The door in front of them suddenly opens, sliding to the side. The sphere yanks them into the room and the door slams behind them again. Then the metallic sphere and the chains and shackles melt like water into the floor. If they need to be restrained and/or moved somewhere in the future, another magical sphere will appear in the room and chain them, but for now their hands are free.
They'll need them to be free because they are about to deal with a handful.
The room is mostly dark. It looks like some of the light panels were smashed. The lights that work are the ones closest to the door. The back of the room is mostly in shadow. While the room's been cleaned at this point, there are still a few small splatters on the walls of brown and green blood spots that were missed.
The second the door slams, it's immediately clear that the darkness is not empty. There's a surprised noise, something between a gasp and a hiss. Then eyes pop open in the dark. They're clearly not human because normal humans don't have eyeshine.
on the other hand, animals with eyeshine tend to be animals whose eyes stay closer to the ground. These eyes rise to a little over four feet tall. There's a hint of fur and pointy ears, then bared, pointy teeth flash in the half-light. Their cellmate hisses like an angry cat.
There's no more warning. The shape pounces out of the dark. Hellboy is right that their cellmate isn't that tall. But he's very fast, very ferocious, and very bitey. And capable of more than just using his teeth and claws. Just because he's trying to scratch and bite doesn't mean he's neglecting trying to punch and jab at pressure points.
His scream is strange, falling in a place somewhere between the yowl of an attacking mountain lion and something far more humanish.
His clothes have some wear and tear and are spattered with blood. Like the guards said, this isn't the first fight he's been in.
