Hiss!
Krager, the one that turned into a cat hissed as it jumped onto a tree branch, turning into a snake to coil over it, reaching the top. It then watched a shadow flash by on the ground, tussling with the bird that had attacked Krager before.
It was a mongoose. But, unlike a regular mongoose whose body—excluding the tail—grew to a length of 2-3 feet, this was double in size. And, it was faster, flashing on the ground as it constantly swerved directions, attacking the bird from multiple directions.
When the bird took off to the air, the mongoose jumped onto it, biding its claws before dragging it onto the ground.
It then bit into the bird's wing joint, injuring it, preventing it from taking off to the air. And in response to the bird's pecking, it jumped back, evading the attack. Without even a single pause, it arrived behind the bird, feinting an attack to distract the bird before targeting its claws this time, injuring it severely.
