#kasasagi

Yesterday, I didn't know what to think about the mud monster. After sleeping on it, I think it's a visual metaphor of how the Uzen ideology has consumed Yoichi and now his fellow victims are going to free him from it.

I didn’t know:

The Eurasian magpie is one of the most intelligent birds, and it is believed to be one of the most intelligent of all non-human animals. The expansion of its nidopallium is approximately the same in its relative size as the brain of chimpanzees, gorillas, orangutans and humans. It is the only bird known to pass the mirror test, along with very few other non-avian species.

It is said to be the original form of the Yatagarasu ("crow") , a three-legged bird that also appears in Japanese mythology.(Ref)

知りませんでした：

カササギは鳥類の中でも、人間以外の動物の中で最も知能が高いと言われています。そのニドパルリウムの膨張率は、チンパンジー、ゴリラ、オランウータン、人間の脳と相対的な大きさがほぼ同じです。鳥類では唯一、ミラーテストに合格していることが知られており、他のごく少数の非哺乳類の種とともに、ミラーテストに合格しています。

This is one of the drawing that I'm most proud of so far. For ducking real.

Its name is Kasasagi, it is the character of my dear friend Elia from our DnD campain. I am madly in love with its design, just look at that!!!
