I found a weird creature stalking the forests. It looked nothing like an undead nor a random animal. It was black, had long arms and legs, and purple eyes. Upon striking the beast, it became hostile and proceeded to attack me with great speed.

I scuttled back to the river where I learnt that this creature feared water. So, on top of a silk-constructed raft, I struck the creature from a distance until it died, leaving behind a dark green orb.

I later learnt that these creatures were not native to this world, but rather an invasive species. Due to their pitch-black appearance, the Homo-Arachnids will refer to these creatures as "Bèist-sgàile"
