Moon Beast

Naimus narrowed his eyes and looked more closely.

The moonlight seemed like worms, burrowing into their bodies.

Several bound sacrifices writhed wildly with muffled cries, as though trying to shake off the worms that had crawled inside them.

Unfortunately, it was completely useless.

As the worms burrowed in, their bodies rapidly began to swell.

Then they swiftly transformed into enormous creatures.

[They possessed enormous grayish-white, slimy bodies capable of expanding and contracting freely. Their forms—though constantly changing—roughly resembled eyeless toads, with clusters of short, perpetually twitching pink tentacles growing from the front of their indistinct blunt snouts.]
