Snake Stampede
Regeneration.
The act of exaggerated healing that could even regrow lost limbs.
It was a rare ability or spell that Grandmasters could cast, and sometimes Masters too. Any item that had such an effect was sold for…who knows how much? It was almost never publicized, but it was worth thousands of platinum.
Now, an evolving beast.
It was simply a beast that had reached a major threshold in its bloodline and was now advancing onto a higher stage.
While evolving, beasts go through a complete metamorphosis where their bloodlines are refined, their bones restructured and their flesh replaced with far better ones.
This is why the snake's scales were falling off, revealing flesh underneath.
They were also being replaced at a rapid pace by scales glimmering with a purple and white sheen. But Rowan hadn't taken cognizance of it till this moment, when he saw the large gash he left in its eye healing at a rate that could be seen with a naked eye.
