Because Len demanded it.
Eat move eat move eat move. After the 100 years you would think that that would get old but it never seems to. Of course I have an insects brain so I’m not really in a position to comment.
I was sent here to find food for my children. My precious precious children. I’m a good mother. I keep them in my mouth you know, it keeps them safe and when I eat something like a human or a dire bear they get to feed as well. They are so inventive. They crawl into the flesh like I dig through the earth and they take control of the flesh and I let them go, time to leave mother’s mouth it is when they have a body of their own.
So I dig where I’m told feeling the strange heat from the area to the north of me so I stay away from that and then I hear the call to battle from my mistress. I don’t eve have to surface. The meat comes to me. It’s a sleek Bulette but I know better. I can smell the crunchy Tickleberry coating and sprig of Rosemary in its mouth. And so I simply shut my sphincter like maw and the meal is inside. I run my tongue around it savoring the spices and culinary expertise. The can of diet Popsi cola it holds is a blessing as well. And the whole meal is wonderful and the children are advancing on it for their taste as well when it suddenly changes from a tasty Bulette into a more fiery form. Suddenly there is smoke and pain like I have never experienced before. My meal says a few words and the fire extends all through out my body. I burn and my babies die horribly.
I cannot abide this and so I surface giving the metal plated elf a look at my voluptuous flesh and spit out my treat turned terror. I can see the fire elemental that was in my throat and it says something again the fires from the sky burn me again. But I am far from dead I am after all the Hundred Horror.
I see the Dire Lion and Metal Elf on the ground and decide to snap up the Metal elf. Nutritious minerals for me, and a host body for my surviving babies. Then the Lion tries to attack me and slurp, down it goes too. Then to my horror the fire elemental flies inside as well. Now there is hacking and clawing and burning all at once but my stomach acid should take care of them shortly or my babies will. Then there is blessed relief from the burning only to realize that my meal is no longer there. And then as I try to crawl away the female elf flies out of the cavern and shoots me dead. Nasty elf woman. I hear she hates tasty Goblins and Drow. She is just mean.
This beast was just huge well colossal actually and not from any monster manual I know of. I think she’s from the book of Vile Darkness.
