Awakened by the sound, a nasty little creature deep in the hole decides the creatures standing outside its home sound like a delightful meal. One of them seems already dead - all the better - and the other is small enough that it should be simple enough to devour.

The monster bursts from the hole in the ground. It's about six feet long, with four claws feet with too many joints in them and a shriveled rat tail. Its mouth is distended, shaped like a many-toothed lamprey's suckers, and opened wide like a snake's jaw. Its eyes are jelly-like globs slapped onto the face as carelessly as paint on a child's craft, but they glisten with intelligence.

It barrels at Karis with the speed of a motorcycle, impossibly fast for something with only ten feet to accelerate, and leaps up, seeking to fix that massive mouth on her arm and rip it right off.
