STRICT REFERENCE LOCK
[REFERENCE 1 — HUNTER] image2
Use the supplied Hunter reference exactly: same face, hair, beard, physique, fur-and-leather clothing, bow, arrows, quiver and materials.
[REFERENCE 2 — THAROG] image1
Use the supplied THAROG reference exactly: same giant proportions, skull, crescent horns, armored dorsal plates, fur, hide coloration, limbs and tail.
The arrow must remain embedded in THAROG's SAME injured eye after the hit.

CUT TO BLACK AT EXACTLY 30.00.
CONTINUITY RULE:
Treat 00:00–00:30 as ONE continuous physical event rather than 30 independent generated shots.
Every second inherits:
• exact subject position from previous second
• exact direction of movement
• current body pose and momentum
• current camera trajectory
• accumulated dust and environmental damage
• Hunter's bow/quiver state
• THAROG's injured eye
• embedded arrow position
• progressive horn damage
• established cave location
Never reset either subject between timestamps.
Hunter travels consistently toward the same cliff/cave from 00:14 onward.
THAROG follows the exact same chase axis.
The cave must first exist in the distant geography, become increasingly visible during pursuit, and only then become Hunter's escape route.
The arrow remains in the SAME eye from 00:08 through 00:30.
Horn damage occurs ONLY at 00:27–00:28 and remains visible afterward.
Maintain [REFERENCE 1 — HUNTER] and [REFERENCE 2 — THAROG] exactly throughout.
