I really want to retell this one from the perspective of one of the hunters who saw the beast fall onto Papik. I really love monsters and curses in myths and folklore, so this is definitely down my alley. I might expand more on a single hunter and make up some kind of backstory about how he knew papik and the curse his mother in law placed on him.

Hi Collin, this looks like a great story for retelling. I to love stories involving mythological monster battles. This sounds like it has a lot of potential for an epic story telling, good luck!
