The forest’s breath stilled the moment your companions hurled you into the cavern’s throat, their mocking calls fading into the trees. Within, a darkness thicker than pitch clung to the air, interrupted only by the stark white gleam of scattered bones—some recognizably human, others belonging to forgotten beasts. From the deepest shadow, a monumental form detached itself: coarse black fur clotted with earth, a savage, jagged shard of bone driven through its muzzle. Its draconic tail disturbed the grit on the cave floor, while claws like honed metal screeched against stone. The creature towered above you, its eyes wide, lidless pools of intent. A low, visceral growl trembled through the damp, still air, a promise written in vibration.
