River/Northern Bid'ha (another of @crispy-ghee's tribes!)

The Bid'ha are one of the largest tribes in the Datlokh. Their territory cuts through the entire valley, across the mountains, and into the coastal of the valley's end. Deeper into the valley, where the rivers and lakes pool, the Northern Bid'ha have developed more distinct, thicker set of scutes not unlike crocodilians, to help against the rocks when the rapid and tides of water bash against them. Their southern, more sea-faring cousins, have smoother skin, or their scutes are less defined.

All in all, both river and coastal Bid'ha are ethnocentrically the same. They are physically defined by smoother, downward cruve slants of their crests, long tresses (which they protect in elaborate knots/braids and even netting), and smaller tusks.

The Ki'dto swamps and Bid'ha river territories do overlap, which has been a point of tension for generations before the Unification. They may, occasionally, cross-breed.

One of Kirileg's last mates was a Bid'ha. He did not survive.

Happy birthday art to best friend and best artist @crispy-ghee!

I saw @crispy-ghee is going through some rough times right now, so I sketched up their Predator OC, Cousin

This is the first time I’ve drawn one of these guys, it was kinda fun

I hope things start getting better for you soon!

Exploration concept of Kirileg, leader of @crispy-ghee's Ki'dto tribe. They are swamp dwellers and specialize in ambushes and poisons.

The Ki'dto yautja's tresses are average in length, usually no longer past the shoulders. The length of Kirileg's tresses is as such because they are mostly not her own natural ones, but extensions added after taken from fallen enemies. The length of this collection means she is a formidable warrior and poison master!

The bright coloration of the Ki'dto are half natural, half enhanced by the poisons they concoct and ingest themselves. Much like flamingos' pink colors from eating a special kind of shrimp, the Ki'dto maintain their bright colorations as they continuously ingest their own poisons. The brighter the colors, the more deadly the poisons they carry.

Assume anything pointy or sharp on them is laced with poison. Same with any food or drink they offer.

The skulls on her headdress are not from enemies, but from past Leaders. Ancestors commune with the living and the living with their ancestors. Kirileg carries with her the wisdom of their past leaders and will 'speak' with them often.

You and Crispy do a lot of art and story stuff together. Do you or would you do other stuff like that with other artists or people in the predator fandom?

@crispy-ghee and I have known each other for years and have collaborated creatively just as long. We are often on the same vibe and brainwaves and can easily toss ideas back and forth that fit together in our worldbuilding.

That being said, we have noticed a trend of people tagging their own yautja OCs as certain tribes/clans of ours. While we absolutely are honored that people enjoy our worldbuilding enough to want to be a part of it, please respect that this particular sandbox is not open to the public.

Mostly, we are still in the works ourselves! We haven't gotten much down as cemented canon and ideas and concepts will change. Our clans/tribes also have very particular ethnocentric, cultural, and physical attributes and other dispositions that we want to retain unadulterated. At the very least, please reach out to us and ask permission to have an OC of yours be of a certain clan/tribe if you are interested. It's the courteous thing to do, and we will better be able to help you identify those particularities.

We appreciate everyone's understanding.

Do you do other art or character stuff with any other person besides CG or is it just them and no one else?

This sounds a bit accusatory, though I'm not going to proceed thinking about this question that way.

For now, yes. I'm only comfortable doing worldbuilding with @crispy-ghee, as we've known each other, even IRL, for years. That doesn't mean I won't ever do, say fan-art, or accept fan concepts and ideas, or occasionally dabble with another artist, however. It just means that the bulk of my time, effort, and creative input will be with crispy. And we are happy to share with the rest of the fans and fandom!

Is Mas + JT baby canon in the human AU?

I ...don't post art as often as I should these days. I'm mostly keeping to discord and just doodling back and forth with Crispy, and keep forgetting, oh yeah, there are people who know about this and probably want to know what's going on. Oops! So recap!

While Mas and JT try to be careful during their amorous rendezvous, sometimes the passion gets the better of them. More often than not. Mas ends up pregnant, as these things happen, and while she tried to keep it from JT at first until she decided what to do, in the end she decided to go through and be a mom. If you thought Mas liked raiding the fridge before...! At the end, Mas gave birth to a boy and named him 'Victor'. It's a bit of an inside joke between them.

Victor is the eldest of their children, with his little sister, Darna, not far behind!

Would Mas and JT’s baby still be considered Koroth’Ul by blood? Or do both of the parents have to be Koroth’Ul for the baby to be considered?

I've brought this up with @crispy-ghee and we've come to the conclusion that, per Koroth'Ul custom, you only need one parent to be Koroth'Ul to be considered of the clan.

Koroth'Ul believe that they are the living descendants/embodiment of their patron-myth, Koroth. And if you are of Koroth's blood, then you are linked to this clan and belong to this ancestry.

For the Dakh, Jagged-Tooth's clan, it's a little more complicated. They would recognize the child(dren)'s Dakh's lineage, but still Jagged-Tooth would need to vouch for them. They'd still be considered half-blooded by the Dakh, rather than full-blooded like the Koroth'Ul.
