[Need raises her eyebrows. The dracolith fidgets a little and addresses an itch on its foreleg by raising it and nibbling with its prominent teeth.]
Your 'monsters' are that distinct from humans and animals, eh? No, this one seems more like the monsters I know. Those, there's some differences but we all bleed and die, and some parts of our bodies take longer to break down than others.
[Because monsters in Velgarth are humans or animals or a mixture of both, altered. Some do seem to decay rapidly when killed, she knows. Cold-drake bones in particular become quite fragile within a few weeks, as the rest of the corpse becomes soupy, because they rely so heavily on innate magic to reach their massive sizes. They are still water and carbon.]
Maybe yours are more like demons. Dissolve to nothing, is that it?
[She hates demons but says this quite calmly. A demonlike element does not have to mean like the demons adjacent to Velgarth after all. She'll withhold judgement.]
