The senator huffs and stands on its hind legs, as if to show off how strong it is.

As the ship grew closer to the island, strangely colored bumps and grooves became more clear. Brightly colored shells littered the location, often clustering together under shaded moist spots. While there were many shells that were only as big as one's hand, there were a few scattered around standing tall at six or even seven feet tall.

As the stairs of the ship drop a mushbird flies down from a tree, landing on the stairs and spreading its wings to block off the guests to the island from leaving. "SQWARK!!! DANGER! DANGER!!!"

The shells vibrate as Buster slithers across the beach.

Many of the shells, activated by Cazkade's movements, dart up. They flop forward at surprising speeds. Howling with toothless mouths full of spit.

But no one would possibly be able to run fast enough to help Cazkade. The creatures would surely melt his flesh.....but there was a quick slash of silver that danced through the air.

.........

And the closest of the creatures was torn in two instantly.

The blort quickly checks around for a large shell.

Thankfully they keep it together.
