"Gwar. Pitock. Noony noony!" The creature held a bone to Matt's face as it recited jibberish. "Noony. NOONY NOONY!" It became agitated at the lack of reply and hopped up and down. It swung the bone around in the air and hit the dirt at its feet. "Pitock! Noony!" No response. It threw the bone to the ground.

The thing was large, about eight feet tall and covered in fur from head to toe. It was vaguely humanoid, but didn't have a distinct head. It most closely resembled a gigantic furry jellybean with arms and legs sprouting from it. In addition to a pair of black horns that extended upwards three feet out of where you'd expect to see its ears.

It poked at the fire that was burning and wondered to itself why the thing it had caught wasn't responding. It started off making so much noise. Squeaks and whines and grunts and hollers. It was quite interesting and hence worthy of being kept. Naturally, Matt had protested at being captured and tried to fight off the beast, but he was quickly overwhelmed by its brute strength. He was pinned between two large rocks that he was unable to budge. The creature poked and prodded at him for hours until he finally passed out from the strain.

Confused at why the interesting thing had stopped responding, the creature had hit his skull with a rock, shattering it instantly and splattering brain across the large boulders that held Matt prisoner. It poked and prodded him and pulled one of his arms with too much force, yanking it out of its socket. It inspected the arm and peeled back some of the flesh to yield the bone that he then played with for a while.

After getting bored with it, he went back to try and get his captive to play some more. The noises were interesting, and it desired to hear more. But no new noises came. It sat in disgust.

"Thoom." it said as it kicked the dirt. It looked at the bone and reached for it. Turning around, it resumed poking Matt's long lifeless corpse.

"Noony noony!"
