[QUOTE="Theo R Cwithin, post: 5866213, member: 75712"] While travelling at night, the PCs might see from a distance a village on fire. Investigating they hear the sounds of battle and see in the smoke the shadows of men defending and dying. Beyond the fire, they see dozens of torches of the assailing marauders. At some point, in a flash of lightning or in the right glare of the fire (or alternatively, when the assailing army rears up or takes flight), the PCs realize it's not a rading party at all, but in fact a single huge monster, its fiery innards seen glowing through gaps in its scales. The thing is too big, the air too thick, and the situation too chaotic to truly grasp what it is before it disappears back into the forest, its inscrutable wrath spent. Further investigation the following morning turns up footprints or other spoor that lead only so far before the track (which no animal will follow!) is lost-- a disturbing development given the beast's great size.
