CoS released a cool new creature so I drew it >:3

Full body under the cut

The drawing is weird, I know, it's just that I'm not very good at realistic drawing and I was looking for tutorials 😭😭.

LOREEEE

Vaelith was a single mother. After her partner died at the hands of a Kavouradis, she was depressed but stayed strong for her two cubs. They lived in the mountains, far from other creatures. She always fed them berries since she didn't want them to depend so much on meat. That was until famine came and she was forced to look for food elsewhere. She searched and searched and found nothing until she finally found berries in the flower cave. She quickly went back to the mountains where she had left her cubs.

Upon arriving, she gently grasped the smallest one (born two days prior) by the scruff of the neck, and the other, an adolescent who couldn't yet fly, she placed on her back before taking flight. However, the weight of her adolescent pup made it difficult to maintain her balance, forcing her to land amidst the plateaus near the desert. She lowered the adolescent grimcorr from her back and began walking at a moderate pace so as not to leave it behind. Suddenly, the pup she was holding by the scruff of the neck began to cry from hunger; it hadn't eaten in over four hours. This caused her to panic and quicken her pace, forgetting about the adolescent. The other grimcorr's cry made her stop abruptly, and she turned around to see a heiboktoruk holding it menacingly with one paw on the grimcorr's head.

Vaelith lowered the pup slowly and went on the defensive, growling. This caused the Heiboktoruk to press down on the adolescent Grimcorr's head. Not expecting an attack, Vaelith lunged, knocking it down, but the Heiboktoruk reacted by biting Vaelith's neck. Vaelith screamed and, in agony, told her pups to run—a bad idea.

While they continued fighting, she didn't notice a felisio heading towards her young. This prompted her to respond to the heiboktoruk's attack, managing to seriously wound it in the neck with the spikes of her collar, killing it. She turned to face the felisio only to see that it had killed the teenager and was carrying off the baby. Tearfully, she took flight after the felisio, managing to bite its tail and pull it back, causing it to lose its balance.

Taking advantage of the felsio's vulnerable moment, she bit its neck with rage and violence, plummeting downwards and causing the felsio to release the baby. Since they were on the coral reef, the baby fell into the water.

Seeing that her only offspring could die, Vaelith dived down, falling into the water with her baby. Weak and powerless, the baby sank. Driven by adrenaline and panic, Vaelith forced herself deeper into the water, but began to drown.

After what felt like an eternity, Vaelith awoke on the shores of the Flower Cave, wet and weak, only to realize her child was gone. She quickly searched the lake for any trace of her offspring, but sadly, she found nothing. With tears in her eyes, she went to see if her teenage child was still there, but found only a pool of blood and its vanished body. Breaking down in tears, Vaelith collapsed onto the hot desert floor.

vaelith grimcorr? of course!
