The Blast Ape soldiers, burly and tense, shifted uneasily as the masked creature approached their territory.
They stood on alert, with their massive bodies quivering with a sudden aggressive tension.
The thick, heavy brows of the largest one furrowed deeply, and the muscles of its broad shoulders twitched with suspicion. Their round, deep-set eyes glinted with wariness, narrowing at the strange figure stumbling toward them.
The air grew taut with twistedness as they flexed their fingers, revealing the explosive seeds gripped tightly between them. Thump, thump, thump, went the subtle footfalls as they positioned themselves to throw, ready to obliterate the unknown threat in seconds.
"Hrrmph… krrraagh," grunted the guard leader, his eyes flicking back and forth between the masked figure and his comrades. His nostrils flared, snorting heavily as if trying to detect any familiar scent from the strange creature before them.
