It first started with growls—many, many growls. It was a layered sound of throats in the dark, stacked on top of each other, some low and wet, some sharp and breathy, and some too deep to belong to anything that should have been able to move between trees.
Then came the low rumbling sound—like something gurgling. Like their bellies were full of something you should not consume.
And then the other animalistic noises that rang out: clicking jaws, chittering, a hiss that sounded unpleasant, the scraping of claws against bark, and the thump of heavy bodies dropping from branches.
There were far too many to keep count of.
They spawned from every direction around Grimm and Puck.
They saw the large forms just barely covered by the fog and the cover of the trees.
