It was as large as a pig, and its eight thick hairy legs drove its ogreish body over the floor at headlong pace ; its four evilly gleaming eyes shone with a horrible intelligence, and its fangs dripped venom that Conan knew, from the burning of his shoulder where only a few drops had splashed as the thing struck and missed, was laden with swift death. »
