In the middle of night on a full moon ninja grandad's chicken allies are snatched up by a peculiar shadow. The shadow makes no noise at all. The ninja grandad is in bed having a deep sleep (hey ninjas need their sleep) the chickens mouths and legs are covered with a strange paw so they cant call for help or attack the strange creature.
