FASA 365 Day 259, Imperitoris Bombus Affinis, (Emperor Bumble Bee). 10-12 Inches.
For 1879
It would seem that the common “bumblebee” is actually fae, and therefore subject to the effects of Magic returning to the world; or ‘looking glass fever’.
Growing in size and intelligence. Overtaking multiple hives and bee species. Forming “empires” across the landscape. Farmers fear an imminent Bee revolution.
Artists note: My sister in law was looking through the 365 volumes and questioned why there were not Bumble Bees… I don’t think she would be prepared for these guys.
FASA 365 Day 258, Spina Curculioninae Anguis, (Thorn Snout Cobra) 4-6ft
Highly poisonous.
The tendrils are prehensile, and grip its prey.
The bushy brow is also unique to the Thorn Snout, as Hair follicles are not normally associated with cold blooded reptiles.
Volume 4 of the Creature Concept 365 Completed. This Volume ends at Day 257,
109 left to go.
FASA 365 Dy 257, Nigrum Limo Xornigera Desidiae, (Black Horned Slime Sloth) 6ft Herbivore
Found on the jungle floor. Under debris, and under foot.
A terror is the Black Horned Slime
A lazy, slimy, sloth sublime.
Hidden on the jungle floor
smelling heavily of a moor.
An unkempt and a lonely species
A haven of muck and insect feces.
Steer clear of bogs while on safari
if needing a discreet lavatory
To every mammal, an afrodesiac
guess what makes Slime Sloths attack
With trouser well below the shin
the prospect of my escape is thin.
The death knoll is surely going to chime,
ravaged by a horny Black Sloth Slime.
FASA 365 Day 256, Princeps Harenae Thoracem Laneum, (High Plains Hopper), 8-10ft. Herbivore. Will eat insects.
For 1879.
Found on the Desert sands in and among the bush and cactus.
According to our Australian friend…”yeh, I could ride that, I reckon.”
We’re sending a search party out tomorrow.
