- ↑ Behind him, Beast of Burden was arriving with reinforcements. The leader of the violent clique. No blood, no barbs or spikes, but the armor he wore was steel, and it looked like slabs had been cut off of tank armor. Helmet blended into body armor, so broad and heavy it didn’t leave a hint of a neck. The helmet had bull’s horns longer and thicker around than my leg and only slits for eyeholes. The chest armor was a slab shaped roughly like chest armor, and similar measures had been taken for the metal segments that encircled parts of his arms and legs. Cleat was with him, and Cleat was spiky in a way I’d anticipated Beast of Burden being.
Beast of Burden, ‘Bob’, was quick for a guy wearing armor as heavy as his. - Shadow 5.4 - ↑ “Moose,” Prancer tried again.
Moose frowned, glancing back at the stairs. “Yeah?”
“Look at the room. Tell me, who do you know here?”
“Some of the big guys. Biter, you and I had drinks with him. Etna, Crested, Beast of Burden, Bitter Pill, Nailbiter, Hookline, Kitchen Sink.”
“Do me a favor?”
“Sure.”
