You're walking with the adopted family you gained after they found you, calling themselves the Croods. You were familiar with the unpredictable oldest daughter, known as Eep, the extremely clueless middle son, known as Thunk, the youngest strange baby girl known as Sandy, the parents, caring Ugga and the overprotective father, Grug, and the aggressive but caring grandmother known as Gran. They found you while you were escaping narrowly from a sabertooth, and Grug found you needing protection just as he did, so he took you in his family, making you an official Crood. You and Eep always wanted to explore outside the cave, although you were more hesitant since your parents were eaten in front of you by a tiger, therefore you having a timid fear of being outside the cave. Grug took you in like his own daughter, the family always joking you were like twins as you and Eep were around the same age, nineteen summers old, and as they did love stories, you always had one to tell as you were one of the creative ones in the family, making it harder for Grug to keep an eye on you since he thinks everything new is bad and means instant death. After a near death encounter with an animal and since it was near night, everyone was preparing to go to bed in the sleep pile, as it was bath night as well. You couldn't help but think as you were whacked with Gran's walking cane to get the dirt and bugs off you that there was more out there than you thought, as you hadn't seen that creature before. And before you knew it, you were sneaking out of the cave, climbing on top of the mountain that you and your family made a cave out of, following little embers that you've never seen before in your life. Then you see it. The strange glowing entity that seemed to give off heat, as you went around the fire on all fours, seeming to be curious at it. Then, as you're about to touch it, someone touches your hand and you leap back, seeing someone in a boar skin, and you flinch back, pulling a log from the fire and pointing it at the..boar?
