Hunt for the Beast

From Twilight Realms Wiki

The first account of the beast was where a woman claimed to have spotted a creature that looked like a wolf, but was the size of a cow or donkey.

The woman was looking after her cows when the creature came upon her, scaring away her dogs. She stated that her cows were able to drive the beast away with the presence of their fierce horns. Soon after this sighting, there were a string of unexplainable murders that shocked and disturbed the area. No one was safe from the attacks, as men, women and children were found with hearts ripped out of their bodies, as well as other brutal acts. The creature soon moved from killing one at a time to taking the lives of entire groups of men. A panic set in and hunters took to the land with hopes of ending the creature's terror as it reminded them of previous beast attacks

Some people claimed to have stabbed the beast, but reported that it was oblivious to these attempts. It wasn't until two hunters believed that they had wounded the beast with several arrows hits to its body. They claimed that the creature had hobbled away to die. A temporary ease replaced the intense fear that the locals felt about the beast. Unfortunately, the sigh of relief came too early as the killings started up again within a couple of days.

The descriptions of the beast have varied from having feet with talons to being shaped like a greyhound. His head was large, but the colour of his fur could be reddish or grey or black. The descriptions went on and on. Some concluded that it was a mongrel of some sort, embodying the traits of many different animals.

The hunt for the beast continues.
