After a few minutes of falling, the old man landed inside a hole with a loud 'thud' and grunted in pain. However, before he could turn, he heard a huffing and growling sound behind him. 

Just as he turned his head to see what that was, he came face to face with a black figure standing on fours. Its red eyes, long and sharp fangs told of its savagery. 

Before the old man could let out a fearful scream, the huge animal pounced on him and sank its fangs into the man's neck, and bit off a chunk of flesh before gnawing on him.
