Snork

You go from a mission past the Red Forest to scientists on Yantar in order to give back the samples that you collected at the request of the same scientists for a modest fee and a couple of artifacts. Tired and shabby, due to the packs of pseudo dogs that you often met along the road and on which you spent almost all your ammunition, you notice a group of bandits standing on the road. Not wanting to say goodbye to your already not very large capital, you annoyedly decide to go around them through the forest. Walking along well-trodden paths, sometimes throwing iron bolts in front of you for confidence, because anomalies are a dime a dozen in the forest. Suddenly, behind you, you hear a strange rustling sound, and then a roar. Turning around, you see a snork that is already preparing to jump in your direction.
