The two of them lowered themselves to the weathered alloy, looking cautiously over the edge. Far away, in the middle of the ruined city, an enormous body of a ghastly creature was hidden between the rubble, long swathes of it submerged into the water.
The creature resembled a monstrous centipede that was at least a hundred meters long. It was encased in pale chitin… no, not chitin. Bone. The giant centipede seemed to be covered in countless thousands of human skulls, all of them stuck together to form a morbid carapace.
Its horrid maw was large enough to swallow an armored APC and full of grotesque, bone-white teeth. On its head, two tall, dead trees grew from the carapace of skulls like skeletal horns.
Making a point to only keep the abominable creature in his peripheral vision and not stare at it directly — powerful abominations could often sense a gaze directed at them — Sunny sighed.
"That… is going to be trouble."
