n the deepest depths of the Hidden Kingdom, beyond the castle of King Verminakus, is a stretch of forest. Beyond the forest, a river winds through a range of hills, passing through a spectacular waterfall. Unfortunately, as lovely as the scenery is, these woods are inhabited by savage, vicious animals of an unusually intelligent and bloodthirsty nature. King Verminakus occasionally sends his guards out into the depths of the wilderness to keep the vicious creatures at bay, but often the guards do not return unhurt, if at all.
