[ Again, not meant to be a challenge, but a genuine question. As much as Keith likes fist fighting himself, there's not a lot that lives out in the Wilde that he wants to be punching with just his bare hands. As for what the mystery creature out there is, it wastes no time emerging into the clearing. It shows up on all fours, a large beast so badly infected by the Cwyild that its hard to even recognize as having once been a bear. Rotting, gangrenous flesh is visible through its heavy winter pelt, its eyes cold and dead as it stares them both down. Slowly, the bear rises up onto its hind legs and roars.]
