Been playing a lot of Creatures of Sonaria and this lil RP started happening. A friend of mine has a Polymonstrum named Mother Meraxes, who is a demented serial killer who likes to KOS (kill-on-sight) everyone. She also has a tendency to adopt orphans, when she was the one who turned them into orphans in the first place! Even if they’re full grown....
Scott the Sochuri: I ain’t your kid! I’m a grown ass man! And I already have parents.
Meraxes: No, you don’t. They’re dead. I killed them.
That is likely the case for my character, a currently nameless Trutholbyeva. She raised him as an infant, instilling her teachings upon him (“If your extremities aren’t covered in blood by the end of the day, you’re doing something wrong”). Pictured here is said baby Trutholbyeva, already seeking her approval.
Trutholbyevas are already highly-aggressive nocturnal herbivores that will viciously attack anything that moves and will even frenzy themselves when they spill blood. They lack compassion for others outside their family group. A perfect species for Meraxes to take under her wing.
Our lil Trutholbyeva grows up highly devoted to his mother, and strives to meet the expectations put onto him. No matter the cost.
