Mabel was preparing to extract the genetic core from the beast when she was surprised that the creature, which appeared to be dead, was rapidly regenerating. Wounds that were once deep and spread throughout its body now closed at an incredible speed. The beast's eyes opened and shone in a frenzied red as one of its hairy and enormous arms launched toward Mabel, attempting to capture her.
Mabel barely had time to react when the beast lunged at her. By a hair's breadth, she managed to escape the creature's claws, with less than a centimeter between her and death. She quickly retreated to protect herself and assess the situation.
Mabel felt a chill run down her spine as she saw the beast regenerate so quickly before her eyes. She had believed she had defeated the monster, but she was wrong. The beast was much more astute than she had imagined, pretending to be dead until the perfect moment to activate some kind of spell or genetic ability that allowed it to regenerate.
