The croc nearly took his tail off and snapped its jaws shut on the air as Ultyr spun around. With the girl safe he sprung into action. First several lengths away from her tree then as it chased after him he leaped up onto its strange bumpy back. He tried to take a bite of it behind the eyes but the skin was too tough and it thrashed with as much energy as to destabilize him and he stumbled off it.
He quickly glanced at the girl and saw her urgent look. He barked, "You stay there!" Then he bounced back as the hissing rumbling creature snapped an inch away from his heel.
