Working on a monstrous vampiric giraffe man that's been floating around my head for a few years now.

I keep thinking about hyenas to gnolls and then of course other animals like.... zebras to centaur.... wildebeest to minotaur...... but what the hell would a giraffe be??? This is important. I love giraffes. Please solve my problems. 😰

Hehe, this did make me chuckle. 

I think part of the problem is the ‘watering down’ of the connection. Hyena and gnolls appear to be very similar, with only a few things (more hand-like fore-paws and an upright posture), while zebra and wildebeest are very similar to the ‘animal’ halves of the traditional taurs we associate with them. Giraffes are a bit harder… You run the risk of ending up with a ridiculous monster… (tiny human bit stuck on a giraffe body? MASSIVE human torso on normal giraffe…) However, I’m gonna go for the taur equivalent of a giant or just a larger person, and just scale up the human body a bit…

And with my centaur Iskandar (based on a heavy horse) for scale. He features in orc boy Khuruz’ story if you’re interested. 

So yeah. My take on giraffes in the taur/non-human world. Please feel free to chime in with other/better suggestions!! Or draw a better version of the giraffe-taur-person…
