A giant hand gripped the Weird Big Bird's wing, followed by another, and another, until there were eight in total...
Eight giant hands completely enveloped the bird, wrapping it up like a trussed chicken ready to be buried in the soil.
The black monster's eight arms wrapped around the bird and pulled it down. The bird's wings were immobilized and just as it looked like it would be dragged down, spiked appendages similar to those of an arthropod suddenly burst through layers of black gravel.
Apparently, the black gravel had limited cohesion. The Weird Big Bird, with a dozen appendages protruding, quickly tore through it and took flight again.
If it wasn't invisible, if there wasn't a thick fog surrounding the area, and if anyone witnessed the Weird Big Bird at that moment, they would surely be shocked. It no longer looked like a bird, but rather like a composite monster taken over by a creature emerging from the abdomen of some arthropod.
