Skutler (01/13/15) Part of an entourage of mutated creatures encountered carrying a treasure chest into a wooded area, Skutler noticed me peeking over the bushes I was hiding in and charged over to confront me. The scream he made was disturbingly reminiscent of that made by The Thing (1982), a vain attempt to scare me and the pair of dream-generated companions away from their operation. For some reason I put a lot of focus on the way his face split and the double rows of fangs he displayed but after he had said his piece I told him to buzz off, which he complied to rather dejectedly. A detail I omitted for the sake of anatomical reference was the unbuttoned plaid shirt he had draped on like the 90's rocker I guess he thought he was. He's name Skutler because he scuttles, geddit?? ...I'll show myself out.

Dream Creature #133: Vostok The Vostok was a predator plaguing the tribe of Tapejari, using the cover of darkness to prey on the tribe's children. By unknown circumstances, I was contracted to dispose of it, spending most of the dream trudging through the forest to track it down. Upon being ambushed, I took it down by slamming a giant meathook into its face.

Dream Creature #132: Tapejari   The Tapejari were a tribe of intelligent creatures resembling terrestrial pterosaurs with two extra pairs of limbs used for grasping. The tribe was led by a dominant male, whose crest was much larger and more colorful than that of the one pictured here. In the dream they were hunter-gatherers who foraged in a tropical forest. The rainforest hosted several extremely dangerous creatures, including one (who will be pictured as Dream Creature #133: The Vostok) who preyed on the Tapejari's children. According to dream narrative, this drove them to overcome their distrust of outsiders and request my help in disposing of the aforementioned predator.

Dream Creature #1: Blisterback I encountered this creature in a dream during my childhood (I can't remember the exact date), during which I and several dream-generated comrades were forced to fight him in an indoor arena. The only thing that interrupted his uniform electric-blue body color was his beady yellow eyes, light blue horns, and amber blisters erupting from his back. Being around the size of a wild boar, he used his size and muscular build to trample combatants. I made the mistake of piercing one of the blisters, releasing a caustic fluid that smelled strongly of garlic and produced a mind-numbing effect when the fumes were inhaled. After a lengthy fight, I leaped onto a ledge and pulled a switch that electrified the floor, killing the Blisterback instantly before the dream ended.
