FASA 365 Day 277, Ursus Caeca Externa Spina, (Outer Spine Blind Bear) Omnivore. 15-20ft.
Calling this bear blind is a misnomer, it can see through the thick patch of hair that covers its eyes. Quite well actually.
The tusks and protruding spine give the bear an ominous silhouette. However, its proclivity to walk in a perpetual stoop… is rather comical.
Mostly a calm and docile, but can be quite the curmudgeon.
FASA 365 Day 276, Minima Venena Incantantium, (Tiny Poison Charmer) 10-12 inch. Herbivore.
The scent is intoxicating. The look is charming.
Its a trap!
The oils it secretes is toxic, inside and out. Touching it, let alone eating it, has proven fatal within minutes.
Fortunately, we were able to witness the outcome of a starving predator sniffing around and watched it die. Ghastly.
FASA 365 Day 275,Barbatum Gemini Capite Lacerti, (Bearded Twin Head Lizard) Carnivore 25-30 ft nose to tail tip.
Found on rocky shores and Sea facing cliffs.
With two heads and 6 legs.
It feeds in water, seal, penguin.
Runs from the sight of mermaids… Prompting many a vessel to use that information on the prow of their vessels.
FASA 365 Day 274, Spelunca Troglodytarum, (cave troll).
That’s right. We have a cave troll.
18ft at the shoulder; stooped. 28ft erect.
Omnivore.
Artists note: I like the face on this guy specifically. I can almost hear him quote a Tolkien troll… “Boil ‘im, say’s I.
FASA 365 Day 273, Aranea Monte, (Spider Mount) 15-20ft. AND Larger.
For 1879
This is one of the smaller mounts.
Favored by the Saurid tribes.
Artists Note: I was in an 1879 writers meeting yesterday where this idea was briefly mentioned… I couldn’t wait.
