Hours after facing the Shardback Ravager, Ethan encountered a second Elite Beast, only this one didn't burst from the ground...
It stalked him.
He only realised when a shadow detached itself from a rock formation.
Ethan leapt back and turned around to face the beast.
It was a sleek, low-profile predator with dark, stone-like hide and elongated limbs built for leaping. With its mouth split wide, it revealed needle-like teeth that threatened to pierce him.

Unlike the Ravager, this one was fast, very fast.
It wasn't on the level of the Skyrend Hawk, but seeing it move on land was frightening. To make it worse, when it moved, its body shimmered faintly...
'Where's it gone?!'
It vanished, or so it seemed.
Ethan realised what had happened quickly.
'That's not invisibility... It's camouflage!'
