The Pink Eyed Wizlesnootch

The Pink Eyed Wizlesnootch is a slow moving herbivore most common in the lower Trehanshure region.  The Wizlesnootch has many natural predators, including the Wipplesnoogle and the Bandersnunk, and for protection travels in herds of indefinite sizes.  It is difficult to determine how many Wizlesnootches are in a heard, as it’s unusual tail looks like the top of it’s head, and most people who try doing a simple head count invariably count a number of tails as well.  In the late 19th century, attempts were made to domesticate the Wizlesnootch for farm labor, but to no avail.  Farmers were often confused as to which end was the head, and frequently saddled the animal backwards.  This reporter doesn’t believe that 19th Century Trehanshure farmers were any too bright.

The Striped-Back Sock Snatcher

The Striped-Back Sock Snatcher is a small creature fond of stealing and wearing old socks, preferably unmatched pairs. The Sock Snatcher is active across North America and parts of Europe.  Although it is rarely seen, if someone begins noticing an abundance of unmatched socks in the laundry, it is likely that the Sock Snatcher has absconded with their mates. Archaeologists have discovered mention of the Sock Snatcher in ancient Mesopotamian writings, which is surprising since the ancient Mesopotamian people did not wear socks. It is unknown what the Sock Snatcher snatched at that time.

This is the first in a planned series of blog posts: the Daily Creatures. Every day I will post a new, bizarre animal or monster of some sort.  Each will be drawn by me, and hopefully each it be completely different. It will be interesting to see what I do after the first few weeks, and I’ve gone through the obvious choices.  I don’t know how long I’ll keep it going, but I’m going to shoot for 30 days at least. We’ll see…

So without further ado, let me present Creature #1 

The Flame-Tailed Trynovore

Found primarily in the frozen Lymar Mountains. the Flame-Tailed Trynovore is known primarily for it’s remarkable flaming tail, which generates essential heat. The Trynovore is usually accompanied by other smaller animals that warm themselves by the fire. A very timid animal, sightings of the Trynovore by humans is exceptionally rare.  Because of this Early explorers believed that to actually see a Trynovore was an omen of long-life and a bountiful harvest.
