titleknown:tyrantisterror:Drew some weird horses today.The Wild Catoblepas: one of the smallest species of behemoth on Midgaheim, this omnivorous giant is nigh invulnerable to most conventional and magic forms of attack.The Domesticated Catoblepas: After centuries of inbreeding by human wizards, domesticated catoblepases barely resemble their wild relatives. Their enlarged heads and weakened necks make them utterly reliant on humans for survival, and humans in turn harvest the valuable alicorn that makes up their horns, as well as their armored skin and magic-resistant wool.The Crowned Catoblepas: the smallest species of behemoth on Midgaheim, this elephant-sized mammal is still more than capable of trampling a human to death without breaking a sweat, though it’s more likely to gore them with its enormous alicorn horn.The Armored Unicorn: a rare variety of unicorn, this heavily armored mammal is larger than a mundane oxen and even more cantankerous.The Yale: aka the centicore or false unicorn, this beast’s two alicorn horns are somewhat articulate, able to twist around in their sockets.The (Un)Common Unicorn: despite common descriptions, this beast more resembles a deer than a horse, though neither are really its close kin. Intensely magical despite their small size, these creatures are much sought after for their miraculous powers and incredible beauty. Whether they are truly scarce in number or simply extremely good at avoiding humans is a matter of some debate.The Dwarf Unicorn: not much larger than a domesticated goat, this unicorn’s small size is deceiving, as it is no less magical than its larger brethren. Intensely intelligent and curious by nature, this unicorn’s front hooves have special digits to allow them to work as grasping appendages, which these unicorns have often used to pick the pockets of unaware humans. They are sometimes erroneously called “fairy unicorns” despite not hailing from Fairyland.The Pegasus: a chimera made of horse and bird components (generally eagle), these creatures have often been bred for use as flying mounts, despite their intensely aggressive natures.The Pegacorn: even though pegasi are already extremely ill-tempered and prone to throwing riders to their deaths when incensed, some humans decided they weren’t special enough and decided to make the same chimera with a unicorn in place of the horse. The resulting mix is an extremely dangerous creature, as the high magic power and inherent shyness of the unicorn is combined with the aggressive territoriality of the bird, resulting in a horribly powerful beast that really doesn’t care for humans trying to ride on it. …TT, were the Dwarf Unicorns inspired by MLP? Cause, even aside from the general vibe, the way you handled the hooves reminds me of @jayrockin‘s take on the MLP horses, and I mean that as a compliment! -- source link
