What's This!? What's This!?

The ghoulish bear advanced on them, snarling and roaring at the two crimson wolves. Ignis was ready to fight, the pair mirroring each other's stance. The pair were almost like twins, barring the horns his daughter had. Hackles rose along his spine, his own bunny-like tail stuck out as much as was able while his lips peeled back to bare his fangs. He waited for the bear's next move, watching to see which of the two it would choose to attack. He was sure Celosia was capable of handling herself. Was sure that the rest of his children were capable of handling themselves all just fine...but his protective instincts would kick in, especially in a situation against the unknown. He wasn't about to risk losing one of his children to a predator...Celosia was his only daughter. She was important to him. There was no way in hell he was going to let some weird mutant bear take her from him. Not tonight.

The bear roared and charged towards them, though he realized that its main target was his smaller daughter. It struck out with a paw that Celosia managed to avoid, but she soon dove towards the bear's side and caused the bear to turn its attention to her. With a snarl, Ignis pulled himself out of the mild stupor he'd been in after seeing such a strange thing and leaped into action.

While Celosia distracted the bear and tore its focus from him, the larger male aimed to grab its left hind leg in his teeth. He wasn't sure if this creature had poisonous blood or if there was something about it that could harm him, but he didn't exactly stop to think about any of that. He just wanted to make sure it wouldn't be able to get to his daughter, consequences to himself be damned! Teeth punctured flesh, the pungent taste of bear blood on his tongue as he used his bulk and size to drag the bear's leg out from under it while vigorously shaking his head. He could hear the roars of pain coming from the beast as it attempted to turn on him, but Ignis moved with the bear and so far, managed to largely avoid its claws as it tried to reach him.

As the bear tried to drag him, Ignis would dig his paws into the ground in an effort to keep the bear locked in place. Though he didn't expect the bear to kick him in the face with his other foot, sending the crimson male to buckle to the ground for a moment from the pain. His forehead bled from where the bears claws had caught him, but Ignis wasn't ready to back down. The bear started to advance on him now, limping towards him after the damage Ig had already done. At least the focus was on him now instead of his daughter...she was fast enough to hopefully get in and out without getting hurt...Tonight, it was them or the bear.
