Underworld

Prologue (I’m going to raise the level of violence for this trilogy, I’ll do this by making up brutal creatures for it and moving on from crossbows and stuff, so say hi to assault rifles, shotguns, pistols, grenades and rocket launchers. I’ll still keep swords and stuff like that though)

A group of four hunters, one with a sniper rifle, and the rest with assault rifles, trekked through the mushroom forest near the edge of the bioluminescent region. However they were unaware that they were being hunted. Nearby, a huge, ravager like creature the size of a rock drake was sniffing the air for food, and it had just caught sight of the group. It walked towards them, moving quietly, hoping not to alert them. Then, it leapt at them, mouth gaping open, it grabbed one in its jaws, and threw them aside, they hit a mushroom tree with a sickening thud, and fell to the floor, dead. The one with the sniper rifle prepared to shoot, but the creature ripped off his arms, and tore his body open, spilling his innards onto the floor. One of the men screamed as it turned to him, growling. He began shooting, but the bullets had little effect. It grabbed him in its jaws, and threw him off the cliff, he fell down to the bioluminescent region, and his screams stopped abruptly, presumably because he hit the floor. The last man dropped his rifle and tried to run, but the creature leapt on him and decapitated him, swallowing his head whole. The creature howled victoriously, and walked away.
