November

Based the pose mostly on nargacuga bc I didn't feel like figuring out how the anatomy would work in any other pose.

So!

- Based a good lot of features on a vulture, particularly the neck and mouth shape. It felt fitting for a creature that is technically already dead to be based on a carrion bird.

- Head scales are primarily based on a snake - I wanted to keep a nice rounded forehead, and plain boxy scales weren't doing that for me.

- Wings and tail fin have patterning meant to make them appear torn and ragged, intended to trick other monsters into thinking it's weak before it pounces

- Horns work somewhat like antlers, with the skin and scales growing over it before shedding as they grow

- Underbelly is bright red and would likely be used in threat displays when necessary. Usually kept hidden by staying low to the ground or clinging close to walls while hunting.

- Bites would likely inflict confusion similar to malfestio to mimic the entire 'spit is a hallucinogenic' notes from hoa

- Made it so the spikes are clearly emerging from under the back scales and pushing them out of the way to stay true to the nature of the parasite

So I think he wants to be gentle with me

And you know what that means?

The shop is now open!!

While we have the badges, there are also other HOA items such as acrylic standees and stickers too! And more will be on the horizon - I'm working on turning the Rachel and Clarice NINAH art into a standee :)
