Superior to Monkeys

Scree!

The creature sported a hardened shell, spanning a metre in size. The reason it was scary was that it was a scorpion, one that had evolved to possess potent poison while sporting incredible agility.

Its toxin had developed to the extent that even its blood alone was dangerous, not to mention the toxin stored in its stinger. And, its most notable trait was a mildly glowing horn on its forehead.

Thankfully, its defence wasn't all that spectacular, being injured by the stalactite Compass Carburettor had thrown at it.

Upon seeing the success of his throw, Compass Carburettor leapt, landing a kick on another stalactite to break it into two, hurriedly throwing it towards Neena, "Here! Hold this to defend yourself!"

"…T-Thanks!" Neena was pleasantly surprised at his choice of action to help her even in such a life-threatening situation. Her heart began to accelerate, for a moment his face—expression—stitched deep in her eyes.
