When the Monster arrive to stop the slaughter, they find a nightmare of moss and teeth that reacts to the very scent of fear. In a world of fire and oil, the Council must prove to this ancient guardian that they aren't just more "fire-men" coming to despoil his home. The water is rising. The forest is screaming.

Have you ever heard of the Dark Universe? The failed attempt by Universal to reboot all their classic monster by being an MCU ripoff. Well, I love Universal's Classic Monsters, and I hate all the missed potential from the Dark Universe and now seek to make my own. Will it be good? probably not, but hey, what's all in good fun. Don't expect the stories you know, I seek to take their characters and make my own (semi) original takes and ideas.
