Crab Creature on Steroids

The noise seemed to be approaching in my direction, “What is that?” There was a clearing that led to a cave it was covered with trees and vines climbing around the exterior of the opening.

There was a light coming from the entrance of the cave as I walked towards it; the noise from it was getting louder almost a screeching and wining noise. I took my time getting there as I did not know what could be lurking within the cave.

with a rush of wind out flew this crazy looking crab on steroids, it landed on its large claw like feet, it stood 18 feet tall, with a wing span that covered its entire back. The horn protruding out the top of its head was shape like a spear. Its mouth open and close like a venous fly trap. I froze and could not move, I look to the right and I ran towards the rocks I hid my self there hoping it did not see me.

It started walking in my direction, I slump down so it could not see where I was hiding, the earth trembled, trees were sinking in the ground, It walked right pass me…..
