ROCK
After many grueling battles, at last Rock overtook Lizardman.
The creature had messed with the wrong man when he'd kidnapped Bangoo, his young charge. The boy was all the family he had left, and nothing would stop him from getting him back.
Yes, that was Rock's overriding motivation. But a secondary motive had emerged on the journey.
At every step of his trip, Rock had been assailed by all manner of creatures. Monsters the like of which he'd never known seemed to flood from the woodworks at him. They'd barely slowed him down. A path of carcasses marked his path to Lizardman's lair. He'd taken no token from any of them. None was suitable.
But now, facing the crested Lizardman, Rock knew he'd found a prize worth winning, greater than the bison head he wore now. Yes, Rock figured Lizardman would make a right nice helmet.
"Lizardman!" Rock bellowed. "I WILL WEAR YOUR HEAD!! BANGOOOOO!" he added purely in afterthought.
(Author's Note: The shortest fic, but one of my favorites.)
