#Unfortunately for THIS guy Stoplight's about five times bigger than he used to be

When everything you grab can be torn to pieces, you don't necessarily have to be the smartest creature to be able to get to your target. Stoplight is positively feral, strands of saliva and drool hanging from his gleaming fangs as he rips apart the fence separating him from his prey - a quaking man holding a still-smoking pistol in his hand. One bullet was all he had and all it did was enrage his pursuer, Stoplight now tearing panels of chainlink straight out of concrete. "Bang bad. No like." The Trench snarls while reaching in to pull the now-squealing man from his should-be refuge. Beads of black blood dribble down sharkskin chest, dots of azure light dazzling madly as Stoplight lifts the man straight to his face, briny breath steaming against prey's face even during this warm evening... He's too angry to think about food, memories going back to the first time he saw one of the 'bangsticks' these landwalkers used. It was the first time he'd seen one of his kin killed, and it was almost infuriating how defenceless these creatures were without them, weak. An angry shake causes the man to drop his gun, probably shaking his brain inside his skull too with how much stronger the deep-sea entity is, webbed foot stamping down on the gun hard enough to dent it. Screams cut short as Stoplight squeezes again, the sound of a pleasant c̴r̸a̶c̸k̸ reverberating in the back alleys before all falls silent once again. These creatures are so fragile. It's what they use what makes them dangerous. The Trench is left holding both a corpse and his thoughts, still breathing deeply as his gills fan for additional oxygen. No more enemy but now a meal in his hands, perhaps to stash away in his underwater lair for later when his blood has cooled somewhat. Stoplight thinks about taking a bite now, to test whether the food tastes okay but decides it's probably best to leave now. Where there's one landwalker, others are not far away and they would surely have been drawn to the commotion, no doubt with more of their bangsticks on hand.
