King Elk Forest civilization is coming and it means to exterminate us

It was for him. It had to have been for him. Uka knew that his angst leading up to the claiming of this forest wasn't imagined; there was something here that demanded his presence, and it terrified him. As the bellows of the bull mingled with those of the wolves, Uka could feel the blood in his ears pulsing, pulsing with disquietude. He had to figure out where the calls came from, and he knew that now was a better time than any.

Uka waited until all heads were turned upward to the eclipse and the clearing was bathed in complete darkness before making his way out. He started at a slow, apprehensive walk, but quickly sped up to a gallop, then a full sprint. But not even his years of adventuring and curiousity could have prepared him for the ineffable glory of the beast he'd found before him.
