Lucius braces a hand against the door as the carriage he is half inside of shudders at the detachment of its twin, shooting a look of mute complaint towards Erik but knowing better to put his voice to it. There are other things to fuss about. He looks towards Tadhg at that announcement, considering it, and deciding that he has, at least, chosen the correct carriage.

"Then be sure to kill it should it decide to make its acquaintance."

The instruction primly delivered, Lucius disappears inside shadowy carriage, the light from his wand throwing up illumination and shadows in kind over where intact windows are spider-cracked through or entirely empty, glass littered in pieces inside and out. From where the other two are standing, they can see it is mostly empty, but closer inspection shows blood stains and former carnage, and the smell of old death. These are things Lucius can ignore. What he can't ignore is the strange shape taken roost further along.

And because things just work like that, taking cues, there's a crack of window glass-- not from the carriage Malfoy is exploring, but from the second. The thing that comes out of it does not emerge all the way - it's a greyish-green appendage, almost finger-like in that it has knuckle-ish joints and a horned claw at the end, coming to bend over the edge of the window. A second identical appendage joins it.

Out into the swirling mist it heaves itself, revealing itself to be a collection of five of these over-sized digits in a kind of oversized, crab-walking starfish, bigger than a Doberman and judging by the window it just came out of, stronger than one too. No mouth in view, but two bulbous, unblinking black eyes rest in meaty centre of its five limbs.
