Here's a sneak peek at a monster I created for a personal project. The "Shape Stealer", a rare spirit of sorts (that's all the info I'll give about these guys).

You hear it in the trees at night — a snapping branch, a sigh.

I really love my little rural queer community. I feel like rural places get written off as being a bit backwards, but there are so many people here who are working so hard to build a community and to make the world a better place.

You don’t need to be in a city to build community, and sometimes all it takes is a few people to come together to create something real and amazing

[flowercrowncrip]

The small rural organisation that was a complete lifeline for me as a newly out teenager (that I now work for) is also the most welcoming and accepting and willing to learn of any queer organisations I’ve encountered even in cities.

Well, that’s length-wise rather than height-wise, but yes! That would be the giant river otter (Pteronura brasiliensis), fellow countrymen of mine!

In fact, saying they’re 170 cm (5’7”) from head to tail is lowballing it a little. Some individuals as long as 180 cm (5’11”) have been recorded! Which is longer than I am tall 😔

You might have noticed that giant otters have a bit of a big cat-like look about themselves. That’s the origin of their name in Brazilian Portuguese, ariranha, which is a term from the Tupi-Guarani language and means “river jaguar”. And, just like ground jaguars, giant otters are apex predators as well: they mainly eat fish, but will hunt anything from snakes, turtles and even small caimans if given the opportunity!

Besides their size, giant otters have other traits that set them apart from their smaller cousins. For one, unlike most mustelids, they’re social animals who live in familial groups of up to twenty individuals, which whom they communicate constantly through a variety of different noises. Also, unlike other species of otter, whose tails are thick at the base and pointy at the end, giant otters’ tails also start out with a thick base, but they end up flat, which helps propel them through the water. The interesting thing about it, however, it’s that it’s not flat in an horizontal way, like the tails of other semiaquatic mammals such as beavers and platypuses. It’s flat vertically, not unlike the tail of a newt!

Well, you’re entitled to your own opinion, of course. But could I perhaps bribe you into upgrading it to “ugly cute” by offering you a giant otter cuddle pile?
