Suddenly, a giant silhouette of a monkey-like creature broke through the treetops and descended on to their group. Its face had a large underbite with two large teeth pointing upward, no doubt a weapon it used for tearing the flesh of its foes. Its dark black fur covered every part of its body except for its hands and feet; it had large brown spikes rolling down its back along with dark blue eyes. With such a small amount of light, its figure was vastly more terrifying. It landed next to Maria and pounded on its chest while roaring.
Jacob's legs felt like Jelly, but he forced himself to grab Maria and gain some distance. The words were appearing slowly next the monsters' body, but he had no time to read them. The monster bellowed and swung its massive arm down where Maria had been standing. The impact was so devastating, it shook the entire tree they were on. Maria threw her spear as her and Jacob backed away. However, the creature dodged it with ease.
