Ouroboros Spine adakite

Something slunk in to his vision: red and white; he did not look too long or hard for it, and knew it was his sister. He smelled the musk of fox upon her which drove his killing instinct in to overdrive; but before long they were twinned against this trapped thing, and Tautukpik could not wait much longer.

He plunged in to the ulaq without any understanding of what it might be; only thinking it was a rat, because that is what he knew. When faced with the creature inside, he saw it was very long-bodied, and it reeked of fish, and it gave high-pitched screams as it brandished tiny teeth. Its body curved upwards as its short fur spiked, and with a nearly hyena-like laugh of his own, Tautukpik drove forwards with snapping teeth.

The creature huddled quickly to the back wall of the ulaq, and when it saw how sloppily the boy came for them, it dodged and wove its way towards the entrance where awaited the second wolf. The otter didn't realize how profoundly unlucky it was until the next instant as the floor of the ulaq was, undoubtedly, stained.
