"Good morning," the Thing in the Well calls, "And how are we doing this morning Mrs. Westmen?" -- "Just wonderfully. How have you been keeping, Thing?" -- "Fine, fine. A little peckish, a bit in the mood for, you know, a nibble, a bite to eat. But don't worry yourself, perfectly fine." -- "It's quite alright Thing, I was just thinking I should bring by some lunch. How does a ham sound?" -- "You are too kind Mrs. Westmen, just too kind..." -- The Thing in the Well has lived in the village for longer than anyone can remember. It is traditional to fix regular meals for the Thing, and to present it with a sheep or pig on special occasions. Years ago a boy went down the well on a dare. He never returned. The subject has not been broached in the presence of the Thing. Instinct: To devour

Now animated by malevolent magic, and exhaling super-heated water vapour that can boil real soldiers inside their armour. Somebody's given it real wings, too. That can't be... human leather they're made from, right? Sometimes, when it moves, strange, otherworldly voices can be heard whispering, from within it - a testament, no doubt, to its true masters. Instinct: to burn and melt

• Exhale superheated steam
