Walking Tall

A string of others had joined him soon enough. And he recognized all of them save for two whom he had not met before. The smelly, skeletal marked girl he had come to know as Medusa was the first two join, followed by two stranger she-wolves, and of course, who else but Corbie? Followed by the blue boy he remembered as Mitros. How could he forget him when Medusa's friend had nearly torn him a new one for insulting Medusa? Medusa spoke up about the beast's odd neck, which he had to admit was a rather strange thing to see. He then nodded to the horned woman. They would need all the teeth they could get to bring this creature down, so he would not turn away anyone who wanted to help.

"Was an elephant hunt not enough excitement for you two? And who are your friends?" He chuckled a bit at Corbie's words, "There's never enough excitement in my life," He joked before glancing at the two strangers that were there. "Today's new helpers," He replied, "Ignis, Medusa, Corbie, Mitros." He added as he pointed with his muzzle to each one as he said names, just in case pleasantries were in order for them.

He turned his attention back to the...giraffe, as he learned. He had been studying it for a little while now, and it appeared to be alone. Though he had no idea if they naturally herd animals or not, he assumed if there were any others around, he would've been able to see them all things considered. "It should be easier to take down as opposed to an elephant. The only thing we may need to be careful about are those hooves...and possibly those things on its head. I figure if we can surround it and get in close, we should be able to avoid those long legs of his." It didn't look as flexible as a horse might be...judging from the way it walked and the way it had to spread its legs when it brought that head towards the ground, should be simple, right? "Whatever you do, stay out of the way when those legs kick back. They look like they could hurt...or worse."

He got up, but before he started moving, he quickly assigned everyone their spot. "You two, distract it from the front," He pointed to Medusa and Ara. "You and Corbie can take the sides, possibly even underneath if you get a chance," Shouldn't be hard for Corbie and Edelweiss to reach the belly if they got a shot, right? "Mitros and I will harass it from the back. Remember, either stick close to the legs or take them out if you can. It can't kick or run if it's got us hanging onto it."

With that, he left the cover and made his way towards the back of the giraffe. With the two larger wolves keeping tabs on its hind legs, everyone else should be safe enough to wear it down. When he got close, he lunged in and snapped his teeth at the left hind leg, causing the giraffe to kick with the other one, but the wolves were more nimble and it had gone over Ignis' body as he twisted out of the way.
