Everyone knows the man, the moth, the legend!

Mothman is a cryptid from West Viginia, and I like to think he’s very floofy.

St George's monitor lizard

It sports large scales on its neck resembling small horns, a threat display with its bright orange tongue, and vestigial wing-like skin extension that its juvenile form used for gliding. It also spits a venomous concoction onto the wounds of its prey, causing a painful burning sensation

The strange varanid and its record in oral traditions later perished in the ensuing conflicts of history. Thus the original source of the fire breathing legend is forever gone, engulfed in flames.

A roc (giant eagle) for one of the creatuanary prompts! I used osprey colours.

No elephants were harmed in the making of this drawing. :)

Story in caption. Week 4 - Saci Perere (#creatuanary2023 day 27)

This week I report on another fascinating R&D project by the leading supplier to all the nastiest dungeon keepers in Almaos. This one actually had made it to some test market dungeons! Market research had forecast a vast market for a mischievous but not too aggressive creature for entry-level dungeons. By magically hybridizing a dark gnome, a garden gnome and the infamous one-legged flamingo, R&D created the saci perere, adorable small creatures with one leg, never to be seen without their pipe and a magical red cap. Yet, these annoying tricksters manifested an unrestrained appetite for mischief! Saci would miss no opportunity to play a nasty trick. Initial feedback from the test dungeons promised a huge success - dungeon keepers loved them! That intellectual inhibitions did not restrain their passion for playing tricks was by design and key to their success. Yet, it also proved their undoing as heroes learned to flood the dungeon with cheap, knotted strings. The saci’s craving for pranks compelled to them undo any knot, keeping them too busy to upset the heroes anymore. R&D tried to salvage the project by creating a string devouring slug, but they also ate essential parts of the dungeon infrastructure. In the end, the project had to be abandoned.

"The Bake-kujira is a ghost-whale that appears as a massive whale skeleton. It is accompanied by strange birds and fish and is purported to be extremely dangerous, smashing boats and leaving a terrible curse on the local village. The arrival of the Bake-kujira represents a terrible inversion of a rare and auspicious occurrence – the instance where a whale travels close enough to shore to be hunted and killed by local fishermen in smaller boats and using only nets, harpoons, and knives." Creatuanary is a challenge created by @dibujantenocturno @joshuacairos_art and @rafater_official where artists have to create (traditional paint, traditional draw, digital 2D, digital 3D) one creature per day in January. For Day 6, here’s Bake-kujira.
