There were at least a dozen Infected in there. But that wasn't what made Mal slam to a halt and stare in abject terror.

The thing that plunged the world into absolute nightmare was the huge creature that rose up before them in the dark. A great and terrible Runner. He was slim but massive. It wore a leather vest from which the tips of hundreds of sharp steel nails jutted out like terrible cactus. Iron bands studded with steel points circled its neck and wrists, and a skullcap of gleaming steel covered its head and tapered down the neck to prevent injury to the brain stem. When it's lips curled back, Mal and Negan could see that someone- some madman- had files its teeth to razor spikes.

Even all that, from its fearsome armament, was not the worst thing about it. It was Mal freezing in terror and who spoke the word that made it all beyond horrifying.

She spoke its name.
