With a snarl, Steeltalon burst from her hiding spot, running as fast as she could towards the injured Galli.The healthy adults let out cries of alarm and were soon sprinting away, faster than the raptor's own legs could carry her. But the injured herbivore was left straggling, and it wouldn't take long to catch up to it at this pace. Skidding slightly, Steeltalon followed it as it began to dart left and right, trying to confuse and lose her - or tire her out. Letting out a screech, she stretched her neck forward, jaws open, and clamped down on its tail. She jerked her head towards its lame side, trying to unbalance it. She heard its cry of pain and fear, saw it begin to lose its balance, saw its bad leg begin to give out. She let go just as it fell, hearing the crack of bone breaking beneath the heavy thud. The half-mutant skidded to a halt beside the fallen, moaning herbivore, looking down at it for a moment before suddenly lunging down to bite into its throat. It let out a gurgling shriek that was abruptly cut off as she clenched her jaw muscles. Warm blood flowed from its neck around her lips and gums and she swallowed unconsciously. Delicious. Steeltalon settled into a half-crouch, waiting for her catch's struggles to fade.
