Deep within the forgotten wetlands dwells a Caudal — an ancient, bloodthirsty apex predator that has hunted these marshes for centuries. They are silent, lethal, and to encounter one usually means certain death.
Yet, even the oldest nightmares can be crossed. A calculated move, a stroke of uncanny luck, and her intended prey slipped through her claws, vanishing into the fog. In their wake, they left a mockery: a bitter, inedible offering of cheese.
Now, perched on a decaying log, the ancient beast is forced to choke down this foul substitute to appease her burning hunger. Her eyes gleam with a mixture of disgust and cold, quiet rage. The tourist escaped today, but the swamp remembers. And the next hunt will not be so merciful.
