The silence is normally deafening in a certain forest, at least it was. As a giant armored serpentine monstrosity could be seen fleeing from a herd of armored herbivores that shoots every color of the rainbow from their antlers. It slithers very vigorously across the forest floor clearly showing a bulge in its gullet.
'Got you nOw, now I just have to get away and digest the bastard' if only it were that easy, as our serpentine abomination was abruptly cut in half as a cervid of small stature emerged from its gullet glowing with mana and anger, then all thoughts ceased to exist as the rest of the herd turned its body into ashes.

*Black Blob of Curiosity*
Note to self: even the young ones are very hard to knock out, and the younger they are the more time they need to charge their lasers, adults takes an average of 5 seconds, older and bigger specimens can even go shorter than that, also apparently phasing through the ground with live prey in my gullet takes more mana to maintain.
----------------------------------------
55 cycles after its last attempt our BBC takes on the form of a worm that secretes paralytic poison with its circular maw lined with extremely sharp teeth designed to grind armor and flesh alike, and it lies in wait within a concealed pit trap. Then finally a deer of considerable size have found itself falling 10ft into the narrow pit of death that our discount sarlac pit have constructed.
Paralyzed and with some broken legs surely this is it, this is the moment that our stygian blob can finally get its hands on weaponized lightshow.
'Yes, Yes, YES, YES' I can taste it, the taste of victory, and it have the flavor of venison! Wait is that deer glowing, HAHA[H@>xD😂🤣Hahjaja, can't shoot your lasers now, your struggle is futile and USELESS, USELESS, USELESS!!' were its last thoughts as the glowing buck indeed did not fired its lasers but instead blew itself up turning its armor plating into deadly shrapnel.

So it tried again.
this time as a walking black bush trying to get itself eaten by its mark, only to be incinerated at the 10 meter mark by the herd's watch deers.
and again
as a giant invisible bird of prey only to be taken out of the sky the moment its talons land their mark.
and again
as a hulking behemoth of pure armor that rolls around on the ground like a ball, it worked for a while until one of the armored herbivores started suicide bombing it.
and again
this time as a purely agile feline monstrosity, the herd is hot in pursuit but our bumbling protagonist soon found itself being surrounded. For the herd knows the forest very intimately.
and again
as a rock, a weird black rock that can crawl, with one goal in mind: infiltrate their guts, perhaps it can eat one by shoving itself in one of the many orfices of its prey, at least that was the plan before one of the deers abruptly killed it.
and so it tried for an entire year, observing, trying, and learning. It may be dumb and lacking some very basic pattern recognition when it first started but progress is being made with each false death, with each body incinerated, eviscerated, and biomass loss but never wasted.

*Black Blob of Curiosity*
After many, many failed attempts, this is what I know, first of those laser deers or what I like to call as lazeers, are perhaps some of the few animals in this shit hole that can be considered as the top. After a year or so of observations, I have yet to see any other animal that have successfully hunt one of the bastards, and even then I think hunting one is an act of desperation for starving predators, since each individual deer will act for the collective, they will kill and sacrifice for the herd, that I personally know of, and also they're smart terribly so, it appears they now incinerate anything that is colored black associating the color to me and my constant harassment and attempts. Its quite ironic that I find it easier to hunt predatory beasts than them, I simply have to get eaten and its quite easy to act like a very delicious prey, after that I simply have to eat my way out.
So in summary, they flash and they bang, and the only reason they don't dominate this forest with sheer numbers is due to their propensity to be suicidal in their defense of their herd, but I think I know now how to take one out and get the carcass intact for my collection.
