"Ruyava Urnnightmare" is a pretty badass name for an amphibian.  Here is my version:

Thanks, Chewie.  Didn't really need a full night's sleep tonight anyway.

I would point out that a mandible is also the lower part of the jaw of any animal.

To. . . . much. . . awesome. . . .going. . . .to. . . explode!!

I'm a bit distressed at the silliness coming from this particular contest.  I suppose I have to raise the tone a bit with a second entry.

Now that I've done that, I'll go hide my head in shame.

I like Knicks dwarfs best of all



"Going on break"

Thanks for that!  However, if you look closely "going on a break" is actually fitting a bolt into his crossbow.  I think the only thing missing is the golden haired dwarf carrying a baby into battle.  I'm not ashamed to admit I was influenced by some of the "prepare for battle" scenes from Bravemule.

Yo Knick, mind if I do one based on the pun?

Puns deserve to be free!!  (So no, I don't mind at all and even encourage it.)

A great noseless bison.

Well then, how does it smell?

Terrible!

Thank you ladies and gentledwarves!  Nyalathoteps Cousin and I will be here all week!

Time to wrap up.  We have three entries as follows:

From Icecold, what I would best describe as a lurking horror.  Exactly the sort of creature that would scare the bejabbers out of your standard dwarf.  I particularly like the runic-looking etchings in the rock--sort of mine signs indicating that there is a danger ahead.

Good thing I have a bit of experience in drawing skinless things.

Next is GreatWyrmGold, who encountered the same sizing problem I did when I first submitted to this thread.  Actually, I found sizing the image in Paint works well, although you still have to work on making it legible (took me several tries).  I like the small cloud of bolts.  When Quelge finally fell, it was after a sustained period of bleeding out in a lake, which this seems to capture nicely.

Spoiler: HUGE Image! (click to show/hide)

Let's give a round of applause for my digital camera, which has left this image a bit bigger than the piece of paper I drew it on!
 Okay, it's not colored, but I included six crudely-drawn dwarves and a bunch of cavern wildlife! And the shell is actually enormous! And the head looks like a skull with some muscle and sinew on it!

Last one is Chewie, whose unfinished work is still impressive--a sort of Slenderman version of Quelge.  I note that what looks like the right front leg seems to articulate backwards.  I don't know whether or not this was deliberate or a mistake, but it adds to the unsettling look of the creature, and I like it. 

This basically just became a greyscale painting of a toad without all the specific features the FB has. But I was quite surprised by my painting skills and since there's not much going on here, I thought I'd upload it anyway.

I also stopped painting mid-work while I got on the background. So it's not even finished.

Thanks, everyone for contributing.  I'm giving this to Icecold.  Congratulations!

I can give this one a shot...skinless toad, enormous shell, deadly dust, rhythmic undulation, shot to death, upper body go...you know that the death-u-screen thing always shows the basic body part (i.e. upper body) as missing, right?

Actually, I didn't know that.  Right now, there is only a skeleton and a pool of blood in an underground lake.
