#space pet

(1961)

If you could ask this otter astronaut one question, what would it be?

My Kuriza muse only has one space pet, at the moment. He found her when he was five years old. He and his mother were coming outside of a bakery on Arcose when he saw this dirty, clearly starving and emaciated animal pawing through a dumpster. Kuriza immediately went to scoop her up, allowed her to eat the pastry his mother brought for him, and he BEGGED his mother to please let him keep her and take her home. He promised to take good care of her and he promised that he would be responsible for all of her care if Polara just said yes. The look on his face absolutely warmed her heart and there was no way she could say no to him without feeling bad about it.Her name is Aubergine and she looks sort of like a dragon-hybrid mammal with very sharp fangs, dark red skin, long tail with several spikes running along it, pointy ears, beady green eyes, very long claws, and she is massive. Aubergine weighs well over four hundred pounds and her appetite is gigantic. Although she seems to be reptilian, she is not. She has fur that is surprisingly soft to the touch as well.She looks scary and menacing, but she really isn’t. Aubergine is the literal definition of a gentle giant. All she wants is belly rubs, someone to stroke/caress her head, and to have her nose kissed. She follows Kuriza around everywhere and is often seen sleeping at the foot of his bed in his personal quarters at the Cold family’s royal palace. She will eat small mammals such as cats and dogs, however. Not because she is mean or malicious, but simply because her species are carnivorous and smaller animals are a part of their natural diet. Because of this, Kuriza has to really watch her and keep a close eye on her whenever he decides to let her run loose in a park on Earth.

Say hello to space doggo, Mojo, and his tired owner, yours truly. :’D 

He’s such a sweetie.
