Wuftoom
“A low growl spread through the room, growing until it filled the cave. Then the creatures were surrounding him, clapping him on the back with their nub arms, smiling at him and showing their fangs of different lengths.
“Enough!” called Rayden, who was standing behind Evan. Though all the Wuftoom looked almost exactly alike, Evan was starting to see what might differentiate one from another. Rayden was both shorter and broader. His large fangs were coupled with thick arms. The membranes were tig...ht around his body, while some of the others’ membranes were loose and hung off them like they were a few sizes too big.
Evan’s own membranes were somewhere in between. Slightly loose, but not quite saggy. The baggy ones gave the impression of age.
“This is a great day for the Wuftoom! We shall welcome the new one as befits our splendid race!” cried Rayden.
Another growl came up from the crowd, this one louder than the first. Without apparent direction from anyone, the Wuftoom cleared out the center of the cave.MoreLess
