The ratlike creature halted less than two yards away from them.

The creature halted its struggles and now dangled bonelessly from the woman's hand, either drugged or be- spelled into calmness.

The creatures she'd summoned, the by-blows, halted their advance towards Cal, awaiting instruction.

The creature halted as if nonplussed, legs rising and falling rhythmically in place.

The great creature halted in its tracks, and lurched awkwardly forward upon its face, paralyzed.

On each occasion, the creature halted as it paused to inspect the pavilion, and then, after consideration, continued along the way and about its business.
