Aldrich was careful only to let the beam hit the lizard's head as he wanted to preserve its body

The lizard ed to let out one confused shriek before its head turned solid white before breaking apart into a pile of ash The creature slumped over, dead, its neck stub utterly cauterized so that not even blood pooled out

"Looks like Alter powers, or at the least this one, can't defend against instant death Good to know" Aldrich walked over to the lizard's headless corpse and waited to see whether a soul appeared

None

Secondly, it could fire highly acidic blood streah that if it hit an averagebut a gooey puddle within a second

Third, it possessed a heightened forets with extre in across a distance of one mile (16 km)
