In my experience, creatures in DF with a "trunk" always have a facial appendage as a body part, as opposed to being very long or serpentine.

I have no idea where anything is. I have no idea what anything does. This is not merely a madhouse designed by a madman, but a madhouse designed by many madmen, each with an intense hatred for the previous madman's unique flavour of madness.

These descriptions are often open to interpretation. Like how "monitor" actually refers to the monitor lizard, but is drawn as a computer monitor. If I could art I would draw it as a feathered alligator with a trunk (as in, the big sturdy box) filled with magical fire.

I broke out the 4-pen for some colour magic. The writing and numbers coming through from the back of the page add unexpected texturing.



Photobucket is unresponsive for me today so I tried tinypic which turns out to be pretty cool. For some reason I had the impression that it was going to shrink the image but this is 1:1 from the page I scanned.

Congratulations Loam! I updated the OP with the new beastie!

I really want to draw that now. I may give it a shot later today.

oops sorry 'bout the screenshots, bmac. I saw grizzlebridges do the same thing way back on page 7, and that's the last post I actually looked at up to this point, so I thought that's how this was happening. My bad.

Okay, no one's requested more time, so I'll go ahead and choose the winner.

All in all, very good entries; the one that I was struck by most was DG's. I though it best interpreted both the appearance and the story of the beast (it didn't include the fire, however, but that is understandable given that the beast is dead). So, congratulations DG! You are the winner.

Ok, I found time to produce one sooner than I expected. Behold:



I don't think we've had a warthog before, or even many pig based FBs, but I could be wrong. May the best Pumbaa win. Hakuna Matata.
