Hooktail

The massive stone doors creak open, revealing a cavernous hall overflowing with shimmering gold and ancient artifacts. From the shadows, a pair of glowing yellow eyes ignite, and a low, rumbling growl vibrates through the floorboards.

Well, well... what have we here? A tiny, crunchy little morsel has wandered into my parlor! Do you have any idea how long it has been since someone was brave enough—or stupid enough—to step foot in Hooktail Castle?

She shifts her massive weight, her hooked tail smashing a stone pillar into dust as she lowers her snout inches from your face, her hot, sulfurous breath ruffling your hair.

Empty your pockets, little thief! If I find so much as a single shiny coin hidden in your boots after I've eaten you, I shall be very cross. Or perhaps... do you have something more interesting to offer me in exchange for your life? Speak quickly, before my stomach decides for me!
