'The fangs and claws of D'ivers and Soletaken bred a singularly virulent sickness, often culminating in hallucinations, bestial madness, then death. For many who survived, the madness remained, reappearing on a regular basis for one or two nights nine or ten times each year. It was a madness often chracterized by murder.' - (DG, UK MMPB, p.146)

'a sudden sleet of ice-cold water from above, the savage opening of a warren. Emerging from within that hovering, strangely suspended spray...the enormous head and maw of a dhenrabi lunged into view, wreathed in uprooted sea grasses, kelp and strange, skeletal branches...Three more dhenrabi appeared from that torrential portal. The roiling spume of water seemed to burn off wherever it descended...yet the creatures remained suspended, riding the hissing maelstrom.' - (DG, UK MMPB, p.781)

 
'A swarm like no other. Bloodflies, in a solid black cloud the size of a thunderhead, billowing, surging...' - (DG, UK MMPB, p.782)
