[Now this isn't what the blue-and-purple manticore scented earlier, just before the dreaded fog rolled in, but it is human—

—or was human. Apparently.

Big emphasis on "was".

That is one freakish-looking....

Uh. What is that thing supposed to be? Something to be careful with? Possibly.

The thing looks like it could really put the hurt on someone, and that's before it eats somebody.

At any rate, a gigantic manticore with three rows of teeth [to say nothing of what else the fog did to him oh boy] is probably not the kind of thing a kelpie might want to see about now.]
