Fubuki looks at Snatcher dubiously, then at the torso, and sighs. "One moment..."

The ground beneath the torso starts glowing, forming a circle around it with a line dividing it right through the middle...

And then the ground splits in two and promptly folds up and together, forming a rock sandwich with the torso inbetween.

She turns back to Snatcher. "Now I can do it."

Rook stops running, looking up from his scanner so that he can lean down and look on over a large drop in height. He appears to have reached the end of a small cliff, and at the bottom...

"...that...that is rather intimidating." Rook admits to himself.

The thing is humanoid, but that's not saying much. It's huge in terms of size, albeit not as large as the Tatzelwurm before it - one of its hands could easily wrap around Rook's torso without issue. It's incredibly muscular, too, and covered in a brown and red exoskeleton, topped off with a kabuto beetle-like horn jutting out of its head. It has a disturbingly human face, with a thick brow, a large chin, disturbingly fleshy lips that reveal a set of tombstone-esque teeth, and its two eyes are different from each other. One emits a bright light and never seems to stop, while the other seems to take in all the light it can, looking pure black as a resul...

Wait. That's...that's clearing up. The eyes look normal now? And a good deal more aware than the wild animal the Tatzelwurm was.

"What...? What was I doing? I was walking, and then..." The beast trails off as it notices Rook, its expression turning into a wicked grin. "Oh! This is interesting! I didn't notice your approach! If I had..."

Its pupils shrink as the grin gets wider. "You'd be dead on the ground already."

Rook decices that now would be a good time to hightail it out of here, quickly converting his Proto-Tool to a grappling hook and firing off at a faraway rock, zipping off into the distance.

The beast promptly leaps up, landing on the higher ground with a slam that leaves a small crater and sends tremors through the ground, and then he...oh dear god he should not be moving that fast oh good fuck
