Moss beast

Appearance: A shadowy creature that blends into its environment, ready to leap onto unsuspecting prey, typically found in dark moist caves or forest terrain.
It's fur is either greyish black or brown with patches of moss and fungel growth, it has jagged teeth wich often break and a breath that reeks of compost, rot and earth. The eyes reflect light incredibly well and seem to burn with fire if one were to wield a torch within its domain, that is, once they open them to pounce..
