After the unfortunate reptilian native was swallowed, a sickening gulp echoed through the cavern.
...followed by the grotesque squelch of moving intestines!
The swallowed lizardman was still screaming in terror from inside the beast's stomach! The cries, muffled by the thick layer of flesh, sounded deep and distorted.
Using their night-vision optics, the Marines finally got a clear look at the enormous creature. Their hearts pounded, and a wave of nausea hit them. Everyone instinctively took a few steps back. They had never seen such a grotesque subterranean monster; it was like a nightmare straight out of a horror movie.
It was a repulsive worm, as thick as an industrial water tank and a full five meters long!
