    Siento que Ehécatl-Quetzalcóatl al ser una representación de las corrientes de aire y agua estaría emparentado con estos, con sus barbas blancas, su hocico rojo haciendo referencia a la máscara de Ehecatl y su penacho de quetzal, lo que si es que Quetzalcóatl nunca fue representado con alas ni con patas al tener su forma de serpiente, la Serpiente alada es Tsukan, otra entidad distinta, la Serpiente nube es Mixcoatl, advocacion guerrera de Xipe Totec, también la Llorona tendría que ser Serpiente ya que Tonantzin Cihuacoatl (Nuestra venerable madre Mujer Serpiente) es quien se aparecía en el tepeyac brillando y cantando y en el Lago de Texcoco llorando por la futura muerte de los pueblos indígenas quienes considera sus hijos al ser la creadora de la humanidad junto a Quetzalcóatl

    A mammalian dragon that managed to take over the crocodile niche was not what I had expected, but it all worked out amazingly. They are such a close match and would be a very imposing beast for most people, and I can see them even as normal animals becoming a symbol of rulers as they control the rivers, which were vital for human societies.

    Dragons are fish let me explain you see fish are a type of order of animals like mammals right wrong the word fish is more a description of an a aquatic animals in fact celocamp (not entirely sure that i typed the name correctly honestly) celocamps are known to be related to camels more then the common salmon so every long cockatrice etc are not related biological standard but are more of a term for a type of creature that is essentially a giant reptile that humans either worship or fear at least that’s my opinion

    At first I thought It was gonna use algae or something as hair, but the moment you started describing it as a mammal, changed the way I see this creatures entirely. The habitat, the scales, the mane, it all falls into place perferctly. Its so simple yet so fantastical at the same time, that I can perfectly picture this in the real world. I can´t express how much I like this one, really, thank you so much

    When I initially saw the teaser for this episode I initially thought that it was going to be a type of salamander but I was pleasantly surprised when you made the Long a carnivoran. I like how you brought such a world renowned mythical creature to life in this episode and with how strange and beautiful the end result was I do look forward to seeing you draw more creatures from Chinese culture, I love the way they turn out especially with the iridescence. In the modern day how exactly are Longs doing? I know a lot of species of large animals endemic to Asian rivers are under threat like the dolphins but I’m assuming that Longs are being preserved due to their cultural significance. I actually have two things to mention here instead of the usual proposal. The first is regarding a commission I might make soon, I am not really in a good position financially where I can make a commission for an episode (if I can at all due to Patreon) so if I do I will probably do it through a friend of mine. Just keep that in mind. Now onto the main concept: Gromit from Wallace and Gromit! Sapience can come in many different forms and create many different kinds of culture, however some haven’t formed true societies like humans. For some like today’s research subject this isn’t necessarily an issue. The Lancashire Hound is a close relative to creatures like the American Werewolf though it is endemic to Northern England where it has made frequent encounters with the human race. This has unfortunately led to a massive population decline due to people not knowing how to properly care for such magnificent animals. There is hardly any information available about Lancashire Hounds so our research group hasn’t been able to figure out why they might have gone extinct, that was until recently. The IT branch of our research centre has picked up on a interesting breed of dog in the past few months that was claimed to be a beagle, however further investigation has revealed this to be a living member of the Lancashire Hound species to the astonishment of many. The owner however didn’t seem all that shocked, letting our staff chat to him over some cheese and crackers. The Hound, now referred to as Gromit, has let himself be studied to understand this bizarre species of canine and we have learned a lot from him. Unlike other Macrocanids he is a lot more dexterous with enlarged paws with no visible claws letting him grasp onto objects with ease which may have helped their early successes in the past. The Lancashire Hounds appear to be surprisingly antisocial usually only bonding with one or two other individuals throughout their lives and don’t hunt large prey, rather using tools to hunt and forage for sustenance. In the case of Gromit he was found at a very young age by his owner and raised to be an assistant to his inventing. Mr Wallace (the owner) has made a career in his community by providing unorthodox forms of regular services such as window washing, pest control and gardening among others and has brought Gromit along the same path, putting him through education and letting him get degrees in things like robotics (don’t ask us how he pulled that off) and constructing contraptions together for the past few years. Despite Gromit’s sapience he doesn’t seem to communicate very well with others due to the lack of a solid language for Lancashire Hounds so he is mute and unable to mimic voices like some birds, he doesn’t seem to mind this however as he uses different forms of body language to get his points across. There have been sightings of other Lancashire Hounds in the neighbourhood and evidence of them having a much more sophisticated culture than first imagined though we have yet to investigate these claims due to some *other* events surrounding Mr Wallace, like the elusive “Were-Rabbit” that appears to have been ravaging the neighbourhood. Gromit in the end remains somewhat of a mystery into the history of the Lancashire Hounds with even Wallace not knowing where Gromit originated from, just finding him somewhere in the neighbourhood but these two are inseparable even if they disagree on minor things sometimes so our team has decided to leave them in peace, for now, and let them continue with their “Anti-Pesto Humane Pest Control” business which we’ve been advised by them is “running smoothly” though Gromit was showing signs of doubt about that… All the best SWRC!

    • @speculativewildlife
      @speculativewildlife 20 часов назад

      Long are indeed doing rather well due to their cultural value, hunting them is extremely forbidden and many areas where they live have been turned into natural reserves! Really glad you liked it :D Also, really excited to see what you have in mind for that! And I honestly love the idea of some baffled SWRC researchers having tea with Gromit XD Actually, can we borrow Gromit? His degree on robotics would be useful since Dr Robotnik was fired and Dr Jeff sadly passed. We may have a position for him.

Truth be told I was assuming your second take on the Loong would be some kind of amphibian though this mammalian route sure was interesting and another thing I must add is honestly just how good the artwork you did for it looks, it has a nice sense of dimension and real feeling detail I guess is the best way I can put it also those iridescent scales really do pop nicely. For my suggestion this week I was curious if you had thought about covering the Telchines of Greek mythology because honestly, I would really love to see how you could take dog headed mer-wizards and make them plausible animals.
