Description summary:
The title and description vary with the quarry you're tracking. The the in the title is absent for Mr Veils' aspects.

Parabolan QuarryDescription
Seven-Throated WarblerThe Seven-Throated Warbler greets you […] and […] compliments you on the weather. "Because it's to your credit," it says, "getting such a sunny climate in a dream is not easy." But it's eying you and every one of its beaks is made of razor steel.
Focused AlbatrossThe Albatross opens its beak very wide, like it's working up to trying to swallow you whole. And where would you go? Into its non-existent belly?
Storm-birdIts eyes are pits of darkness. It is drawn to fear, curious, not always able to read what it means.
Honey-Mazed BearIt looks at you like you're another pot of honey.
Carnivorous AurochsIts eyes are rimmed red. Is it angry with you? Has it forgotten who you are? Or has Parabola wakened some unspeakable sorrow?
Iron-Toothed Terror BirdIt is snapping its beak at you. It may have forgotten that you raised it from an egg.
Pinewood SharkIt is circling you, grinning with all of its teeth. You have at least distracted it from its original quarry.
Ushabti-VesselThe feral ushabtiu vibrates with barely-contained hatred. Its stony expression reveals nothing else – is it even capable of fear?
Curator Mr VeilsIt sees you. It simply doesn't take a great deal of interest. You, at your size, don't pose much threat. The Curator has not had much conversation with humans.
Surface Mr VeilsVeils has a treaty to negotiate; you are not part of these plans. It has so far been taking more of an interest in the diplomats around you.
