Siltfang Ravager

Thud!

Lucius clenched his fists as he listened to the approaching heavy footsteps. 

Sniff!

Lucius covered his nostrils as he inhaled a nauseating odor. While beasts generally smell bad, this one was different. 

"Impurities." Lucius muttered under his breath with a deep frown.

When practicing his statue martial technique, his body removed impurities, so he was familiar with this stench. Whatever evolution this beast had undergone here was unique, probably due to the Aetheric Salt Crystals.

Thud!

The heavy footsteps stole Lucius's attention again, revealing a hulking creature approaching. The beast stood nearly 12 feet tall when on all fours, with a muscular, sinewy body covered in jagged, greyish-brown scales that shimmered with a faint crystalline sheen.
