Wispy, hot crevice that is surrounding by a bunch of skeletons. A pile of treasure sits in the middle. Hundreds of hungry vultures stare down upon the treasure, eager to devour any adventurer that draws near.

I am a vulture that is familiar with death. I enjoy watching living things take their last breathe. I am a vital part of the ecosystem.
Ach, your legs are very... tickling... ahahaha, stop it! Oh, I'm so sorry! I always forget that I'm so ticklish. Do you forgive me? Oh, well, your venomous bite took down that last adventurer quite nicely, so you're not a bad sort.  Nothing to forgive there, friend! Me, take down the last adventurer? I think you have the wrong idea about me. I am a friendly spider. I always free any flies that get caught in my web. I would never harm a person! Ah, perhaps it was that scorpion over there.  I was, I admit, a bit peckish, so I might have gotten a bit forgetful amid the feasting. Yes, you are probably right. I tried to make friends with that scorpion but he threatened to sting me. It's sad because I was going to give him some of the treasure I've found around here. Well, he looks a bit angry all the time anyways.  I mean, look at him, he's always red in the face! Yes, you are quite right! But dear vulture, do you think you could help me out a bit? Well, it isn't like there's much else to do.  Those gold coins are glinting in my eyes terribly, so a change of pace would be welcome. Oh thank you! Can you help me on to that chair over there? I'm afraid this desert heat has taken all the energy out of me. And I know with your power of flight, it would be easy to lift me. Ok... just... hold still.  I wouldn't want to squish you on accident!  Here we go! Oh it is so nice to meet such a kind soul in such a sad dying place as this. For your kindness you will be included in my fable, I am sure.
