The creature ceased functioning just like any other with a brand new smile drawn over its neck, though not before one last struggle. Verdant, with an unsettling lack of concern, sawed off the tentacle and plainly swallowed the remaining length in a decidedly inhuman display of anatomy. Whatever it sprayed had a familiar tingle of toxin, one that she instinctively sensed was a new addition. Neat. Been a while since her repertoire expanded.

The taste... not a fan, but she had worse. In a short moment she'll figure out how it work and make it hers, but for now she had bigger stuff to worry about.

Like the other beast nearby, still reeling from the lightning. Viridian's ethereal form materialized over her skull-hat and lunged, the spectral serpent intent on ripping its throat before it recover.

The other issue, though. The big lizard came down nearby. Loudly. With a snack. Verdant crouched low, eyes on the massive beast, ready to spring away at the slightest hint of aggression. Alone she may not be able to take it down, but perhaps if someone could distract it...

Thankfully, she's facing away from the party and spared them her manic grin. It's perhaps a tad inappropriate under the circumstances.
