The sound of those claws scrambling against the grotto's floor could have been water dripping, and at first that was what Kigipigak connected the sound to. There was something moving near his flank and as he turned to witness it he saw a shock of tawny fur and the deer-thin limbs reaching from the shadows. The movement ignited Kigipigak's desire to chase and he could not contain it. The sagging carcass was put out of his mind and he focused on that wiry thing, lunging after it.

The light that managed to enter the grotto scrawled incongruent shapes across the floor and when the creature neared the opening, those shapes twisted and morphed again. Kigipigak saw a halo-effect around the creature's face but otherwise they were a shadow to him. 

Tall ears, narrow body, long and lean—Kigipigak reached out and tried to grasp at them to pull them back from the light, aiming poorly for where he thought the tail would be.
