Solomon:
Your scanner is able to pick up the movement still, and with some zooming in from your visor, you are able to make out two, mostly black creatures coming out the forest. They seem a bit larger than humans and have a centaur-esque body structure, similar to the Glyra, but you can't quite make out details still.
Anima:
As you approach the edge of the forest, you see two creatures walking out of the forest. They have a scaly, centaur-esque body, similar to the Glyra, that is black with red stripes. They have 4 legs that are all forward facing, making them appear to be good at running at fast speeds in a straight line. They have two arms with four-fingered hands; additionally, on the center of their chest, they have a third arm which is double jointed and ends in a sickle, very similar to a mantis arm. They have a long snout with a very large mouth filled with lots of sharp teeth, implying they are carnivorous. They have only one, forward facing, large, cat-like eye. So far, the creatures have not noticed you and instead seem to be looking around the plain for something.

I relay the information to the group, but otherwise don't do much, not wanting to provoke them or risk detection.

"Resume normal formations, but stay alert," I state, and continue to look around the area.

"Right," I say.
I keep an eye on the river, but also look towards the new creatures.

She sighed and looked into her scope, wondering if something was out of sight because of how far away it was.

Anima, Solomon, and Yumi:
The two creatures from before wander about the plains for a bit as if searching for something. One of the creatures spots Solomon and stares at him for a bit, not making any menacing movements, but instead standing still and staring as if confused or curious. Eventually the other one notices one of the sheep like creatures from before that is wandering about and grazing. The black creature eyes the sheepesque creature for a few seconds while scraping one of its feet along the ground as if preparing to sprint; then it suddenly charges off at the sheepoid with alarming speed. The poor grazing animal has no time to react and finds itself skewered on the end of the larger creatures sickle like arm. The wooly beast lets out a final whimper and then falls limp. At the sound of this, the one staring at Solomon loses its interest and instead joins its comrade to begin eating.
Kristina:
After staring through your scope for a bit, you think you see something coming from out of the darkness. The lighting is poor and you can only make out the silhouette of a tall, quadrupedal creature with the majority of its body seemingly covered in thin... tentacles... The creature appears to be running from some sort of light source behind it which seems to be getting closer and closer.

I do as instructed and get closer to the beast. I try to avoid getting landlocked if at all possible, since it seemed that flight was the most effective way to approach.
"Umm... say... I'm not too moe to be cheaking this thing out right? Things with tentacle tend to love their moe girls..." I say, half concerned, half joking.

"If it tries to pull something like that, I'll come and rescue you," I say to Anima. "How does that sound?"

Kristina and Anima:
As the creature continues moving into the light and as Anima gets closer to it, you are able to make it out more clearly. The creature is quite tall, approximately 8 feet tall, with a body covered in dull, green scales. Its main torso is roughly the shape of a bowling pin with a single, forward-facing eye positioned near the top. Its body is covered in symmetrical arrays of tentacles, forming hexagonal arrangements around the creatures body. At the base of its body is a large, gaping, circular maw filled with spikes along with 4 triple jointed legs with feet involving 3 triangular protrusions from a circular base with suction cups on the bottom of them. The creature's tentacles are relatively short, thin, and whip like. The creature is squinting and blinking fervently as it tries to adjust to the light while it runs away at a speed almost too slow to consider running. After taking note of the first creature's features, you can both see the other creature pursuing it, which is quite easily described as a terrestrial version of an Angler fish.

"Oh god... Any thicker on the tentacles and it would be perfect for trying to attack me... Are we playing by the rules that tentacle monsters get +4 racial bonus to moeness?" I say.

"I'd only play by +2 racial bonus," I respond. "And that's on a good day. And by the way...how hard do you think it would be to take one of those down?"
