He was tiny-no more than 9 inches tall, fitting neatly in the palm of a hand. He wore a red mushroom cap for a hat, mossy green tufts for hair, and leafy suspenders that looked handmade. His big, round eyes were filled with panic.

From the shadows emerged a hulking beast-at least twelve feet tall. Its body was a tangled mix of bark, muscle, and pulsing fungus. Long, vine-like arms dangled with claws sharp as daggers, and its head looked like a rotting tree stump, hollowed out with glowing red eyes peering through the bark.
