my lil guys & the way i'm choosing to interpret them

antlers would not be conducive to a subterranean lifestyle, so i'm interpreting them as branched antennae/sensory organs. dusthides with the antlers gene are often nestkeepers- the thicker fur helps to keep eggs and young hatchlings warm in the cool underground, while the 'antlers' allow them to detect small changes indicating dangers or distressed hatchlings.

their bodies are closer to armor-plated badgers or weasels (depending on the individual) than armadillos, but armadillo-like ears help them detect the slightest sound or vibration from the surface above. some individuals have larger or smaller dewclaws, some even appearing to have only the large digging claws. they use these claws for breaking into termite mounds and anthills.

their wings are too small and their bodies too dense to fly- their wings are more often used to scrape dirt from the sides of tunnels. their tails are flat and somewhat curved, used to scoop out piles or dirt or pack it tightly to strengthen walls or smooth out floors.

I have again returned for my once-every-several-weeks posting of art!

This is my newest yakuza dude Shinobu [she/him]! I used her Kumo tert color for the waves of his Irezumi; which I'm still figuring out the centerpiece for but I will draw in-full later <3

If you like it, please rebl0g!

now we're composting, lads

I love mulch a lot, shaggy old man, he's not even done but I love him

Quick lore notes... he's the eldest of four. Four siblings? Four friends? Just four. He's not older than the others by much, but he'll never tell you how much it actually is. Days? Hours? Weeks? Seasons? Years?

He's secretive and always somehow happens to be in the right place at the right time. He tends to chatter to himself in the late hours while 'double-checking' everything in the lair.

Outside of that? He's just mulch.

okay i finalized this actually. here's the dragon it's for; she loves wasting her clan-paid time with the hoard making bouquets.
