Eodum and Kali watched from above. Looking through the leaves, looking upon the forest floor below, Eodum and Kali watched their prey, just waiting for the right time to strike. Below, a small monster critter was there. It was quite odd looking: the monster had a plump, slug-like body with two abnormally long arms. It had skin, almost like a human's if it wasn't a dark green with varying shades of brown stripes.
It had a scaled underbelly, most likely to protect itself from scraping across the ground. The scales were a dark gray, some lighter shades mixed in on random scales. It had a large midsection, plump and fat, but it rapidly slimmed down near the end. Its neck was feathered, groups of leaf-colored leaves popping out over the thing's neck. The neck also extended to be as long as its entire body.
The monster's arms were, too, as long as its entire body, even-toed hooves in the place of the hands, and despite them being hooves, each one extended out like a claw. The claws got deeper in color the further they extended from the hooves, eventually becoming black at the sharpened tips.
The head, like the entire thing, was odd. It was shaped like a horse's, and like a horse, it had both an upper and lower set of teeth. It, however, also had a beak. Not a long one, more like the kind you'd see on a triceratops. There were also four eyes, two on each side of the head, and each eye was different from the others. One was like a goat's eye, a horizontal pupil stretching across the yellow background. Another was a vertical slit, quite similar to a snake eye. Another looked just like a human's and the last was pure black with a red pinprick for a pupil. To top it all off, the beast was covered head to tow in slime and mucus.
The monster looked around, scanning the surroundings. Its red pupil flicked to Eodum and Kali, and it scampered away, pushing itself along with its two arms. Eodum followed after as it wasn't very fast, and it also left behind a trail of slime. Eodum thought of what had gone wrong about its disguise. First off, the goat eye was meant to have a wide range of vision. Second, the snake eye was meant for accuracy, the same as a snake. Third, the human eye was supposed to have a wide range of colors to view along with more focus. Finally, that left the red eye. What did it do?
Eodum didn't know, and it had no way of finding out. What mattered now was catching its prey. It had wanted to watch the beast, find out more about it, so it could have the future advantage. That plan, however, had gone down the drain, and now, Eodum had a horse-slug-ape-goat-snake-monster-thingy to kill.
Eodum used its tentacles to swing through the trees, and Kali just used her air platforms to jump through the canopy. Wherever she was about to step, leaves seemed to pulse away from the spot. She planted her foot on it, and once she kicked off, leaves were somehow able to pass through that spot in reality again. Eodum found itself intrigued by the ability; it would ask about it later.
Knocking Eodum from its thoughts, the thing leapt into the air, arms out in front of it. It dug its claws hooves into a nearby tree, the sharpened, bony structures sinking deep into the bark without much resistance. It stretched out its neck, lunging its head towards a branch. Then, in a manner remarkably similar to Eodum, it started swinging with the help of the trees.
Of course, even then, while it did speed up, it was still slower than Eodum. With the passing of half a minute, Eodum was there, sending out blades of aura and energy. The cuts sliced through the creature, cutting it into six distinct parts. The body fell apart, purplish dark blood splattering across the forest floor. The pungent stink of rotting meat wafted through the air. Kali teared up getting near it simply because of how rancidly awful it was.
The surrounding plants seemed to begin rotting and dying, turning brown and dry and disgusting. Then, miraculously, the body parts started moving. Tiny, pink tendrils reached out from the cut open flesh, wriggling towards the other pieces.
Using the tentacles, the pieces crawled to each other, and slowly, laboriously, they reconnected, becoming one whole once more. Even fleshless nails somehow sprouted the fleshy tentacles, and they too arrived back at the main body. The last piece to connect was a severed off piece of the lower jaw. It had been launched a decent way because of its lack of mass but great speed. It was forced to crawl up the fleshy-scaly creature, all the way up to the top where it connected.
It turned its now-whole head to face Eodum, baring a mixture of both blunt and sharp teeth. Some were somehow perfect rectangles and others looked like they could and would pierce steel. Hissing, that purplish liquid squirted from its throat, failing to reach Eodum but making an excellent display. Of course, Eodum didn't care, and instead, it took this as a challenge to kill it.
With alarming speed, swipes from its paws repeated one after the other, dozens and dozens of aura-formed blades ripped through the air, chopping and mincing the creature into little pieces. The chunks were reformed and sliced apart slash after slash, turning the creature into tiny pieces.
After being turned into small enough cuts of meat, bone, scales, and other assorted chunks of the monster. The blood started making an indent in the ground, filling it up with a mix of acidic, rotting blood, mud, and mucus. After about two minutes, it began to represent a bowl of soup after being left out for a few days in the blazing sun. A single thought filled both Eodum and Kali: what the fuck?
