My old ghost ladies! They are the Guardian of the Primordial Pools, an ancient being as old, if not older, than the Zone itself. The Pools themselves are some world building I came up with years ago, where all the never-human ectoplasmic entities are born from (or at least originated from).

Dottie the goat, Maude the maned lioness(and main driver of their body), Beatrice the dragon, and Edith the snake. They are a chimera like from Greek mythology. They go by she/her and they/them, and while they each have their own perfectly functioning brains and are their own individuals, they do share things like memories. Said memories are pretty scattered.

For their color scheme, I went with an albino/leucistic/melanistic look, then translated it to ghost colors as best I could.

Bonus of their original design from around 2016 I believe:

Something I drew on my phone with my finger, in order to try and keep some sanity between calls at work.

Just a little concept for my Primordial Pools lore. Deep, deep in the Ghost Zone, past the last scattered purple doors, where the sky gets darker and darker, float the Primordial Pools at the fringes of the Realm. Every so often, the calm ectoplasmic lakes start to bubble and churn, and eventually something new crawls out.

They say there’s a Guardian that watches over them, as ancient as the Realms themselves. Just rumors, though.

Basically, this is where the beings that were never human come from. To my understanding, it seemed clear in the show that some ghosts were dead humans, and some were simply creatures born of the Zone. And that’s how I’ve always interpreted it myself. I refuse to believe characters like Wulf, the Far Frozen, Skulker, etc were ever human.

So -gestures- ta dah!
