As she slowly ran out of air, the fatally overconfident wolf girl had continued to struggle and scream inside the arachnotaur's merciless gut for some time, giving him his sadistic pleasure. Her pleas and thrashing grew ever more desperate, but eventually subsided. Balthazar could feel the wolfess's once sexy body become saturated with digestive acids, and within a few hours, she was nothing but a few clumps of fur and half-digested bone fragments in a sea of nutrient-rich mush. He could taste her satisfying flavor come back up everytime he belched.<br/><br/>(Well it looks like that's the last we'll be seeing of poor Lira, so now's a perfect time to introduce a new char, maybe even one that'll end up actually being the pred)<br/><br/>Name - Meena<br/>Species - harpy (bird-woman)<br/>Age - 28 (human years)<br/>Height - 5'7''<br/>Plumage Colour - Bright red<br/>Skin colour: tan<br/>Clothing - none<br/>Appearance - Has wings instead of arms, clawed feet, and feathers instead of hair on her head; otherwise looks human. Beautiful face with a permanent mischievous smile, but a little on the skinny side, with small but firm b-cup breasts.<br/>Personality - Meena is curious, a little bit hyperactive, and deceptively friendly. Many an overconfident predator half again her size has become a temporary bulge in her tummy.<br/><br/>-------------------------<br/>Sitting in her perch high in a massive tree, Meena observed the peculiar, massive metal creature crash to the ground as it foolishly tried to challenge the dragon-lord's airspace. She'd watched many of her sisters meet similar fates and knew better than to get too close... but she was getting awfully hungry. The harpy looked down at her stomach, totally flat now; the sexy anthro tigress she'd swallowed last night was almost completely gone. Casually, Meena leaned over the edge of her nest and started clearing her throat and coughing. A minute later, she heaved up a tightly compressed ball of bile-soaked orange and black fur, with gleaming yellow teeth scattered here and there - the nest was filled with similar mementos of her past meals.<br/><br/>Smiling broadly, the red-plumed harpy gracefully leapt out of her nest and glided low along the ground towards the unfamiliar people who had climbed out of the slain metal creature. For some reason, they looked especially delectable, but there were enough to give her a fight; Meena decided to be subtle instead.<br/><br/>"Hello there, strange travelers!" she said in a cheerful, high pitched voice, landing far enough away so as to not seem threatening. "You're lucky that the dragon-lord's magical thunderbolts felled that creature who ate you all. You need to be careful in this land, yes yes, and something tells me you're not from around here. Ooooh, you're all so<span style="font-style: italic">cute!</span>I don't think I've ever seen creatures like you before. I'm Meena. Do you need help finding your way?"
