The king was swift to undergo the preparations for the creation of another god child. This time Melalo instructed him to have the egg put into the remains of a rodent analog that the king personally had to chew up, much to the disgust, but reluctant acceptance, of the king. Melalo’s advice at this point was becoming more revenge towards his father for his abuse.
The newest child, which once again didn’t look like a Locolichi and created diseases much to the frustration of the king, resembled a long centipede-like white earth rat with a gliding membrane between all her limbs and a proboscis nose and large eyes. She was named Silali.
Silali was put in charge of a continent with particularly high levels of protests and anti-king sentiments. While she was a disease generating guardian, she also had a very powerful organ system that operated like a refrigeration system, thus giving her cryogenic abilities. She also tended to frequent coastal areas, and frequently refused to tone down her cryogenic abilities. Temperature fluctuations caused by her presence created storm fronts and even hurricanes that traveled very far inland, and sometimes even followed her. This made air travel impossible around areas impacted by her powers. These storms were so frequent that cities were often flooded, and since Locolichi were innate burrowers whose buildings often extended substantially underground, this resulted in an unknown number of deaths from drowning and rendered the bottom halves of some cities uninhabitable. She was very fond of these hurricanes and often rode them for miles using her patagium. Citizens learned to dread the sight of a hurricane whose lightning illuminated a 1,000 foot undulating silhouette.
Aside from the property damage caused by her storms, the winds carried her diseases very far. All of which caused lethal fevers, drastically increasing body temperatures to the point of death via heat stroke while victims felt as if they were freezing to death. The worst was the “Icehot Plague” which resulted in fevers so high that some unfortunate victims spontaneously combusted.
Death and storms weren’t enough to entertain Silali though, and she proved to be an incredibly unruly troublemaker who frequently instigated fights amongst the god children. Melalo suggested making a husband for her to get her to focus her attention elsewhere…

Dang did it really take like 3 months to get back to making these? Well I’m back now and what better month to do it than spooky month. I would have started again sooner but holiday season has made my job torturous, and I worked 9 days in a row a week and a half ago and then had court duty.
Here’s what she looks like under the patagium
I probably should have put a white background on that
