Averon should not overestimate his own powers and either underestimate a Crux... Oh boy, no. He quite regrets it after meeting Zaykke the Crux. If you wonder what is happening... Let me tell you:

Averon wondered what was a Crux. He wanted to take the attributes of this specie... Maybe there was some hidden skill? Bad idea... Like I said once... Zaykke dislikes being eaten or attacked... you will regret your act. As Averon got him... Zaykke got to find some liquid nitrogen. Just quite the good thing to give Ave a good cold. Take that, evil slime! Meet your new nightmare
