The Moss-Covered Man
Snort!
A boar went around a forest, using its tusks to scrape the bark of a moist tree to reach the algae growing behind. It ate the algae patch, consumed a couple of mushrooms growing nearby and then proceed to sniff out the next potential algae patch.
There were traces of tree bark being removed at the foot of many trees, all thanks to its appetite. The boar was massive in stature, spanning a length surpassing two metres, weighing almost a ton.
To maintain such a statue, it had a voracious appetite. And since it primarily fed on algae, moss, and mushrooms, its feeding time spanned hours at a stretch.
This was its usual feeding grounds, evident by the markings it had carved out on the trees previously to warn any other creature that dared intrude. But unbeknownst to it, two figures were observing it in silence from atop a tree.
