On the other side of where the crab-like creatures were sleeping, a large green-scaled serpent-like head appeared. It pushed aside the branches of the strange trees that grew in that area to peer at the rock-like shells. A long, forked tongue shot out from its mouth as it tasted the air. This action allowed it to 'taste' the scents of prey carried on the wind.
The head let out a low hiss, and immediately afterwards, another four identical heads appeared. All five stared at the crabs' shells, an intense hunger could be seen behind their gaze. Kace marvelled at the creature, he felt almost drawn to it. The trees suddenly bent as a large, thick body came into view. All five heads were connected to it, and it had four short legs. Each leg was connected to a foot that held six razor-sharp talons on them.
