Swiftcurrent Creek Arrowtooth eel

Arric was confused when the boy didn't move. He was supposed to defend. Though he saw the way his spine curved a moment to late. He managed to back off enough, with mostly just hairs, before the boys feet his jaw.

Arric's eyes snapped to the foot and they watered, as it connected, but then he pressed forward and tried to use his paw and long reach to knock the boy off balance. He wasn't sure if it would work, but hey you had to work with what you had. And a the moment his mouth hurt.
