He didn't know about them being hunted, but they were certainly being watched. He felt it like an electric charge on the back of his neck, making the smaller hairs there stand on end. Solpor didn't respond to the Maddy, focusing on listening.
There was almost no warning before the creature burst out of the shadows. In the ethereal lighting from the motes and the mushrooms, it was almost impossible to pinpoint where exactly it had come from, but Solpor saw it running straight for Maddy, angled to strike her left flank.
He lunged forward, striking the creature with a heavy forepaw before it could so much as touch Maddy. The blow sent it tumbling end over end backwards until it landed in the leaf litter, stunned. Solpor took this moment to rush it, putting a massive paw on the thing's chest to keep it from getting up and trying again.
"What...is it?" he asked, frowning as he studied the creature. It looked almost like a nightmare, but it was somehow wrong. Its limbs were in the right place, but it had been running on two legs. There was a jagged line down the middle of its chest stretching all the way down between its legs to its groin, and the skin along that line was rotten and black. It stared up at him through unsettling eyes, eyes that did not belong in the skull of any drakiri breed. They glowed sickly green and the pupils were mishapen, one significantly larger than the other. Solpor decided quickly he would rather not have his paw on it if it could be avoided, but he wasn't given the chance.
Appendages shot out from the middle of the creature's chest, impossibly long fingers wrapping around his wrist like vines. When he tried to pull back they clamped down hard enough to hurt and Solpor bared his teeth in a ferocious snarl, trying to shake it off.
When he lifted the creature he saw roots attaching it to the ground, growing out from the thing's back and digging rapidly into the ground. If one snapped, more replaced them, and as he pulled his arm away the hands extended further, stretching impossibly far and dragging him closer with surprising strength every time he stood still.
Maddy snap around and saw what happen but did not leave time as she change head first into the creature and then bite down on the arm that held Solpor as she growls and snrals as she try her best snapping it off and true her back hooves to the creature face and kicking over and over.
Mckenzie came in charging with full speed at the creature side and ram into it as her sister kick the creature. She remember reading about there things. "Careful it a Rifter and this one had to been a nightmare." She growls grabbing it tail in her mouth.
