Colored black and white, it gripped Litha on the back with its clawed legs, and right now, it was still the size of a human baby. Its eyes were closed even as the shocked expression of the team was locked on it.

Litha could also see it now on her back, and...she finally felt its weight, too, and the little ugly fucker was weighing her down. Litha straightened and took a deep breath.
"Get it away from me." She said in the voice of someone who was about to lose it and was just clinging to the last bit of sanity left.
