The bolt's shaft gleams with etched runes of fang and claw, feathers tipped in crimson barbs that quiver like sensing whiskers. Its iron head, forged in the blood of slain alphas, pulses with a feral heat, veins of enchanted silver threading through to pierce hide and bone. Released from the bow, it streaks like a predator's lunge, shredding fur and sinew in a spray of vital ichor.
