 Story: 

The antagonist was originally a villager before he died and became a wandering spirit. He wasn’t very social and spent most of his time taking care of the village’s livestock. When some of the villagers around his age asked him out for a stroll in the woods, he was overjoyed and couldn’t wait to go. And so they went for a walk in the woods, talked some, gathered some herbs and looked at the scenery. When they wanted to go back to their village something awful happened and he got separated from the group. He called out for them, but nobody answered.
The longer he walked, the more ideas began to haunt him; what if they only pretended to like him, what if they left him there on purpose,  what if they set this up to get rid of him? He was unable to locate the forest path, and went deeper and deeper into the forest. With each step he took those feelings started to cloud his mind, how could they? What did he ever do to them? He walked and walked, days passed until he eventually died of starvation. He couldn’t rest though, and became a wanderer. Everything the black substance on his body touched was added to his body. As he grew in size, he also grew in anger, until he completely lost his sense of reason. Driven by his rage he grew more and more, until he could barely stick his ‘head’ over some of the treetops. His eyesight is pretty poor, therefore he basically sees with his sense of smell. No longer obstructed by the smells of the forest, he started moving towards the village, rapidly expanding along the way.

The protagonist is a shaman in training. Shamans are essential for the land’s safety, but the villagers prefer to stay away from them because they’re ‘strange’, ‘evil’ and have ‘creepy powers’. The shamans bear the burden of keeping the lands safe from evil, human or animal, dead or alive. They’re trained in physical combat as well as in spiritual ways. Shaman have the ability to use spirits, by either taking command of them, working with them, or becoming one with them to overcome difficulties. One day she got the assignment to patrol the forest and gather some supplies while doing so. When she was on her way back she heard strange sounds coming from the village’s direction. She climbed up a tree and saw the giant black abomination closing in on the village. Without hesitation she called her bird spirit and rushed over there to find out what it is, and stop it.

 About the fight: The antagonist is big, slow, dumb, strong and easily agitated. He attacks by extending the black substance that now makes up most of his body and it as a weapon. He has poor eyesight from growing so fast, so he sees with his sense of smell. The rapid mutation causes his body to form big blisters, destroying them releases a horrible smell. Since the boss sees with his sense of smell, he is temporally blinded and rampages around aimlessly. While blinded, his ‘heart’ is vulnerable, and you can hit it (if you don’t get hit by him that is). When it’s hit, a small part of his body will fall off and the boss will become faster, this happens with each hit. He will, however, regain his eyesight after a certain amount of hits making him fast and deadly (the smell from destroying blisters won’t blind him anymore). In this stage he will occasionally form giant black blisters made of his skin-substance. When you hit these, you hit his nerve tissue making the spikes around his 'heart' open so you can hit them. Do this about 3 times and he’s back to his original form.        


old story:
krachten: schreeuwen/gillen ( geluid ) Klauwen, tanden etc. 
zwaktes: sterke sense of smell en blaren op zijn lijf ( van het zo snel groeien).

de geest die de hond overneemt is boos omdat zijn vrienden hem verlaten hebben, hierdoor is hij eenzaam en verbitterd en verspreidt dood en verderf door het bos door in mensen hun grootste angst te veranderen ( in dit geval dus in de hond die dood is en onder de beestjes zit). Zijn vrienden zijn echter verhuist naar een ander land. Hij is onder de impressie dat ze hem verlaten hebben

verhaal:

character is één van de beschermers van haar dorp. ze werd op de terugweg naar haar kamp achternagezeten, terwijl ze probeerde te ontkomen viel ze van een klif af samen met haar hond. Toen ze weer bijkwam zag ze een bloedplas op de plek waar haar hond lag. Toen ze hem ging zoeken kwam ze terecht op een open plek in het bos waar je de eindbaas bevecht.

Ze ziet het lichaam van haar hond liggen, maar als ze dichterbij komt schiet hij overeind en schiet er een krioelende schaduw uit die heel groot wordt en zo veranderd hij in de eindbaas. Elke keer als je hem raakt wordt hij kleiner. je verslaat hem door de grote blaren op zijn lijf kapot te slaan, waardoor een vreselijke stank vrijkomt waardoor de boss gestunned is, zodat je hem kan raken. 

de boss is niet echt herkenbaar meer als een hond. hij is een soort gory monster die onder de beestjes zit. Als die verslagen is komt de geest eruit en biecht zijn gevoelens op. Mara besluit dan om de bosgeest ( die Zaro heet) niet te vernietigen ( ze begrijpt hem wel) en geeft haar hond ( die nu ook een geest is) de opdracht om hem mee te nemen om zijn vrienden op te zoeken. Door dit alles heeft ze besloten om aardiger te durven zijn tegen anderen en anderen leren te accepteren.

zoals je kunt zien in mijn stijl reference vind ik vooral grote  zwarte slagschaduwen en aparte kleuren interessant.
