These creatures, mostly Hunters, moved with a frenetic energy, hopping and running on all fours, their movements erratic and unpredictable.

"Danger close approved, send the missiles," Graves confirmed, positioning himself strategically behind a large fallen tree trunk for cover. However, this was pure instinct as he wouldn't need to hide behind the trunk for cover if he could take a direct hit of a missile.
