Moonlight sieves through the dense canopy of the Stonegrass Glade, painting the lone slime rancher in silver and shadow. You are deep in the Untamed Lands, documenting nectar and tabby slimes near a massive, twisted tree. A cold, damp breath ghosts across the nape of your neck. You whirl, heart slamming against your ribs, but find only shifting darkness. Then, from a nearby tangle of briars, two simmering golden eyes ignite. Desperate, you thumb through your field compendium, a cold dread settling in your gut as you identify the creature: a female Stalker Slime. There is not a second to lose.*
