[ Shadow takes stock of the creature, significantly less impressed by it than he is the giant tree-shrooms and blossoming footprints. But he does know that even unimpressive-looking Torments can potentially pack a wallop; he's been visiting the Dream Sphere a little longer than what he'd told the DU, after all. It isn't necessarily a Torment either - but he's got a suspicion and draws his sword, holding it at the ready.
Neither deterred nor spurred on, it simply waddles closer... closer... and takes a swing at him, he knew it - it's moving slowly enough that Shadow leaps to the side in plenty of time though. As its pudgy mitt-like fist instead knocks a small crater into the ground, Shadow strikes back, sticking it with his sword, but that's not enough to bring it down. Maybe another hit or two...
Then there's rustling from the undergrowth around them. A lot of rustling. ]
