Description and lore
A subterranean creature warns of its approach through tremors in the ground. Cracks, moving pebbles and rippling puddles announce its heavy presence.
Pebbles tremble at the edge of a crack. A shallow puddle breaks into tight rings before the source comes into view.
The ground gives the warning first. Each deeper thud makes the unseen body ahead seem heavier.
