In the depths of the jungle lives a Devil Bird of the night whose cry was said to be the last sound you'd ever hear.

Among the countless tales whispered by the locals, one stood out: a creature with oddly colored dusk-like skin, known to emerge only with the monsoon rains and vanish as swiftly as it appeared, leaving behind nothing but stories passed down through generations.
