Nu-reeh explained how it would sting and paralyze me. It had razor sharp pincers it would use to take me apart and store for later.

“You can kill one like I just did with your claws,” she said. “If you don’t have claws a large stick will suffice, the men kill them with their swords. You must anticipate where the creature will jump. If you can destroy the eyes on the front, you will easily kill it after that.”

Nu-reeh demonstrated with a large stick how to jab out the eyes.

“They often attack in packs of two or three,” she continued to explain.
