shout out to the people who draw hearth lookin like a cryptid. this guy looks like a feral cat that blitz found in the trash that he then brought into his apartment, fed, and then ended up with him as a roommate for life.
more cryptid hearth please i need him to portray the feral cat energy that we all know he has.
Can’t forgot grandpa Vendel! who of which in this case is a combination between a Plesiosaur and a leafy sea dragon.
The wisest and oldest of the leviathans of Sea market, Vendel watches over his fellow Leviathans as the markets leader. Using his vast knowledge and wisdom to guide young souls through an ever changing and perilous world through the safety of there heartstone.
In my rewrite trolls are created by chipping off a piece of the heartstone which will become the heart of the new troll, whose appearance is dictated by the trolls created by the heartstone (about 10% contribution) and those raising them(the rest of the 90% is divided amongst who has the most influence)
Queen usurna did not actually have any properly raised in any way and that's why they're all identical, that's the appearance of trolls their heartstones makes. AAARRRGGHH!!! was given up as a baby, meaning his appearance was primarily influenced by the gum-gums, since those are who raised him.
Elder trolls are USUALLY created by the first natural chip of a heartstone, which is why trolls like Gatto and Usurna exist, OR, the eldest of the trollmarket if the former elder dies, which is how vendel got his position.
