Some of the designs I really loved doing for Rick Riordan’s website! I feel like I had another splurge of improvement happen fairly recently, and I’m having so much fun with these (and other) portraits:”)
You probably have seen it already, but hey, it won’t hurt having them in a good quality here:D
there aren’t enough posts going around about the swedish cryptid known as the skvader which is a rabbit with pheasant wings and also a very good boy.
like this one dude just made a fake taxidermy and spread it around as a hoax for a good ass while and it lead to this really cool fantasy creature and i am genuinely dissapointed that it never gets used in anything
THE BOY
Rabbirds, by the amazing @tkingfisher/Ursula Vernon (source).
The lack of skvaders is particularly frustrating when you realize it forms the third point of a wonderful cryptid trifecta.
You got the jackalopes, which are rabbits with antlers.
And you got the wolpertingers, which are rabbits with antlers and wings.
And then… what? Do you escalate? That’s unbalanced, those two rabbit cryptids don’t have the same number of extra things, the wolpertinger is clearly the jackalope But More.
BUT with the skvader on the other side, balance is restored. Antler rabbit, winged rabbit, winged antler rabbit. It’s a classic Venn diagram of imaginary lapine beasts, and it’s only complete if you acknowledge the fucking skvader.
Good thing Ursula’s got our back, at least.
This is a really excellent point and I applaud your advancements in Cryptid Theory.
Gentleman, if I might add:
yes you may add this
Ok, but they are ACTUALLY cute
@drferox, is this preferable to tagging you in all the cryptid horses?
Yes, most definitely.

“First of all, keep him out of the light, he hates bright light,
especially sunlight, it’ll kill him. Second, don’t give him any water,
not even to drink. But the most important rule, the rule you can never
forget, no matter how much he cries, no matter how much he begs, never
feed him after midnight.”
