It is very dark. If you continue you are likely to be eaten by a grue.
grue
[EF] The Grue is a sinister, lurking presence in the dark places
of the earth. Its favorite diet is either adventurers or
enchanters, but its insatiable appetite is tempered by its
horrible fear of light. No grues have ever been seen by the light
of day, and only a few have been observed in their underground
lairs. Of those who have seen grues, few ever survived their
fearsome jaws to tell the tale. Grues have sharp claws and fangs,
and an uncontrollable tendency to slaver and gurgle. They are
certainly the most evil-tempered of all creatures; to say they are
touchy is a dangerous understatement. "Sour as a grue" is a common
expression, even among themselves.
Hmm, grue, dark grue... Yeah, that fits.
I guess we could use it here, since my suggestion that it might
be needed to describe the color of the new maersk ships turned out to
incorrect.
