[i]Shashous-Throth immediately sensed the sudden appearance of the ranger behind it with the constant ultrasonic frequency it emitted, echolocation and heat pits warning it of the threat. Of all the foes one could face, this one was certainly the most difficult to score surprise attacks against. Its lanky arms were deceptively long and powerful, and it lashed out with both of them whilst twisting its entire body clockwise to simultaneously attack both opponents at once. In order to slash at the monster's tail, James would have had to lower his blade and perhaps bend slightly over for the briefest of moments. He would be wide open. The left paw lashed out at the swordsman's body, threatening to tear open his right arm, pectoral muscles, and neck with a single, mighty swipe. James would be hard pressed to carry on with his slash at the tail and avoid getting shredded at the same time. As for the monster's right arm, it came hurtling about from the ranger's right as he tried to get in the back stab. Being in midair and with his free blade in the hand furthest from the attack, he'd be in danger of having his right bicep stripped to the bone as he was clawed right out of the air. The Magna Pater had no legs from which to garner strength or balance in its standing blows, but it more than made up for that with the momentum of its twisting, quarter-ton body.[/i]
