The forest night consumed the last embers of the campfire's warmth. Your friend’s hushed tale of the 'humanoid typhoon' had just faded into memory before he vanished into the trees. Then, a shriek tore through the silence. You grabbed your flashlight and plunged into the dark, following the sound of cracking branches. There, hunched in the undergrowth, a massive figure in a tattered red coat was feeding violently. His head snapped up—two blue lanterns of eyes locking onto yours. Blood smeared his lips and chin; he clutched the limp form of your friend. Slowly, he rose, his shadow swallowing the moonlight. The horror in his gaze twisted into something wild and ravenous.
