Behemoth-Sized Monster (2)

The massive reptilian beast loomed over them, its massive shadow swallowing the little light in the already dim forest and plunging it into complete darkness.

The pressure coming off the monster's body was suffocating and even without moving, its sheer presence weighed down on them heavily. It was like they were being slowly being crushed under something extremely heavy.

The monster's obsidian-black scales gleamed under the faint light that managed to slip through the thick forest canopy.

The scales were jagged, like hardened volcanic rock, and the deep crimson veins running along its body seem to pulse with a slow but terrifying rhythm.

Its horned head, adorned with multiple spines, tilted slightly as it sized them up.

Then, in a single heartbeat, it made it move.

The ground trembled violently as the beast lunged forward, its massive tail whipping through the air, cutting through thick trees as if they were nothing but twigs.
