Dragon vs Melanthios

They had lost their maim though so far they had been doing well in the senior division. Melanthios wasn’t sure whom their next opponent would be, nor what odd coydog would be the one to be the judge of the match. They didn’t have long to wait for answers either.

The red beast entered the ring and faced off against their opponent, curious of the armor he wore since it covered his eyes. They took note of the companions at his side too… interesting. Perhaps they’d have to look into getting armor as well, or at least some type of weapon, for battle. Though their collar was something that beast had often considered a worthy accessory… it protected their throat if nothing else.

“Melanthios Kedieo. To you as well.”

Then they set their defenses and prepared for the battle to ensue. The male was smaller than they were but that did not mean a guaranteed victory.

Their opponents barreled towards them, head on it seemed, but Melanthios knew better than to trust that. They waited, trusting instinct and reaction to reduce damage and hopefully give some of their own. Melanthios let out a guttural growl as Dragon fainted left and then right. They had followed his initial movement to his left with a right sidestep with the desire of letting the smaller creature smash into their body.

The result was Dragon pulling up alongside them as the edge of his shoulder scrapped along the blade of their own. Mild bruising was going to be the result of that, maybe a touch sore later, but nothing Mela couldn’t handle. Melanthios shifted, throwing their weight into their hind legs as they attempted to rear skywards. They weren’t concerned with the chance Dragon and his companions might be able to topple them as they attempted to throw the upper half of their body to their left over Dragon’s left side. The brown male’s teeth snapped at their fur, missing flesh by a mere second.

Melanthios sought to bring Dragon’s back end down with their weight, hopefully bringing him off balance while avoiding his armored front and top. They were aware of one of the companion’s claws slashing their belly behind their foreleg, drawing blood, but their opponent was the wolf… and that was what they would focus on.

At the same time, just to add a little more oomph to their attack Melanthios attempt to send their jaws downward, towards the base of Dragon’s tail, and give it a sharp bite. While they were not seeking a hold it would be enough to cause a bit of damage were they successful in their endeavor with upper jaw on the outside {right side of Dragon} and lower jaw on the inside {left side of Dragon} of their opponent’s tail.
