Fig stumbled as the creature was suddenly underfoot, shrieking at him. The boy jumped to get away from it, blinking in bewilderment down at the noodle-y rat. He twisted and watched as it dove into the trees with Reyes not far behind. He came up behind the other, then shifted around the tangle of limbs to see if he could get to it.

"Let's see..." Fig said as he bent down and peered through the bark while the creature hissed, "It doesn't seem to have too much room. Maybe we can tear away at some of these branches and scare it back out." Not all of the limbs were too thick, plus they might have an opportunity to dig it out depending on how tangled they were beneath the surface.
