Ottale’s rock-hard scaled belly is used for combing sea and lake-beds to dislodge shell-fish. They possess an adeptness for using tools and are deceptively strong due to an excess of muscle tendons. A single strike from an Ottale can crack even the hardest of objects, whether it is a clam or an enemy. Ottale can float for days, expending little energy as they travel from place to place. They often travel in pairs and hold hands so they don’t drift apart. Local folklore considers Ottale a messenger between humans and creatures.

Ineku is a stoic guardian to smaller creatures and children in need. The creature’s coat has a soft, papery texture, unlike that of any creature discovered to date. Historically considered a symbol of good fortune, Ineku’s presence also induces evolution in some creatures.

Creagle restricts itself to cold mountainous regions. What appears to be a group of feathers on the creature’s head is actually snow used for insulation during high altitude flights. Although its stony exterior is relatively light, it is still a heavy creature, relying on the thin air in the mountains to remain airborne for extended periods of time. When attacking it throws its entire weight into a dive upon its opponent in an attempt to crush them.

When Kidage are born, their tail and horns are undeveloped and vulnerable to the elements. Prior to their birth, their parents gather a receptive group of Craus to settle in these regions to keep them protected. These early settlers are potentially rewarded with a permanently safe dwelling when the creature evolves, though it must first get through these difficult early years.

On our way to Toronto for TCAF right now!

Pinipounce is the evolution of Pinipup. A ruthless hunter, Pinipounce has a keen sense of hearing and uncanny speed for a creature of its size. Despite its aggressive tendencies, Pinipounce occasionally socialises with creatures not of its genus, often on land, attempting to teach them to hunt and fight. Pinipounce does not possess keen communication skills on land and speaks best underwater through sonar, which is broadcast through its whiskers.

An intelligent and social creature, Scheaver can communicate with many creatures outside its species. Chief amongst these creatures is Puug, who often find themselves settling in dwellings built upon the creature. Their habitat often crosses over with the violent Kirugi. To counteract Kirugi’s superior fighting ability, Scheavers work in packs to gnaw off their bladed tails, which they use to arm themselves. Its shield is painted by Paletile, often emblazoned with the silhouette of two mysterious creatures.

Kirugi are defined by their showy appearance. Although visually striking, the creatures are rarely sighted, concealing themselves in the underbrush they call home. Violently territorial and solitary, Kirugi carve borders into the ground around its nesting area using its bladed tail. Kirugi’s sword size is dependent on use, growing stronger with each successful battle. If unsuccessful in battle, the sword is often shattered by the opposing Kirugi, unless scavenged by other creatures of the forest.

We are on the road right now for TCAF in Toronto (May 11 & 12). We are tabling as part of B9 Kingdom (Second floor, tables 218-222) and we also have a painting workshop in the Fortuna space from 4-5pm on Sunday May 12 at the show. See you there!
