The Spiral Shelled Abyssal is a pelagic drake that is found across the globe. Despite the extreme dimorphism the Spiral Shelled Abyssal is actually a distant relative to the Sky Abyssal. 

This drake gets it’s name from it’s bizarre shell structure. Despite its impressive shape and size the shell is quite light and even aids in the drake’s buoyancy. Males and females are nearly identical however male’s shells will grow and spiral through it’s life. Much like the rings of a tree the number of spirals can help indicate age. 

While not particularly fast the Spiral Shelled abyssal can travel vast distances, feeding primarily on plankton and other small invertebrates. However they are not picky eaters and will feed on just about anything they can catch. 

Much like their airborne cousins the Spiral Shelled Abyssal are solitary and will only pair off during the mating season. Females will deposit their eggs in small batches, typically on rocks or floating plant life. Young Spiraled Shelled Abyssals are shell-less and will develop their signature shells as they age.

Dear collectors ~ Put this on your mantel this holiday season. It’s among the pieces I have specially priced thru Dec 24th. Scroll to my previous post to see the entire selection of available work. Continue reading below to learn about this particular piece.

"I have always been captivated by Art Nouveau and Art Deco, which is where I drew my inspiration for the style of this griffin. The idea for the arched feather antennae came from stylized Deco-era renditions of gazelle with their exaggerated flowing horns, a popular motif at that time. Genuine pearl eyes and 24 karat gold are among the details that add to the elegance of this piece "

TITLE: Absinthe DIMENSIONS: 21” x 12” x 12” MATERIALS: Animal skins over a sculpted clay armature with genuine pearl eyes. 24K gold leafed hoop (repurposed vintage ormolu vanity mirror frame) affixed to a custom-made riser. Hand-blown cloche from Poland atop a Victorian-style footed wooden base

"The iridescent green undertones of the black feathers inspired the title – 'Absinthe'. The purported hallucinogenic effect of its green liquor namesake is said to conjure figments and fantasies, which earned the anise-flavored spirit the nickname “The Green Fairy”. I have always thought the way early glass windows distort objects looks like a wavy dream sequence, so I chose a vintage cloche for this piece because the circumferential rings rippling downward from its crown imparted an ethereal feel to the creature within it "

Story in caption. Week 1 - Bake Kujira (#creatuanuary day 6)

Welcome, dear reader! I am so overjoyed - my editor endorsed a second volume of my travel journal. So we will travel once more the realm of Almaos. If you are new to this journey - me, I am Sally A. Wittiepen, gnomish writer extraordinaire, with a passion for traveling. To celebrate the new volume, I started with a very special treat. I am staying at the top secret research laboratories of Dungeon Corp, leading supplier to the most dungeon masters on Almaos. Although a geas blocks me from reporting on their ongoing research, they neglected to include their abandoned projects. So I can share the story of their Bake Kujira project. These cursed undead whale skeletons travel the sea, seeking revenge for their murder by whalers. The tragic souls who come across them will catch an evil curse. Unknowingly, they take it home, infecting and, in due course, eradicating their entire village. The researchers caught a Bake Kujira and took it to their research facility in order to market the curse to the most evil among their clients! Yet, they were too successful. The entire facility had to be abandoned, as the curse manifested so strongly that one got tainted by just glancing at the buildings. I don’t dare to imagine how Almaos would look, had the project succeeded.

I felt it was only right to wrap up Smaugust with an actual dragon...but since I’m in a place of fairy folk exploration I thought why not meld the two and give you the "Fairy Eater”.

A medium size drake, this dragon populates temperate forests, disguised as a harmless butterfly. The Fairy Eater is highly dimorphic and mirrors dozens of various butterfly species across the globe. While not exclusively a fairy eating dragon, fairies do make up a large portion of their diet.

The Banshee/Beansidhe: . It is the duty of the banshee or 'woman of the fairies' to foretell the death of an individual. Banshees are attached to particular families and their cry us only heard when a family member is about to die. Banshees are reported either to be young women of mournful aspect, or else to take the form of womanly creatures or hags. With eyes glazed white or red from weeping, she continually combs her hair with a gold or silver comb. The cries of the banshee are echoed by professional mourners or keeners 'bhean chaointe' who were engaged to maintain high piercing cries and moans or 'ochone' at a funeral wake. The very first being to set up a keening cry was the Irish goddess, Brighid, one of the Tuatha de Danaan; she wailed for the death of her only son, Rúadán, and that was the first keening ever heard in Ireland. I will be posting different kinds of banshee folklore in the near future! . Photo/edit: @jules_idunn thank you!
