Description summary:
[Varies with Parabolan Quarry]
Parabolan Quarry | Description |
---|---|
Seven-Throated Warbler | The Seven-Throated Warbler greets you […] But it's eying you and every one of its beaks is made of razor steel. |
Focused Albatross | The Albatross opens its beak very wide, like it's working up to trying to swallow you whole. And where would you go? Into its non-existent belly? |
Storm-bird | Its eyes are pits of darkness. It is drawn to fear, curious, not always able to read what it means. |
Honey-Mazed Bear | It looks at you like you're another pot of honey. |
Carnivorous Aurochs | Its eyes are rimmed red. Is it angry with you? Has it forgotten who you are? Or has Parabola wakened some unspeakable sorrow? |
Iron-Toothed Terror Bird | It is snapping its beak at you. It may have forgotten that you raised it from an egg. |
Pinewood Shark | It is circling you, grinning with all of its teeth. You have at least distracted it from its original quarry. |
Curator Mr Veils | It sees you. It simply doesn't take a great deal of interest. You, at your size, don't pose much threat. The Curator has not had much conversation with humans. |
Surface Mr Veils | Veils has a treaty to negotiate; you are not part of these plans. It has so far been taking more of an interest in the diplomats around you. |
