Cougartooth Swamp Abomination

During the Full Moon/Look/TW: body horror, animal torture

---

The reigns had caused rope burn on Jirou's hands. The moon was here. Warring against Silver was a futile effort now. It was best to let it take control. Let it make the decisions. This would need to be preceded by a venture away from the populace. He could not allow another tragedy. Here Silver could hunt other animals to its liking. So he moved to Cougartooth with the hope that no one would be out here. No one could hear his pained cries and snapping bones. The sinew in his face and limbs stretching into untold agony as Silver took over. His skin folding backwards like uprooted carpet to make way for Silver's gorgeous coat. An explosion of pain coursed through his lower back as the tail jetted out of him like a sword through someone's stomach.

Jirou was gone for now.

Good. The man is weak. His indecision is a hindrance to them both. Now that Silver was here again, they could thrive once more. Stop pretending as if their lives hinged on being calm and collected. They were meant to annihilate. Tonight they should. Any and all would fall beneath the fangs of Silver 31.

The wolf wasted no time as it pounced upon a leaping frog, tearing its legs from its waist once it was in its grasp. The wolf let out a yip of laughter as the thing attempted to scurry away from Silver with only its front legs. Silver would stalk its dying prey. No interest in a mercy kill.

Looks

---

Paws had wandered from the relative safety of the fox territory off into Lauderhill. She was chasing small rodents to pounce and play with, not entirely hungry just bored and wanting to play and chase for the moment, since nothing seemed to suit her hungry wants.

Something bigger.

What caught her attention was the sound of a tipping-laughing sound, the wet sounds mingled with the smell of blood.

Paws silently followed the scent, creeping closer, sniffing, spying a strange wolf with a mangled frog. Her head cocked to the side, short tail flicking from side to side while watching. Not doing anything just yet over this.

TW: animal death, gore

---

Its prey was suffering. The way that it liked it. Mangled and in agony. The kill was simply icing on the cake.

Then it was interrupted. By a scent. The scent of an interloper. Silver whipped its head to see the bobcat lurking in its blind spot and monitoring its behavior. Good. A real opponent was here. Did it dare intervene on the frog's behalf? It was far too late for the amphibian thing.

Silver made a show of it's prowess by snatching the frog in its jaws and tearing it bloody ribbons. Its guts and entrails painting Silver's jaw and fangs in a tapestry of crimson.

It growled and barked at the bobcat with its blood soaked features, begging it to come closer. To meet its fate.

Paws watched, the feline's eyes narrow on the wolf who was just playing with its food.

The attention was on her now, the bobcat stepping out, the short tail flicking while her paws moved silently, partially circling the wolf, ears pinned as it growled and barked at her. Fur rose, growling at the wolf who bore its bloody fangs first.

Nope, she was not going to back down from a fight if this mangy mutt was going to go teeth first.

The feline hissed, teeth bared at the wolf in warning to back down.

Wonderful. The idiot cat would not leave. The way it had hoped.

To gnash and to be gnashed were the only purposes in life.

Silver sprung forward, headlong towards the cat with reckless abandon. Momentum and speed gathering, it would throw its bloodied, open mouth towards her snarling face. Fangs clamping down on her head with hate in its silver eyes.

HIT

The sudden bite down to the top of her head was sharp.

Painful.

The bobcat let out a feline scream, slashing her claws straight at the wolfs face in an attempt to pry it off.

---

Hit
Injury:
Top of the head punctures from bite

It had connected, feeling glee when fang struck flesh and bone. It wanted to pierce brain, but the retaliation was swift and brutal. The cat's claw struck eye and Silver was forced to detach and recoil in agony.

In pain, it attempted to snap back towards the neck of the bobcat, but it's vision was now drenched it blood. It could not find purchase.

---

Miss - Slashed Eye Injury

Paws head was free, the feline was furious at the unprovoked attack.

The moment she was free, the wolf recoiling her head turned as she sunk her teeth straight into the wolfs muzzle, biting down and snarling as the bobcat was clearly going to try and dominate the situation.

---

Hit

Run, idiot. What was it doing? It was going to get Jirou killed. There was nothing he could do to deter it's rampage.

Because this is all there was. A trait forgone, and for what? Normalcy did not exist. This simplicity that Jirou sought would never be the answer. This violence was their purpose.

The pain was excruciating. Its jaw was pushed into its upper lip from the bobcat's chomp. Its paws could potentially push it off, but it was unlikely. It was time to find out how well it could hang on. Silver thrashed its head in the maw of the cat, hoping to throw it from its grasp and maybe knock a tooth loose, but it could not manage the strength.

---

Miss - Slashed Eye
Punctured Jaw and Lips

Paws was snarling, growling at the wolf, she let go of its maw only to adjust where she was biting to clamp down on the side of its neck.

They were PISSED .

Emi and Paws were on the same page of this; fight until you can't. FIGHTFIGHTFIGHFIGHT!

So, they did. It wasn't to kill out right yet, no, it was to teach this wolf a lesson now.

---

Hit

This was becoming quickly lopsided. The cat showed more prowess than had been expected, and Silver was now very aware of its mortality once teeth hit its neck. A gargled yip escaped its mouth, but it hadn't given up yet.

Silver reached up at an awkward angle to bite the long ear of the cat, hoping to loosen its grasp and drag it downward. This time, it connected, thrashing the cat's head while it was still in its neck. Blood dying the wolf as it went everywhere.

---

HIT- Slashed Eye
Punctured Jaw and Lips
Lacerated Neck

The bobcat didn't let go, not right away at least. The moment teeth came in contact with her ear, she felt a horrible tearing sensation as teeth pierced then ripped through her ear.

She snarled, her head whipping, ear tearing from the strength of the thread as her ear was shredded.

---

Miss
Injury:
Top of the head punctures from bite
Bite shred left ear

As she was loosened from her grip, Silver attempted to snap down on one of her legs to shake her to the ground. This would not come to fruition. Silver's wounds were mounting, the human inside had no foothold, but was still panicking.

The two of them now stood facing off, all clamping released. It tried to ready itself for the next impact.

---

MISS

The pain in her head grew, the blood loss wasn't terrible but the pain was grinding down on her, making her head pound.

The snap was met with her leg jerking as she tried to pounce on him; she missed, ear bits in her eye, as she tricked to tackle but tripped painfully on her back paw which twisted from a misstep leaving her missing him, her back now to the wolf.

Miss
Injury:
Top of the head punctures from bite
Bite shred left ear
Twisted Right ankle from dice being mean

The blood was thickening in its working eye. The cat had fumbled, but Silver was to do the same. It attempted to get its fangs into her stomach, but its vision was too skewed. It ended up bumping into the cat instead with little momentum behind it, more like shouldering passed someone in a bar.

We can't see. We're going to die. Jirou wanted Silver to leave. He needed it to back off, and he had to try.

---

MISS - No Jirou influence

The fangs mizzed her stomach, she moved, stepping aside but she misstepped.

There was a jagged hole in the ground, her foot stepped in it, cracking the twisted paw until the feline shrieked from her own clumsiness over trying to avoid a bite.

She was stuck with her paw in the hole, pain shooting through her forearm from it.

---

Crit Fail Miss. Currently stuck so enjoy a free hit
Injury:
Top of the head punctures from bite
Bite shred left ear
Twisted Right ankle from dice being mean-adjusted to broken from crit fail

She had turned herself into a free meal. A fool of a feline made a sitting duck. Silver pounced without hesitation, snagging the leg opposite the stuck one and pulling hard in an attempt to break the stuck leg so she could not flee. Then she would be dead. It would have no trouble bloodletting her and mixing her with the mud.

NO.

The man inside would fight her fate for her. He could not gain purchase wholly this night, but he could pester Silver. Make sure that he was a thorn in its cerebellum. Make sure that this poor cat made it out alive.

FREE HIT AS PERMISSIBLE - 18/100 Influence - No Warning Yet

Pain, bones crunching and breaking; a sickening pop of her hip, made her react sharply. A clawed paw swiping across the side of his neck towards his face.

She didn't care where she hit, she needed him to let go. Needed her leg back as this was turning worse by the minute.

The feline snarled, hating the idea of retreat but her leg was busted and fighting on three legs was not going to do her any favors.
