『Catopus Krueger』

He is doing his best at digital art.

I'm crying how tf is he so cute 😭

such precious little thing.

Cephalopod-like kitties!! They were created for the Second Wave.

The big one is Ember, the mother of Permafrost, Firefly and Algae. She is grumpy but a big mama. Former feral kitty. Her mate was unfortunately deceased.

Permafrost is the most energetic out of her siblings, playful and messy.

Firefly takes a lot after her mama, however instead of being a grump, she is said to look like she's chilling most of the time. But she can be a menace, if pushed to her limits.

"What is that?" Hakoda asks trying very hard not to pinch the bridge of his nose as he stares at the eight legged furry purring THING wrapped around Azula. "It's a cat of course surely you can see that for yourself." Azula replies giving the 'cat' a scratch behind its ears. "An octopus cat to be precise." Ty Lee puts in lifting a fur covered tentacle from her arm and giving it a pet causing the creature to wrap more tentacles around her.

"Sushi is a Giant Octopus Cat. If ZuZu gets a giant pet I get one too." Azula announces her arms crossed. Ranalok grinned giving the cat a pat, "Fairs fair, Chief." He says moving out of range of the long tentacles so as not to be ensared by them. The boy and giant pet in question were halfway across the deck where Zuko was trying to use his weight to keep the dog from scitter-clawing his way to get at the cat as he growled and barked at it.

Toklo only helped after Zuko threatened no more hot water, Panuk was no help at all despite having an arm free. With the dog mostly held off for now Hakoda turned his attention back to the Fire princess and her new pet. "How big is this thing going to get exactly?" He questions not sure if he really wanted to know now that he knew how big Seal Jerky would get if his son kept feeding him snacks the way he did.

What would that mean if he did the same with this cat? Just how big could it get? It had giant in the name so probably pretty big. "The biggest domesticated one recorded was 9 m wide." Mai answers not paying attention to them really but rather playing with a new knife she got that had serrated edges. Wonderful that meant it could possibly get bigger then that. And that's still a 30 foot cat on their ship.

"Catopi usually come in smaller breeds like the mimic catopus but Azula asked Uncle if they came bigger and he got her from a special breeder." Zuko explains as he fashion a leash and harness for Seal Jerky from rope to tie him up with. "Unfortunately my brother named her before I got the chance to even see her so she is stuck with the name Sushi now since she won't respond to anything else." Azula rolled her eyes entangled in the cat's tentacles as she was she was still a intimidating picture surprisingly.

"And the hawk?" Hakoda rubbed his temples wondering what it was with his kids trying to give him gray hairs early. The hawk was a fire nation messenger hawk that was perched on Panuk's leather wrapped arm preening itself. "So we can communicate with Uncle far more easier then with your pathetic birds of course." Was the the answer Hakoda recieved. "Plus Ty Lee named her Fire Flake." Wonderful they had two new pets on board now. At least the hawk wouldn't grow to be giant. He thinks/hopes.
