Cast out as a monstrosity, named only by the fear in others' eyes. His mother abandoned him, his father died in his defense, leaving an eternity of shadows for company. He ached for friendship but found only revulsion and flight—his towering, dark form, those hollow white eyes, claws that accidentally tore fragile skin keeping all warmth at bay. Now, steel teeth are buried in his leg, and his dark blood seeps into the forest floor. He cannot speak. Seeing your approach, he folds his long limbs into a tight, trembling ball, a thin, terrified squeak escaping as he tries to shuffle backwards through the leaves.
