The group returns home to find that Toby has gone missing. Thinking he went out to look for his mother, Dan orders a search of the area. Not far away, an explosion suddenly lights up the frozen forest, and the group finds the smoldering debris of a chopper crash, and two survivors. When Toby awakens, he discovers that his frightening rescuer is a bizarre and accentric oddity with a surreal collection of pets. Unsure of the man's intentions, Toby plays along until he can find a way to escape and rejoin his friends. Meanwhile, in the dark and macabre underground zoo, the ultimate lifeform begins to stir in its sleep. Its presence is a bane to all life around it, and even its captor fears its dark and vile nature.
