Ed slinks to the shadows and moves quietly and carefully, having spotted a lone fanged lizard. The reptile in question was currently basking in a small ray of sunlight on a flat rock without a care in the world. [color=chocolate]'Perfect...'[/color] Ed thought to himself and begins to skulk to a better flanking position; like an apex predator would...but from a smaller, less frightening, weaker, and significantly more timid apex predator. Though his intended target was completely unaware of his presence, the young dire rat was still cautious on his approach. It is a well known fact to Ed that overconfidence may be a slow killer, but one with a near-perfect record. Once in position, he launches his preemptive strike. He lunged at the resting lizard, teeth and claws bared. His teeth were to set upon the lizard's neck while his fore claws were at the ready to help his jaws rip and tear the the lizard's throat off of in a matter of seconds. His already superior physical strength combined with the [Stronger I] skill made sure that the sudden ambush, weather or not it killed Ed's intended target, would be a decisive attack. Though, Ed could only hope that the taste of blood would not activate his berserk state. He wanted to kill his prey quickly, not make an excessive mess and splatter it's blood and guts around him in a five foot radius.
