A large reptile with dark scales scampers quickly into the arena, charging to 0n5e. Val Kilmer the vaath is a horrible amalgamation of insect and reptile with a hard, thorny brown carapace and long, white teeth dripping venomous saliva. Narrow, slitted eyes peek out from its spike-covered head-shell and a long, snaky tendril extends from a small cavity above its mouth, ending in a small, sphincter-like mouth of its own. When Val reaches his target, he swipes at Rocky with a claw, hoping to draw Rocky into his grasp.
