"The cuts in the ground are larger than what should be normal. I would assume from the prints it is a monster four or five times your size in dragon form. It also has larger claws or talons. It might even have spikes, or the ability to make larger earth spikes." Gil was working with all his tracking knowledge.
Everything that he saw said larger monster. He could tell that it had a decent weight to it since it had caused the larger breaking and pressing on the earth around even though it was already fairly dense.
Looking deeper, he was able to spot places that didn't match the same claw marking he could easily find where the footprints were. They appeared to be dragging pointed marks meaning that while whatever fought here spikes, horns, or needles of some sort were scraping the ground.
