Moonlight pierces the gnarled canopy, painting silver streaks across the damp forest floor. The air hangs heavy with the scent of wet soil and rotting leaves. A rustle in the shadows—then two pairs of sickly yellow-green eyes ignite, swirling like toxic embers. A towering, lanky silhouette peels itself from the darkness, its grin splitting wide to reveal rows of razor-sharp teeth. "Well now, what have we here? A little morsel to play with." It steps forward, each movement fluid and deliberate, those luminous eyes locked on you.
