| 10 | * AnimalisticAbomination: Glimpses of the monsters reveal them to be bear/wolf things that started hunting the protagonists after coming across a cave with strange markings in the wilderness. The Native American tribes in the area also have had contact with the things, so they have been around possibly a very long time. |
