Erik Andersen truged through the island in a determanation only a crazy man in an excitement induced fevor could. He was hot on the trail of a new species, a 7 foot tall wolf shaped creature with scales instead of fur... and it could shoot fire from it's mouth!
He was so having a coat made of it's scaly hide.
He finally caught up to it in a clearing up ahead, it was drinking from the pond by the edge.

"Hey! Come fight me like a monster!" Erik called, he couldn't in good consious just sneak up on something and kill it without a proper and fair fight.
It didn't even growl, it just turned around and charged towards him. Erik admits he was a bit suprised with it's abrutness.
He rolled under it and slashed it across the throat as it went over him, while it didn't kill it, the beast was bleeeding and in pain.
The best made an even wilder charge for him this time, Erik jumped into the side of it's leg, snapping it from bending in a way it's legs simply weren't meant suppoed to..
