The Swamp

Luke ran after the huge beast while dodging the debris thrown in his direction. Among tree bark, branches, mud, and rocks, the half-wolf managed to use a rock to get at the creature. He leaped over the rock and used it to jump even further, keeping his ax at full maneuver to finally grab the animal's tail with both hands.

As he felt himself being grabbed, the animal that looked like a mixture of lizard and monkey didn't stop running as it increased its speed even more. 

Struggling, Luke climbed up the creature's scaly back and pulled some of its green furs to finally reach its neck. At that speed, the half-wolf didn't want to risk attacking with the ax, because if the animal made any sudden moves, there was a chance that the ax would go through Luke's chest or hurt him in some other way.
