Shadow of the Demon Lord: Asanbosam



"I need you to understand that the asanbosam’s feet are enormous hooks, and its teeth are made of iron, it hangs in trees waiting to ambush hapless forest travelers, be they man or beast. Their hooked legs allow them to swing and climb through the tree with ease...imagine the metallic thunk as it's hooks penetrate the wood, as it closes on you? Thunk. Thunk. Thunk, thunk, thunk, thunk. Did I mention they like to play with their food? To terrorize their prey? To harry them? It isn't enough that they drink your life blood, but they want it to be rich in terror...in fear...before they bite into you. Chomp. Chomp. Chomp. Chomp."
