Lesser Known Monsters

Some fan art i did for one of my favourite book series. The series is gay as hell, got an amazing selection of diverse characters, found family, and a ton of incredibly done monsters.

Tumblr would love it, so give it a read.

Reblogs really appreciated, as this one took an absolute age to finish rendering. See if you can find all the monsters :)

Do you know what a zburator is?, if you do can you draw it sonic style please?

I didn't until this ask, but this is pretty cool! From googling around, they appear to be a heraldic+folkloric animal from Romania. In english speaking heraldry they seem to be called a 'dracone', but I'm gonna use Zburator for this as it's their original (and far more specific) name:

The Zburator (literal translation: 'flyer'/flying thing) Seems to refer to a humanoid, nomadic entity that is somewhat associated with the motif of a wolf-headed serpent dragon: Depicted with rings or segments of fur (this is actually to do with how the animal is depicted as a kind of battle standard-turned-noisemaker used in historical warfare, fyi). The things that really stuck with me that I'm going to emphasise in a sonic/mobian-verse design for the Zburator is that they seem to sit -perfectly- in the niche between vampire (bat), dragon and werewolf tropes. Their unique ability seems to be to turn invisible (but not intangible) at will, but as the name suggests, they can also fly, presumably with OR without functioning wings. Stereotyped as roving thieves, scoundrels and stealers of hearts, the Mobian Zburator population has no set homeland, and no individual stays long in one place. As a result, Zburators are a mixed bag of genetic traits from many different sources... But as long as they have a handful of visual traits and their native abilities, their offspring are still considered one of their own. Curiously, mobian folklore suggests that male offspring are more likely to come out as Zburators in mixed species pairings, but this is unconfirmed.

Seeing the vast number of incubus like entities in myth and folklore, I  kind of want to see a story of a normal woman who lucks out in having to deal with many at once* use their pride/weaknesses like garlic to pit them against eachother and have them all tear eachother apart in view of her window while she looks on and eats snacks.

Because seriously, vampire verus demon versus zburator (wolf-headed dragon that can turn into a shooting star) and who knows what else would be amazing.

*why it counts as lucking out: remember the famous Simpson scene where Mr.Burns has every disease known to man and they struggle to get through the door?

Fată Verde / Zburător aesthetic

Fată Verde is an old romanian folk-rock song (the song here) about a “Green Girl” with “forest hair”. The night weaves her a “ie” (romanian traditional blouse) for the Flyer's visit.

Zburător / Flyer is a romanian folklore roving spirit who makes love to maidens by night. He appears as a ghost, as a shooting star, sometimes winged, coming down in the shape of an incredible handsome man and, sometimes, in the shape of the man the girl loves, although he cannot be seen by other people. He is actually the personification of the intense feelings of erotic desire and longing for a man. They met and consume their love in the world of dreams but everything is so intense, almost real that the young woman becomes exhausted and obsessively in love. Some old books even tell stories about young girls haunted by this mysterious man, becoming so desperately in love that they started acting like lunatics, walking almost undressed and untidy, obviously exhausted and sometimes semi conscious.

The "zburător" or "sburător" can also refer to a demon that takes the shape of a young handsome man, visiting women in their sleep: incubus.
