Thunder cracks, shaking the skeletal metal ruins. Rain hammers down in sheets. A massive, six-legged lizard, its caramel-colored hide slick and pale, trudges heavily through the churning mud. It halts, its rectangular head lifting. Knobby spines along its skull gleam under the storm-light. Its gaze locks onto you—a low, rattling hiss escapes its throat.
