Donc, après avoir vu Dry Run, le court métrage de Felix Colgrave sur les Troluals (Troluaux?) j’ai été voir le lien de @abookofcreatures que je ne connaissais pas pour en apprendre un peu plus sur ce potentiel Ahuri supplémentaire.

Et là, je tombe sur cette gemme:

The only major literary appearance of a trolual is in the fabulous tale of Alector, where one surfaces off the coast of the Asian Tangut Empire and ravages harbors every full moon. It is defeated and slain with the help of a magical flying hippopotamus.

NON!!! Comment vous pouvez me faire ça?!! Parler d’un hippopotame volant magique ET NE PAS CITER SON NOM?!!!

So after watching the short movie Dry Run by Felix Colgrave about Troluals, I went to read’s @abookofcreatures ‘s link cause I didn’t knew about trolual and this is such a Silly Bestiary candidate that I need to know more.

And then, I found this:

The only major literary appearance of a trolual is in the fabulous tale of Alector, where one surfaces off the coast of the Asian Tangut Empire and ravages harbors every full moon. It is defeated and slain with the help of a magical flying hippopotamus.

NOO!! How can you do that?!! Talking about a magical flying hippopotamus and NOT MENTIONING IT’S NAME?!!

abookofcreatures replied to your post “Gunblr/gun folks. Remember. These people that are talking about gun...”

OP and cohorts are literally this asshole: http://www.theonion.com/article/white-house-not-geologic-era-debate-gun-control-57108

I believe there may have been a misconception here.

I never said that we shouldn’t be discussing gun control.

I’m literally discussing gun control right now, on this site.

a little bit ago a cryptid/mythology blog i Really Admire called a book of creatures let me do some guest art for one of their posts, BUT they only gave me the description for the creature in question, and not what the actual name or lore behind it was - its since been thrown up on the blog itself, and if you wanna hear a bit about this thing and a lot of other really good, really well sourced monsters, definitely check it out !
