Cadaver's heart pounded in his chest as he joined the fray, the adrenaline coursing through his veins as he confronted the massive hippo. He could see Barghest, Bowen, and Nimue all engaging the creature, their determination evident in their every move. The hippo was formidable, its thick hide proving difficult to penetrate, but Cadaver was undeterred. With a fierce growl, Cadaver lunged at the hippo's flank, his sharp teeth sinking into its tough skin. He could taste the metallic tang of blood as he tore at the creature's flesh, aiming to distract and disorient it. The hippo bellowed in pain and rage, its massive body thrashing as it tried to shake off its attackers.
