One in particular at the head of the road caused Twilight to pause in amazement, a shiver running up her spine at the sight of it. The monster stood crouched on two legs. Its body, covered with some sort of jagged plating, was coiled like a spring, looking ready to leap forward and strike. It carried with it a massive whip that was twisted around it, and its other hand was covered in what could not be mistaken to be anything else but fire. Two horns curled from the top of its head as it roared down silently at Twilight, its face twisted into a eternal snarl of rage. Opposite the creature was an alicorn, facing the monster with an unrelenting position, wings raised in defiance.
