The staff led them deeper into the building, where the more powerful beasts were kept.
They finally stopped before a row of protected cages. The staff then gestured toward the first beast. "This is Scaltor."
The beast was a massive lizard whose body was covered in thick metallic scales.
Each of his scales overlapped each other like armor plating. Even at rest, its muscles looked dense and powerful.
"Scaltor is a beast known for its overwhelming physical strength."
"Its bite can shatter armor, and its body is naturally resistant to both blades and magic."
Loreia observed it for a moment, tapping her chin. "It looks slow."
The staff smiled. "It is, but if you're looking for something that can charge through enemies like a battering ram, Scaltor is unmatched."
Luna glanced at Loreia. "Not your style, though, is it?"
Loreia shook her head. "I prefer something more… versatile."
