The creature's eyes darted around, keeping one on Celeste's drawn weapon, and the other on her face. Before the sword had even reached the apex of it's slash, Taggerung tilted his body to say, fully dodging the slash before it could of struck him. As he did so, his hand shot forward towards Celeste's face, open palmed. It was now visible that the creature possessed claws. While not long, nor particularly sharp, they still had the power and speed to rip flesh apart. The claw was aimed directly at Celeste's throat, with Taggerung following through with the grab. It was fairly impressive how such a malnourished being could move with incredible speed and agility. As Taggerung moved at his incredible speed, ripping and tearing could be heard, much akin to the sound of fabric being ripped.
