On entering the next room, Marric found himself face to face with something unpleasant though.<br/><br/>"Ghhh....? Ghhhaaaarhhh..." The creature was like a corpse but with thorns in its flesh, and the malnourished seemed form covered by a tough hide, as well as fingers like bony claws. The creature looked like it might have once been human, but if so, it was now closer to a cadaver than a living being. Its white eyes turned towards Marric, and it let out a screech, its arms and body puffing with sharp spikes. The thing looked like it could<em>kill</em>a person just by<em>running through</em>them.
