FASA 365 Day 248, Mons Canis Ovis, (Mountain Sheep Dog) 3-5 ft
Mountain Climbing herbivore.
VERY soft warm fur. NOT wool
Elongated ears and short horns. Bushy tail.
Extremely agile and fast.
FASA 365 Day 247, Coleoptera Elephantidae, (Elephant Beetle) 1/4 to 3/16 inch
Blood Sucker.
The Elephant Beetle bite leaves an enlarged swelling, extremely itchy, and puss filled. A bite scratched open allows for spreading of the infection in a rash of bright green pustules.
Travels in swarms.
FASA 365 Day 246, Red Cap or Gnome. 3-4 inches.
Fae, Dark or Light; depending on their mood.
Seemingly harmless, but easily offended and HIGHLY VINDICTIVE.
IF, by chance; you find yourself deemed a friend… you’re lucky. Pray it lasts. When it’s gone, there’s no getting it back.
Best to steer clear, and avoid them all together.
Rumored that the red in their cap is stained with the blood of their enemies.
Offend one, you offend them and all their kin.
They invented the “Blood Feud”
FASA 365 Day 245, Furiosus Crocuta Lycaon, (Howling Mad Laughing Wolf) 10-12 ft. Massive muscular upper bodies.
Ravenous carnivore. Not a happy camper.
What’a ya’ get if you cross a Hyena with a wolf…. this.
One of just a few animals that kills for “fun”
It has been documented, a pack was seen attacking larger prey, only to leave the carcass without feeding. Letting the buzzards clean up the mess.
Witnesses were quoted, “When they were done… it was bone chilling, they walked away slowly, too slowly. Never letting their gaze falter from us. Staring at us through their brow.
It felt like they were warning us, telling us… you’re next”.
FASA 365 Day 244, Quad Cauda Rutrum Maxilla, (Four Tail Shovel Jaw) 3-4 ft Poisonous Bottome Feeder.
Not for eating.
Spikes deter bigger fish from chomping down or attempting to swallow them hole.
Shovel jaw scoops up the bottom sand and filters the edible from inedible.
Four tip tail makes this a highly maneuverable but slow moving fish.
Artist Note. This one started by looking at the linoleum on the bathroom floor. I found the jaw first, and the brow… sketched that and then took that image back to the drawing table. The fish was decided upon after.
My step daughter thinks Im inching closer and closer to zoo plankton territory. Could be.
