Poropo was not happy with this event, but in order to participate he needed to do some hunting of his own - the only way to stop the slaughter of dinosaurs would be to bring the correct dinosaur. Unfortunately, the guildmaster of Empyrean Divine did not mention what the dinosaur was - everyone had to guess and bring something back. The frustrated monk continued mumbling to himself about this awful situation, "she likely will choose the prettiest dinosaur rather than having a dinosaur in mind - a cunning woman who uses a fun event as a means to gain trophies for herself." The skeptical monk did not know the true intentions of this hunting event, but killing creatures is something the peaceful monk wishes to stop as quickly as possible.
Poropo Avoiding Perforation [ESG - Hunting Dinos]

Poropo was becoming too exhausted to keep going so he stopped tiny clearing in the middle of a temperate forest. The season was summer so this forest was quite warm - the rotund monk wearing plate armor could barely move an centimeter once he lost all his momentum, "huff...where...puff...is this...blessed...dino...saur...I need to stop...this...awful event..." The monk became too tired to even stay conscious - losing his breath, Poropo collapsed into a deep sleep in the middle of a warm forest, alone.

"Meep," heard Poropo while trying to wake himself from his deep nap - the sound was animal-like, rather cute in the honest monk's humble opinion. However, the source of the change in temperature and the sound were the same - a stark pink dinosaur standing on top of the monk's rotund belly!
"Buaaaaah!?" the monk fumbled around in shock upon seeing this strange creature - there were times the monk would wake up in a cold sweat but still feel as though he was dreaming, unable to move his body but seeing demons and impure entities weighing him down! Thankfully the monk was able to jump up and move while the little, pink creature fell off with another squeak.
"Meeeep!" squeaked the little dinosaur no large than a foot tall - the creature was rotund like Poropo and had stubby arms and legs. The most astounding features included pink feathers, pink scales, and a large spike jutting out of the stomach.

The staring contest lasted for several minutes as the pair could not take their eyes off each other - despite sizing each other up, neither wanted to make the first move. Poropo was fearful of the large spike jutting out of the stomach of the pink dinosaur while the dinosaur was scared of Poropo's relatively large size - they each had reason to fear one another despite their frail bodies.
The monk decided he could make the first move - this creature looked perfect for the hunting competition! The pink feathers of the dinosaur had specs of blue similar in color to the guild Empyrean Divine - perhaps this creature would please the guild's master. Poropo carefully began moving forward in an attempt to begin friendly relations with the creature - the hope was to befriend this dinosaur before resorting to force.

"EEEEP!" shouted the monk as he quickly clasped his hands to form the spell Steel Body around himself in defense - the teeth of the Terrorsaurus clashed against the condensed light surrounding Poropo's body. However, the Terrorsaurus had a solid grasp on the helpless monk and lifted the poor Poropo off the ground. The monk did not know what to do aside from keep his hands clasped and pray to the Iron Deity, "Oh Iron Deity! Save me! Save meeeeeee!"
The Terrorsaurus wanted to silence the monk and swung its head, releasing the monk in the process - the frail monk covered in chrome sailed through the forest, past the waddling pink dinosaur, and against a large tree. With a thud, the monk slid down the tree in pain and agony but unscathed otherwise.

"So loud...it is coming for me...I see my death now...perforated by teeth the size of my gut..." mumbled the monk to himself as he stared in shock and awe of the Terrorsaurus thunderous stomping through the underbrush of the forest - the enormous dinosaur did not have a meal thanks to the monk's magic so the creature was still hungry for Poropo's flesh.
"Meep!" squeaked the pink dinosaur in front of Poropo - the little creature came back for some reason, now standing between the monk and the Terrorsaurus. The monk did not care what happened next - the pink dinosaur would be eaten first and then the monk would be last. The candy-like snack stood in front of the Terrorsaurus with the gut-spike jutting out towards the terrifying lizard.

The Terrorsaurus was silently staring down the pink dinosaur - Poropo thought the little creature would be swept aside, turned to mulch, or swallowed whole by now, but the Terrorsaurus was hesitating. The monk thought for a moment why hesitation would occur for such a large behemoth and looked down at the bright pink dinosaur. "Pink...bright color...poisonous?" mumbled Poropo to himself as he witnessed a miracle unfold - the Terrorsaurus lost interest in Poropo and the pink dinosaur and started stomping away in disgust.
The monk stumbled to his feet while the pink dinosaur fainted - the little creature was either exhausted from having run away earlier or from intimidating a Terrorsaurus. Both were good reasons for needing a rest - the monk thought about what might happen to the little dinosaur if the monk brought the pink creature to the guildmaster of Empyrean Divine, "would she eat it? Does she know it might be poisonous? Would she skin and stuff it? Keep it as a pet?"
The monk wanted to hunting competition to stop as soon as possible with as little unnatural death to occur, but having witnessed the terror of the Terrorsaurus - the monk was feeling as though a tiny hunting event might not be so bad after all.

"Maybe there are too many dinosaurs? This competition is specifically about dinosaurs after all - perhaps they lower the diversity in the area or cause too much destruction like the Terrorsaurus? Much to think about," said the monk to himself as he waddled with the unnamed, pink dinosaur. Speaking of the unnamed, little creature sleeping soundly within Poropo's arms - the monk did not know the name of this thing unlike the Terrorsaurus who's name was well known within the country of Stella. The monk not only contemplated the destiny of the pink dinosaur but also the pink thing's name.

The monk was attempting to justify hunting for sport within this large country filled almost entirely with forests of varying kind - hunting is necessary for the survival of a creature, but hunting for sport is not necessary. The peace-loving monk felt a little pit in his stomach just thinking about how senseless hunting for sport really is - killing a creature for food is justifiable under the teaching of the Iron Deity but killing for sport is not. The monk was beginning to dislike this competition again.

Poropo walked up to the judging area and presented the pink dinosaur which he dubbed, "the Sugmasaurus Flex! Here it is! Is this the dinosaur you were looking for?" The sleeping Sugmasuarus Flex woke up at the commotion and looked around, confused. The pink dinosaur had not been around many people before so this new feeling required some processing - this processing was in the form of holding its large gut and pointing the spike at whomever was closest at any given time, as a means of self defense.
"Meep! Meep! MEEP!" squeaked the Sugmasaurus Flex, pointing the spike over and over in an attempt to people at a distance. The little dinosaur was less than a foot tall - the threats were cute, at best.
