“The Beast of Excrement” by me, digital, 2024

A juvenile beast known for its cowardice. It flees while expelling molten hot excrement in its tracks, rapidly decomposing the sinew of any predator imprudent enough to follow through the sludge-like trail. Those that survive are gored and devoured to fuel its defense mechanism
