A dense jungle full of surprises and new places to explore! Scientists are still trying to document species found here, while travelers flock here for a sense of adventure. Be sure to make lots of preparations though, as it can be quite dangerous! (+3 Precision, +2 Offense)

Balikrag shook his head, heavy under the weight of his massive, silver horns, flicking lukewarm water. Under the oppressive heat of the jungle, his ice-caked fur melted free. He looked uncomfortably damp, yet seemed quite fine - well, as fine as he could seem. His villainous face tended to look naturally furious.

Beady red eyes scanned the immediate area. A rumble came forth from deep within his chest, keeping all that evaded his notice tucked within their hiding places.

My wraiths, though not wraiths then, wandered deep into the heart of the polar storm. They tried to fight sleep, naive to the inevitability of their fate. When they awoke, they saw before them my own self, so much a part of the ice and cold they almost fail to see me. I wear a crown of the coldest, sturdiest ice, and my claws and fur have coated themselves in it.
I stand aloof to the cold, for I have lived in it so long, been a part of it so long, it no longer concerns me.

My wraiths are cursed to wander the polar tundra, eternally freezing, following mortal explorers and trying to warn them with their presence that they should not travel onward, should not make the same mistake. But there will always be those who persist in pressing on, never knowing what they are doomed to face, or destined to suffer.

Nothing stirred, seemingly holding its breath and waiting for the great panzer to pass by. Balikrag felt safe to lumber forward, his great paws so heavy upon the ground they made tree roots groan and strain.

A feline moan echoed from deeper into the jungle, and far above his head. He was too heavy to climb the trees, so he kept to the darkness of the understory.

This great cat, however, was limber, and possibly much smaller. A jaguar? Balikrag's ears were pricked, and his beady red eyes fixated onto the mess of leaves and branches above him. He was curious to see such a rare, exotic creature. He was tempted to roar back, like a game of marco polo - but feared he might frighten the jaguar away, so kept silent.

His tense, pricked ears rewarded him. Another roar echoed throughout the trees, this time closer. The cat, whatever kind it may be, wasn't just making the rounds of its territory; it was crisscrossing multiple territories seeking a mate. Balikrag mentally praised himself for making the wise decision to not roar back - it would have sought him out and attacked him.

He decided to press on, leaving the cat behind. He would've loved to see the jungle feline, but getting attacked by said feline was not on his wishlist. That, or worse - being forced to hurt her to defend himself. They were an endangered species, and he would be crushed knowing he hindered its recovery rather than helped.
