What kind of wildlife is around in the Spirit World/Realm? The show had riding boars and river fish that I can remember, and if they grow things then the right kinds of little bees and gnats must be Around, but Just Those don't make for a full healthy environment, right?

We don't see a lot of animals in canon because animals are rarely a problem that shinigami have to deal with but some notes:

Thylacalines are not extinct in the spirit world! Actually, it's kind of a problem- Thylacalines will ONLY reincarnate as Thylacalines, and since there are none on earth, the entire peak population of them lives in the southern Rukongai. This is a problem unique to Thylacalines, as most extinct animals will reincarnate as other extant animals or humans or whatever, but nope. Not these assholes. Furthermore, killing a thylacaline in spirit world just makes it respawn elsewhere in the spirit world, as it was and with it's memory intact and those motherfuckers hold GRUDGES. They're also not native to any of the places the human souls in Soul society come from so nobody has a damn clue what they're doing here. Well, they know what they're doing- Mostly eating anything that will fit in their mouths and occasionally mauling people who don't respect their personal space- but why they're doing that HERE is unclear.

The Migratory Bird Act of Year 1066 was established shortly after the Seki-Seki stone wall and spirit barrier surrounding the Seireitei was established, and within the week, catastrophic numbers of birds died flying into the invisible barrier. The act was actually spearheaded by Yamamoto, who was immensely distraught by the unintentional carnage, and had to actually threaten the Central 46 with bodily harm to get them to legally change the Kido spell on the barrier to only block Sapient Souls and let the birds come and go as they please. It was a landmark legal case that established the soul society's remarkably robust environmental protections, and the Central 46's policy of isolation from the Shinigami, which would prove disastrously fatal to the organization almost 1,000 years later.

Many creatures we have on earth exist in Spirit world, but at massive Scale and varying degrees of intelligence. The Nago Boar was a wild boar of average porcine intelligence, but spectacular scale- 15 feet tall at the shoulder and many tons in weight. It was an infamous monster that made the Nago region borderline uninhabitable from it's rampages. It was one of the rare animals that became the problem for the Shinigami, who tried in vain to kill the beast for the better part of two centuries but unlike a Hollow who acts on instinct and has a very breakable mask, the boar was quite cunning and ended up with three zanpaktou lodged in it's cranium to no ill effect before the Gotei-13 decided to just pay the remaining farmers to leave in 1219. It was slain by a hired swordsman protecting a geological survey in 1308, and the battle was immortalized in the Epic Multi-scene Screen Painting "The Slaying of The Nago Boar" by Minami Zasso, who was working as a surveyor and illustrator when he witnessed the event firsthand. The swordsman in the painting is unnamed, but there is a persistent rumor that the distinctive facial scar of the unnamed swordsman matches that of Eleventh Division Captain Zaraki Kenpachi, but that would mean the man is at least 700, more likely over 1000 years old! Surely not!

The Eleventh Division has another peculiar association with an animal of ridiculous scale. In 1272, the annual "Ranking Day" tournament (in which the members of the 11th division and anyone bold enough to take part would battle for ranked positions in the division- including the right to be captain) took place outside the Seireitei in a relatively isolated area of the rukongai because 1271's Ranking Day had turned into an outright riot that destroyed part of the city. The commotion and blooshed attracted the attention of a supernaturally large Monitor Lizard, who joined the fray without hesitation, and devoured the 4th Kenpachi. Having met the requirements of "Defeat the standing captian in combat in front of 200 witnesses", and because nobody was brave enough to remove the captain's haori from where the lizard had become entangled in it, Tokagero Kenpachi was named the 5th captain of the 11th division. Tokagero Kenpachi remained captain of the 11th division for an astounding 234 years, the longest reign of any Kenpachi, and via highly suggestive hissing and occasionally eating people she disagreed with, lead several important reforms within the division like "Pants Required" and "No showing up to work drunk" and "instituting the first 5-day work week and successful labor strike in Soul Society" though that last one was mostly the work of her long-suffering lieutenant, but her apparent taste for strikebreakers certainly helped the cause. Tokagero Kenpachi was lost in the infamous Tonsure Riots of 1606 when she vanished down an open manhole cover and into the sewers. No body was ever recovered, and her wherabouts remain unknown to this day.

Hi, Erica! I was wondering if I may request a Dick Grayson imagine where the Reader and him know each other from school, and while the Reader is at a soda shop or something Batman and Robin show up. They recognize his voice but is confused when they see Robin instead and Robin gets nervous because he can see them figuring it out. So maybe Batman has to intervene?

(A/N: Hehehehe. But also: gosh darn, time to put the pen to work because I don't shut up about fandom ideas. Hi!

Also: Ah, crap. It was supposed to be an imagine??? Uh, for now this imagine is complete. Might add a part 2 or something.)

~~~

"Soda For Your Thoughts" Dick Grayson x Reader

On a weekday, the best time of day was after school. No question about it. The brain finally had a break from the hours worth of information intake.

The time between school's last bell and the start of homework was sacred. Short and full of possibilities. Anything could happen in Gotham City.

°.•*

Speeding down the open road into the city was more than business, it was important to the citizens. Arriving to a local soda shop for clues was top priority. The Penguin was up to his foul deeds again.

Without knowing what the tricky bird was up to, the dynamic duo were on their way to find out just that.

Time was ticking, but Robin always had faith that he and Batman could figure it out.

°.•*

You were due for free time. It was only fair. Most of your mornings were spent leaning over a desk with a pencil in hand. Not much choice in that.

Sipping a cold soda did just the trick. It also gave you moments to process your day. The sweetness seeming to light up your day.

"Looks like there are plenty of eyes here." A familiar voice grasped your attention.

Dick Grayson, you thought. A smile pulled at your lips before you fully looked towards the entrance in search of the well-dressed student.

Your excitement upon expecting the boy from class dropped. Who you saw instead was the famed Batman and Robin. The pair stepped with purpose.

What? But I heard him.

How could it be? Were you mistaken?

Your shoulders slumped.

The owner of the soda shop met the caped heroes in a poorly hushed tone. Not that you could blame him. The Penguin had visited not too long ago, but not for a tasty beverage.

Good thing there was no ill intent given to any of the customers, you included.

"Hmm." You grabbed for your drink again, but his voice interrupted.

"Excuse me." Robin walked up to you. "Did you see the Penguin when...he...." He swallowed.

Curiosity had struck you. Not only was the young hero's voice familiar, but his masked face was strikingly like someone you knew. Not a face one passed in the halls. Not brown hair combed just so by anyone.

"Uh." Robin stood still. Watching you study him unabashed.

Blue eyes decorated by black. Intelligent eyes you'd seen before. Ones you would never forget in a hundred years.

"Batman." He said and nothing more. Pivoting on the floor, yellow cape swishing.

The called caped crusader turned and walked over to the younger man. "What is it, Robin?"

You blinked, head tilted sightly.

His eyes, you thought. Those were the same wide eyes looking at me when I said I aced the pop quiz last week.

°.•*

Holy flipping stomachs, Robin thought. His eyes trying to focus on anything else in the shop as he pretended not to notice. Trying his best to act professional. To be Robin not Richard Grayson.

What such luck did he have?

Rotten luck.

Your gaze burned into the side of his cranium even as Batman asked you for any useful information. No doubt you had some.

In school you were always attentive and observant. That surely meant you would be helpful with the new case, but the way you looked at him...as if his mask was barely on his face.

You talked, but Robin couldn't make out your words between the sounds in the shop and his mind. White noise of panic.

Holy multitasker, he thought as he chanced a quick glance over his shoulder. Rubbing his gloved fist, he couldn't help his anxiety.

What if you knew?

A light clap to his shoulder and Robin flinched.

"Easy there, old chum." Batman chuckled. "We might just have our next clue."

"That's great." His words closer to a murmur.

"Everything alright?"

Blinking and hitting his opened palm with his fist, Robin bounced back. "We have a lead. Let's go." Without delay, the young man scurried out of the shop.

Relief hit him as soon as he was in open air. Making a quick jump into the Batmobile was easy. The look Batman set him with, not so much.

"What is it, Batman?"

"You couldn't talk to your schoolmate. How come? You've done it before."

"Not with them," Robin said much too quickly. "I--they just... I felt like they saw me. No mask--no anything!"

"Easy, Robin. I saw it too. We'll have to come up with something if they question you."

Groaning, Robin slouched in his seat.

"But for now." He buckled his seatbelt. "We have a Penguin to capture."

"Right!"

Welcome back!! Fellow spoonie here, and I Know how it feels to lose steam due to chronic pain and fatigue (*gestures to the multiple art projects that have been left as works-in-progress for months thanks to unforgiving joint pain*). I'm slowly getting my energy back and I hope you feel better too!

For a warm-up, how about some headcanons for Punishing Bird befriending an employee? It's so friend-shaped when it's not trying to eat your agents and the thought of someone having a tiny murder tit sleeping on their shoulder as they work is too funny and adorable

Hello once more! Eheh a bit delayed but here it is at last. Limbus Company’s release has really injected me with inspiration so I’m hoping to release this alongside multiple others. Thank you for the well wishes and understanding cause man, medical problems are wacky, and hope you’re doing just as well!

Punishing Bird Befriending an Employee Headcanons:

Okay so befriending this bird is a wild experience. Perhaps it has taken a very special liking to you- whether a new or old employee it sees a sense of justice within you leading to it to act the way it does.

Often whenever it breaches and ventures throughout the facility it doesn’t really take breaks outside of being a nuisance and smacking its small beak against someone’s cranium.

No one really does anything or interacts with the bird, everyone’s too freaked out about it snapping open its jaws and eating them. A reasonable fear, but a passed up opportunity you seized.

It’s a bird.. So why not bring some bird seed? Sure it’s not really the most traditional version of the animal but hey.. It’s worth a try.

I think Punishing Bird would see it as a sort of offering of gratitude for the hard work it does (pecking people). This is something that stirs its affinity towards you. Most people duck and take cover, or just keep speeding up so it can eventually land on something else to harass. But an offering? Well..

The thing is so adorable picking at the seeds tossed on the ground in the hallway. As deadly as it is, it's just so cute.

That said the first time it lands on your shoulder? It’s horrifying. Now yes you’ve been having good experiences with the abnormality but no one really knows or has an idea of what is deemed as ‘aggressive behavior’. That’s why no one does anything.

It’s just hanging out there… like you’re a perch? Well given the new scenario you’re likely to be as still as one. But.. there is work to get to and your reports aren’t going to look great if you sit around doing nothing.

So I imagine you’d give a try at moving and.. Would you look at that you’re not immediately dead! Sure it’s going to take some testing on just what this little bird will permit you to do in its presence but progress is being made.

Generally befriending this abnormality would be super beneficial to you. Asides from it just being great emotional support when it nests on your head and cuddles up in its own feathers, it also encourages things not to mess with you whether that’s people or other abnos.

Something trying to hurt you? What a fool. Its beak snaps open and devours whatever it is whole. If your uniform isn’t already a mess from the work day than it is now, that’s the price to pay for protection.

Sadly you would not be able to bring it into the other containment rooms due to protocol. Management doesn’t want to run the risk of unintentionally finding a deadly combo of abnormalities.. And depending on the behavior of what you’re working with, Punishing Bird might try to pick a fight.

This little bird has a voracious appetite. It will flutter on by, sit on your shoulder and try to snag a bite of whatever you’re eating for lunch. Whether you want to or not you will be sharing your meal.

Being in the same room every day can be sort of boring and believe it or not Punishing Bird in a lot of aspects is just a regular bird. It needs just as much enrichment. Am I saying that you should bring little knick knacks and toys for it to play with? Yes.

It doesn’t really peck at you much anymore, that said it still will bite and try to pull at your hair every once in a while like it's gathering some kind of material. It hurts a little bit but it's the same as a dog or cat play-biting.

Don’t underestimate this bird’s grip. It has talons of steel and will absolutely lock down on whatever it is standing on and will not let go. It’s also pretty hard to stir awake from its sleep, so even if you’re running for your life you can rest assured knowing that it won’t fall face first on the floor.

Brings little trinkets back to you, most of which it’s stolen off of the other employees. Sometimes it makes for interesting interactions when your colleague notices you have their missing charm…

It doesn’t make much sound aside from the small beating of its wings which causes it to unintentionally be very sneaky when it isn’t midair. You might not even realize it until you feel a small pressure and realize that you are now no longer alone.

With how light it is sometimes you only realize when you start getting stared down by the other employees. Some of them are used to it, while the others are pretty concerned. You get treated with far more respect under the watching eyes of the Punishing Bird.

Do ant of ur OCS give cute nicknames? I'm a slut for adorable tearms of endearment 🥺🥺🥺

a/n: MEE TOOO BITXH ME TOO

eun-jeong yoo ★ profile

he's a vet thru and thru babey!

calls you puppy, bunny, his baby panda, his little sloth

literally any animal that reminds him of you

will also call you jagiya which is a term of endearment in korean

whenever he calls you that, his face gets a little hot just becos he learned that word from his parents

and like the thought of the two of you one day being parents, living together, being married-- it kills him forreal

liam anthony arieh ★ profile

does he worship the ground you walk on? not really. does it stop him from calling you his goddess, his god, his angel, his otherworldly deity sent from heaven above to bless his life? also no

calls you his little pomegranate, especially if your favourite fruit is pomegranate or you're a little round like a pomegranate

especially calls you that when you're all flustered and your cheeks are hot and he immediately compares your cheeks to pomegranates

gavin ciarán byrne ★ profile

calls you various bird names for no other reason than because he likes birds which is really annoying

like he'll say you're looking especially cute today, my little finch or what are you looking around like a clueless little robin for?

and yes, in case you're wondering, ducks are included in that list of bird names

in fact, he calls you his little ducky more often than not loool and its for no other reason than he just loves ducks and he thinks they're cute

just like you!

ayaka yamato ★ profile

boring bitch

calls you baby or babe and thatse it

but if you return that energy? if you are boring with your nicknames to her? to what should be the literal sunshine in your life, personification of all that is good that has ever happened to you, the love of your life?

well, let's just say you wouldn't get away scot-freee

ryuunosuke yamamoto ★ profile

boring bitch pt. 2

might call you cute stuff like his teddy bear, his honey bear, his little honey bee but thatse it

mostly calls you wifey (gender neutral), baby, babe, etc

if you called him any nicknames tho? over the moon, absolutely enamored, his heart exploded into a million pieces, he'll never recover from this every

fujio watanabe ★ profile

boring bitch pt. 3

calls you mami/papi, wifey (also gender neutral), sweetie, baby, babe, blah blah blah

this guy is a muscle-head. the only thing in that cranium of his is just more muscle. he does not have a single romantic cell in his entire body

he isn't even thankful if you call him like a cute nickname. sometimes? he'll cringe and make fun of you, actually

straight to jail

gawain dubhán byrne ★ profile

the exact opposite of fujio

this mans has only romantic cells, nothing else

my man's brain is made up of sonnets and poems and love stories only!

calls you old school stuff like my darling, my love, my heart, my sweet, the love of my life, my doll, my angel!

he's super extra about it too. think gomez from the addams family. presses kisses against the back of your hand, the nape of your neck, your temple, all the while muttering sweet nothings

I got to give belly scritches to both ginger cats this morning but my phone crashed right as I tried to get photos (I think it might be model specific, the LG G5 crashes repeatedly if the charge is under 60% and will not start at all if it's under about 45). They also played with the string of the dog lead before getting distracted with a brotherly play fight.

I've been stuck unable to craft or do much except rest after pulling my left shoulder somehow. Neck neuralgia is so stupid. Arm hurty so gonna make your eyes not work and woopsie doo brain feels too big for the back of your cranium in a way that's going to ramp up into pain so odd it'll feel like you don't have a body just a big ache that outlines the exact shape of your skull from the inside.

Felt sane enough to try a little konmari without throwing out baby and bath with the bathwater. I could tell the difference between aesthetic enjoyment and nostalgia, personal spark vs rarity/sunk cost but it passed within five minutes. I was looking at newer monster highs and some work in progress that can't currently be finished that I've displayed with mixed dolls and couldn't get the clarity and then doubts took over.

So next time: fully dressed dolls among their similar shaped/unfinished 'peers' and try again.

Still not doing the craft supplies, it's too fraught. It could really do with some reorganising but I could so very easily give away all the painstakingly collected stashes because of the uncertainty that comes with neck injury and the big worry that comes with the pain.

Like I'm currently struggling with taps (faucets?) and spreading butter so everything handicraft related feels slightly threatening. There's no pressure except a very limited amount of personal space and clutter blindness.

Paperwork and email inbox sorting is on hold because it got out of hand and is going to take some courage 😂😁

Getting registered to vote is proving difficult: they want paperwork to prove I lived in British addresses from before I was ten: they have my birth certificate and passport details but I wasn't exactly on the bills or receiving official mail as a kid. If they really cared, they could see my NHS records but I suspect they want 'expats' only not emigrants, the types with a second home, double citizenship or who left after retirement. It was open to any brits but they want proof of diplomas (16+), work payslips and bills. I had a bank account at 7 (granddad felt it was a very important rite of passage to have one even though I didn't get an allowance) but that doesn't count either. Frustrating.

I'm very fond of late winter, the skies are spectacular and you get to see the frost sparkle as the sun rises. I don't mind wearing double socks because there are no mosquitos. The slap in the face that is cold wind makes any heated building feel magically cozy and the birds make a racket up til 7 thirty. Even saw what looked like a bat this morning but I don't know what they eat in this weather or if they hibernate. Off to wikipedia.

AHHAJVDKASJNS IM REALLY GLAD YOU LIKE MY SILLY AU! I would draw something for it but 1) art block hates me, and 2) tumblr still won't let me send images. That being said I have more thoughts. Generally I don't think the parasites in the au switch bodies very often, they use whichever one they we laid in as an egg p much forever unless it's irreparably damaged. With that in mind while I don't think Wilson would be going around body-snatching people (he can't control a living body anyway) he could absolutely just crawl in somebody's ear and chill in their cranium. Like imagine Maxwell early in the morning wondering why Wilson's still in bed when Wilson(bug) crawls out of his ear and when he gets back to his own body he's like "hey- Stop screaming that was me! Hey did you know-" and then proceeds to ramble about the human brain for ten minutes while Maxwell just stands there horrified. Wilson is still a nerd I think, he'd be really interested in the human body and would absolutely take the opportunity to study a living one now that he has the chance. Also his ass is NOT eating cucumber he's an obligate carnivore. He needs to eat at least his own weight in red meat a day, preferably human. he can eat other meat but it upsets his stomach, esp. white meat like birds or fish. And he can eat veg and stuff in small amounts but it's likely to make him sick. My silly high-maintenance freak <3

-Rexcake

AW I LOVE THAT 😭😭 too bad Maxwell is an adult now cuz if he was still in school he’d force Wilson to help him cheat LMAOO his freak boyfriend who is a freak

Imagine a day where he couldn’t find someone to eat so he’s like please oh please cut off your finger so I can eat it… come on Maxxy…don’t be a bad boyfriend….

While the rest of the Hexside students distract Kikimora, our heroes have just enough time to draw up the complicated teleportation circle… with a bit of help from Luz’ palisman, who has yet to take on its true final form.

Kikimora is able to shake off the attacking kids long enough to take one last shot, just as Luz activates the teleportation array and and a brilliant flash of light, their whisked away from danger and into the vast cranium of the Titan.

There they stand now, under The Collector’s Archive House, so close, yet so far away. For I fear that the hardest part is yet to come…

Listen, I don’t know anything about Star Trek, but I do know that ”Beam us up Scotty” is a Star Trek reference. So yeah, shoutout to that, as well as Camila coming out as a fellow Cosmic Frontier fan, which also doubles as a light-hearted reference to the fact that Hunter, like O’Bailey, is a clone.

And let’s not forget Amity and Willow being best friends again, that’s super precious too. You love to see it.

Alright, first things first, I love the guesses the squad had.

Camila guessed a dragon, because dragons are THE fantasy creature, and she knows how much Luz loves her fantasy books.

Hunter guesses a bird, not just because of Flapjack, but because Eda (and the rest of the Clawthorne family) has a bird palisman.

Amity guesses an otter, which is a callback to Enchanting Grom Fright, when Luz wondered if she should go to Grom dressed as an otter… with a dark side!

Willow guesses a bat because…. because… um… Bat-Queen? Maybe? They did have that excursion in the Bat-Queen’s forest back in Escape of the Palisman.

And finally, Gus throws out snake. And I’m going to be honest with you guys, I might’ve maybe had a few hints at what Luz’ palisman was gonna be. Enough to figure out it was a snake, or more accurately, snake-related.

As far as in-show foreshadowing goes… at the top of my head, last episode we had a bunch of snake imagery around Luz. We had her finding the ”snake pajamas” in Camila’s nightmare/flashback, we had Luz wearing that shirt with a staff and a snake on it, and I think she might’ve had a drawing of a snake in her notebook? As far back as episode one of season one, Luz was playing with snakes and I think Camila might’ve even said something about Luz making some friends that weren’t reptiles. That’s not even to mention the fact that Luz’ newly adopted sister is a snake.

So yeah, there’s been plenty of snakes around Luz. But of course, this isn’t just any old snake, it’s a…

A SNAKESHIFTER. You guys know I love a good pun. And just like Vee, this little cutie is a shapeshifter. Which is so perfect for Luz, the child of two worlds, a chaotic being, always on the move.

Her name is Stringbean! Now, David ”Stringbean” Akeman was an American singer-songwriter, musician, comedian, and semi-professional baseball player. String bean is also one alternate name for green beans. You can also call them haricot verts, if you wanna charge extra.

So yeah, I gotta agree with Luz here: she’s perfect! She is Luz' own infinite potential given physical form.

Now that things have calmed down just a little, Willow takes the opportunity to thank Hunter for his words before, he really helped her, and he means a lot to her too. and then they blush and almost hold hands and it’s so cute.

In fact, it’s almost a little too cute, I’m starting to get nervous here. Because surely, they’re gonna end the episode on a cliffhanger, and there’s only just over a minute left of the episode…

But before that, I’m gonna get what might very well be the last cute screenshot of this episode.

Look at the babies! Look at them!

Aaaaaaand there we have it. Good vibes ended. The camera pans upward to The Collector overlooking our heroes, with Raine still possessed by Philip looming behind them, ready to whisper yet more poisonous words into the ear of the Lord of the Fireflies.

”I think I wanna play a new game.”

And with a snap of their fingers, The Collector ends the episode right then and there as everything goes black.

Treat me like I'm evil Freeze me till I'm cold Beat me till I'm feeble Grab me till I'm old

Fry me till I'm tired Push me till I fall Treat me like a criminal Just a shadow on the wall!

🦴 Skeleton 3D model MEGA LIST - Free! Links galore! 🦴

All these animal anatomy studies got me looking for free bones on the internet. Did you know that many museums and institutions have uploaded scans of their collections on Sketchfab? Further, did you know many of them can be downloaded for free? I’ve assembled an extensive list below of some Sketchfab galleries that have lots of great references.

Interestingly, there are a myriad of skulls to be found but whole skeletons are a little more rare. I sorted these based on whether the galleries had whole skeletons and whether the models could be downloaded. I threw in a few notable shops too since you can view the models in the browser-based viewer for free.

Whole Skeletons: Downloadable 3D models

Idaho Virtualization Laboratory: Absolutely massive collection featuring hundreds of individual bones. Check out the Complete Skeleton collection or the Modern Osteology collection for lots of craniums and skulls.

Natural History Museum Vienna: a good selection of full skeletons plus scanned specimens.

The University of Edinburgh: This collection is on the small side, but has a few interesting, complete skeletons to look at.

Natural Sciences Museum of Barcelona A huge collection with an assortment of skulls and skeletons.

Mammal Research Institute: many skulls with the occasional whole skeleton.

Auckland Museum: Someone went to incredible lengths to document every single bone of the Moa bird. Scroll down for an assembled skeleton and a scattering of scanned taxidermy animals.

Whole Skeletons: Not downloadable 3D models

Biodiversity: absolutely massive collection of skulls with tons of rodents and a unique focus on dentition. There are complete skeletons mixed throughout.

Nebraska Public Media: Skulls with a smattering of complete skeletons.

Blackburn Lab: Lots of great stuff in this one: complete skeletons, comparative anatomy, some soft tissue anatomy, and of course lots of skulls.

Aquarium-Museum of Liège: A small collection of skeletons.

Artist-Joana Maria: Antlers and a few full skeletons of extinct animals.

Museum of Natural History: A moderately sized but nice collection of complete dinosaur skeletons!

Whole Skeletons: For Sale

Animals & Pets 3D Models: This is one of the largest selections of complete skeletons on Sketchfab. The only caveat is I’m not sure how scientifically accurate they are.

Puppy3D: While this gallery is mostly animals for sale, there are some unique skeletons scattered in there. It’s also nice having animal bodies to reference.

3D Big Game : Mostly scanned specimens, but a good resource for comparing antlers and horns. Downloadable for pay.

Artist-Yacine Brinis: This person mostly sells model packs, but they do have some nice skull packs as well as a couple complete skeletons.

Skulls: Downloadable

Witmer Lab at Ohio University: This collection emphasizes bird, reptile, and dinosaur skulls with some interesting anatomy such as brains and vascular systems included.

Natural History Museum Imaging: this one has a lot of individual bones and fossil scans to sift through, but it features an interesting assortment of whale craniums.

RISD Nature Lab: an incredible assortment of hundreds of scanned specimens ranging from seashells, taxidermized specimens, and of course lots of skulls.

Museum of the University of Valencia of Natural History: Lots of fossils, lichens, and shells with a scattering of interesting skulls. Check out the collection section for vertebrate skulls, bird skulls and early hominid apes.

University of Dundee Museum Collections: Mostly skulls with a few scanned specimens and some invertebrate models.

University of Wyoming Libraries: A massive gallery with skulls and many bone fragments. The Museum of Vertebrates collection is going to be your best bet.

Professor - Eric Bauer: A smaller collection of a few skulls and individual bones, but they are high quality.

Paleontology Lab at the Université de Liege: A nice selection of both extinct and extant animal skulls.

Skulls: not downloadable

California Academy of Sciences: So. Many. Skulls. Be sure to explore their collections for easier browsing!

Holliday Lab: Incredibly detailed views of reptile and avian facial anatomy.

Evans EvoMorph Lab: this collection has an emphasis on skulls, but what makes it notable is that many of the models have animated articulation.

Veterinarian Anatomy Munich: Ever wonder what the second premolar of a pig looks like? This resource is for you! While it emphasizes individual bones, they have been sorted into collections for easier viewing. Please note that this gallery features scans of preserved soft tissues such as muscles and organs. If you’re expecting dry bones, it may be a little shocking.

hello. do u have any tips on designing a humanoid bird? specifically the beak situation?

It depends a lot on the style of beak you want to use, and how humanoid you want them to be. Here is a look at a more avian style, copying traits from real bird skulls.

(image description: image 1 shows simplified sketches of bird skulls. A parrot, which has a flexible upper beak, an owl with large front-facing eyes, and an eagle with a strong beak. below this, a humanoid bird skull which utilizes traits of all three, specifically noting the use of a flexible upper beak. Image 2 is a close up faded view of the bird person skull with a bright blue outline over it to show what the face would look like with flesh and feathers. It kind of resembles a cross between a pigeon and a parakeet. end description)

so this option is way more bird-like, essentially just an anthropomorphic bird. the beak being segmented and flexible allows for a lot more expressive movement, and I retained the orbital ring pretty much all birds have. this makes it impossible for them to move their eyes without moving their whole head.

But assuming perhaps you want a more humanoid look, I also offer this example of my own weird human-bird hybrid folks, the Quetzalin.

(image description: two simplified drawings of a skull, one with the face outlined over top. The skull resembles an elongated human skull in the cranium, with a thick lower jaw. In the front half, it bears more resemblance to a simplified dinosaur skull. The nasal cavity uses smaller holes rather than a large opening, there are some teeth along the jaw, and a beak-like tooth protruding from the front of the upper jaw. The outline of a face on the second image shows angular humanoid features with a flat nose and feathers covering the cheeks and head. The beak tooth is visible, poking out of the upper lip. end description)

the beak tooth could be much bigger or smaller, or even flattened down to be more like the triangle teeth on the splatoon characters, so it goes under the lips. I like to do just an upper beak tooth, but you could add a lower one too. And the nose shape could be made more bird-like, just open holes like a vulture maybe.

Basically it ranges from "that's just a whole beak" to "those are some weirdly triangular teeth" and you can experiment with it to decide where on the scale you want your design to land.

I've asked this before, but do you mind explaining the structure and function of the brains of inklings and octolings?

Sorry I saw the first ask but I've been too busy to finish putting it all together til now!!! But yes let's dive into it:

Splatoon Biology Musings Part 22: Brain

Cephalopods (well, at least coleoids) are renowned for their intelligence. The cephalopod brain is the largest relative to body size of all invertebrates; the brain-to-body-mass ratio higher than that of living reptiles, only beaten in the animal kingdom by mammals and birds. Their brains are more complex than those of rats. Cephalopods have remarkable learning capability, spatial reasoning, problem-solving ability, and social behavior. It isn't surprising, therefore, that Inklings and Octolings have taken the next step and evolved full sapience.

The structure of the cephalopod brain is interesting. It's donut-shaped. It's basically a mass of nerve cells that wraps around the esophagus. If a cephalopod swallows something too big, it could cause brain damage.

Diagram of an octopus brain

Unlike the human brain, the cephalopod brain is made of many small lobes. The common octopus has over 30. Several of them have direct analogues to parts of the human brain, others don't. There are two lobes of the brain that are just used for controlling the color of the chromatophores, for example (side note: Inklings and Octolings probably also use these lobes to change ink color). Meanwhile, the massive optic lobes aren't part of the main donut, and can be found to the side, behind the eyes. I don't see any reason why this would change in Inklings and Octolings; their brains are probably made out of an assortment of small lobes with specific functions.

While the general donut layout is probably more or less the same in swim form, it probably wouldn't fly in humanoid form. The Inkling neck is thin, the brain can't fit there. Therefore, the brain shape probably changes. During transformation, the nerve cells are rearranged and clumped inside the head, above the mouth and behind the eyes - same spot as in vertebrates. The presence of many small lobes probably makes this easier. I'm picturing the brain basically being taken apart lobe-by-lobe, and then put back together again. May sound gross, but all aspects of transformation do if you think about it too much.

The brain in cephalopods is surrounded by a cartilaginous cranium. The cranium is still softer than bone, but is tough enough relative to the surrounding tissues to prevent brain damage when squished. This cartilage probably supports the relatively large Inkling/Octoling head in humanoid form, and possibly helps strengthen the neck to hold it.

So now I've discussed the central brain a bit, let's get to the megasquid in the room. No, cephalopods do not have a brain in each of their arms. Basically, ancestrally mollusks have neurons distributed throughout the body. In cephalopods, a bunch of these neurons massed together to form the brain, but a bunch of them also massed together at the base of each of the arms. These bundles of neurons don't have a consciousness or anything, and can't operate independently of the central brain. But they do help with preliminary processing of sensory information, and some stereotyped nuances of arm movement seem to be controlled entirely by these bundles. It's hard to describe what this would be like, but here's the best analogy I could come up with (sort-of modeled after this study): if you were, I don't know, reaching into a large bag to grab a Rubik's cube, your hand could finagle around in there (in a specific movement pattern that'd happen whenever you did this) and process the feel of the inside of the bag by itself, without needing to send anything to the brain until it felt the cube. Anything that the arm does by itself happens only in response to info the arm can get by itself (so basically touch, position, heat, etc.); any input from other senses has to be processed by the brain. And your brain would still need to tell your arm to reach into the bag for the Rubik's cube, and then pull it out once it found it. If you cut your arm off, it could feel it surroundings by itself for a while and maybe move in certain reflexive ways in response, but it wouldn't be able to make any other decisions on its own.

(I'll also note that cuttlefish and octopus might do more in-the-arm information processing than squids do. Cuttlefish and octopi hang around the seafloor, so they're getting a lot of sensory info from feeling things on the seafloor. Squids tend to live in more open water, so they're getting more of their sensory info from eyesight, and that has to go through the brain)

Inklings and Octolings probably retain a broader distribution of neurons to a degree, but I'm not sure how much. Moving onto land would change things for them in terms of sensory input - they're getting more info from eyesight, smell, and hearing now, and all that has to go through the brain. And they aren't using their arms to get sensory info as much as their water-dwelling ancestors did, especially not in humanoid form. So I'd expect the neuron concentrations at the base of each arm to be reduced, leaving more tasks and sensory processing to the central brain. But it might kinda cool if a little bit of this was retained. Could be useful when using some ink weapons, perhaps.

Also, random fun fact: cephalopod memory doesn't degrade with age like it does in humans (at least not in cuttlefish). So, at over 130 years old, Cap'n Craig Cuttlefish is still perfectly fit to lead the New Squidbeak Splatoon if he wants to.

the Devil is in the Details

in inventory: email From: Mia Winters Sent: July 18, 2017 11:04PM Tuesday To: Ethan Winters Dulvey, Louisiana. Baker farm. Come get me.

simple to the point almost as if the sender was worried to much might alert Ethan to some thing. I know the common thoughts is Mia did actually send this but my main thought is when? as she is in the cell has been since late 2015 and the doors are locked

Jacks diary: rec room. for timelines sake these are Oct 2014

October 2 Reports say a storm's coming. I had a lot of trouble cleaning up after the last one a few years back. I guess it's time to reinforce the windows and shore up the roof. Maybe I'll get Lucas to help.

October 9 The water has finally receded. The house is alright, but the old house was badly damaged. Lucas is making a fuss about a huge ship that's washed up in the bayou. If that's true, I better report it to the parish. I'll go check it out tomorrow.

Travis memo: drawer in safe room

Dear Courtney,Those bastards are looking for me, but maybe this gives you a chance to escape.To escape, you have to find the reliefs shaped like dog heads. I saw one of the heads in the dissection room underground. Get it. It's the key out of here. Something's wrong with me. It must have been that shit they made me eat. If I'm gonna die, I'd at least like to go out fighting.I'm gonna get a hold of that shotgun I saw in the rec room and make them regret what they did to me. You need to get out of here. I love you, Courtney. Love, Travis

a guy doing his best to help his love get away (this is the guy who Jack mentions in the memo we also find in the rec room who caused the stronger shotgun to be broken)

how to unlock the door in the morgue

Lucas,I caught the guy who keeps trying to escape. I've locked him up in the leftmost incinerator so he can't get away again. Take him out when he's ready.You know how to open the door, don't you? Just remember: 3 a's and a handprint. Do what you want with his girl.

this is Travis this is what happens to him. My main problem is what happened to Courtney? the least thing is her turning into Molded but it takes a time

Mrs Baker: locked room attached to the rec room

How have you been feeling recently? It's been a long time since you came in for your last check-up. I'm writing to tell you that I've finished examining your X-rays. Those dark areas in your cranium are fungus-like structures that seem to be related to mold. The hallucinations and noises you said you've been hearing may be related to these growths. If your symptoms are due to a fungal parasite, it must be removed before it's too late. I don't mean to scare you, but I am seriously concerned for your health.Please come to the hospital as soon as you read this letter. As your doctor, I strongly recommend you undergo further tests.Crawford Lang,Dulvey General Hospital

But I find that fungus like structures bit interesting I can't remember who thought about it playing RE4R and what Ramon was doing but this is for them.

Zoe's notes: trailer

My body's feeling weirder and weirder. Soon I'll become like mom and dad. It's all her fault. Should I run? No, I can't. I'm dead if she finds out. That woman she was with, Mia, She knows something. If I had the serum I could cure myself. I have to find out more.

I wonder when this was written. I think its around the time Mia got locked up (because having a talk with someone violent can be a bit difficult) and I wonder if this was the cataylist for them trying to help people (I doubt it was Zoe doing it on her own. She still had to learn how to combine the d series arm and head to get the basic serum)

Margurites warning Old House bird door

Zoe, You tried to sneak up to the second floor again, didn't you?! Did you think I wouldn't notice?!?! Even after what happened to Eveline, you just keep talking about some strange medicine. And what are you planning to do with my altar? You better keep those sticky fingers off of it! Nobody touches my sacred altar! You think your father and I are idiots?! You spoiled pathetic child….I wish youd NevEr been born. UnforGIVably pathetic yet always lookingDOWN on uS aNd trying to Leave our HOME! After EVERYthing WE'VE done for YOU… PatheticPATHETICpathetic pathetic…If you EVER even touch my altar I'll slice off your chest and serve it up as potroast…

first the idea of Zoe trying to reach through to her parents but Evies control was too much for them

second these were written at two different times. the first half being Margurite being more like herself and the other half that just sounds angry? It seems more like Evie would say that to be honest

Margurites Diary

October 11 My ears have been ringing all day and I haven't been able to sleep since the child showed up. It's like Zoe says: There's something strange about the child, and the woman she brought with her.

-Evie has been at the Baker house for a little under a day (she arrived on the Oct 10th) so Margurites sleep schedule must be very regular for her to notice it being messed up.

-Its a interesting choice of words talking about how strange Evie and Mia are and who brought what (maybe Margurite was dreaming the ship wreck and how it got destroyed)

October 15 I'm seeing things, hearing things, can't stop feeling nauseious. I went to see the doctor in town and he gave me an X-ray. What's happening to me?

October 23 The child gave me a present.

October- I put the present in the secret room right at the back of the second floor, where nobody will find it. That arm is a sign of the child's trust. That arm will lead us to happiness1 And anyone who corrupts that happiness... I won't allow them to live.

1ahem cult cult cult cult. all jokes aside considering what we know of Miranda and the word choice in daughters

corruption meaning: to make someone or something become dishonest or immoral

Jim's letter: Wrecked ship bunk room 1st Deck (where the fuse is)

Dear Janet, Hey, how's it going? I guess half a year or so will have passed by the time you get this letter. Life is so boring here. Day after day, just the same old sea. Although there is one thing that's different.This time we have some passengers sailing with us, which hardly ever happens.It's a couple with a young girl. I think they're distant relatives of the captain. Imagine, traveling on a tanker instead of a passenger ship. They must be hard up! I tried talking to the little girl earlier and her dad shot me this nasty look. What's he so worried about? Now that I think of it, the captian said he didn't even have any relatives… Maybe I'm overthinking this. I miss you. Love, Jim

a little hint of time to how long the Annabelle was expected to be at sea (mentioned in my Mia and Alan post)

poor Jim I wonder how he died. I wonder how Janet is doing as she like every other person waiting for news on the crew was feeling. I wonder if anyone else was suspicious about Mia, Alan and Evie.

Giovannis Will Bunk room 1st deck

It's too late for us, but at least I can let the world know what happened here. I was on night shift yesterday, so I was taking a nap in the bunk room around noon. I was half asleep and I heard a kid, a little girl, laughing. Or was that all in my head? I woke up at 19:30: there was some sort of ruckus in the passageway. Drew, one of the engineers, came in and said there was something going on down below, maybe a riot. He looked pale in the face. He told me he was going down to check it out, but he never came back. It must have been around 19:50 when I heard the scream. I went to the laundry room to check and saw Clark being eaten by some sort of black-ish monster. The monster turned and started coming towards me, huge, shark-like teeth snapping in its jaw. I just screamed like a little girl and ran for it. Now I'm huddled up in the bunk room, shaking as I write this. There's a whole host of those creatures lurking in the passageways now. I can still hear screams now and then, but there's no way I'm going out there now. And that's it: I've written everything I know. Giovanni Finetti

depending on how you play the wrecked ship you can find before you play the tape. Giovanni was infected at some point because he heard Evie laughing

Orders 2nd floor safe room

Special Operations Division Director Alan Droney and Caretaker Mia Winters: Recent reports suggest that if Eveline remains at her current location, she is at a high risk of being stolen by opposing organizations. Your orders, therefore, are to transfer Eveline to our Central American branch for safe keeping until further notice. During transfer, be sure to adhere to the following protocols: Act as parental guardians for Eveline at all times to avoid suspicion. Manage Eveline's vitals via the Genome Codex provided. If the mission is compromised beyond reconciliation, dispose of Eveline

not to keep harping on the things but Alan is Mia's boss and Mia was low on the food chain not only is this an example of dehumanising Evie its also kinda dehumaninsing Mia because from indeed the description of a caretaker is: A Caretaker, or Janitor or a Site Manager, takes care of the security and maintenance of community buildings. Their duties include cleaning, performing simple repairs and maintenance tasks and performing security checks for the buildings in their care.

we don't know who the threat was (partially BSAA but the others? who knows)

avoid suspicion my ass I say this because there were better ways to deal with this sending someone who actually knew kids. Not acting weird when seen by other people on the ship Alan.

another moment of dehuminisation of Evie and they skip straight to "beyond reconciliation" which again makes me doubt they wanted Evie to get to where she was going

Email log salt mines

Sent: Friday, January 16, 2015 12:42 AM Thanks to you guys it's been about a week since my head's been clear and back to normal. And she STILL thinks she's got me! You guys really need to work on fixing that. Not only does she look like a little kid, but she's about as stupid as one, too. Mom and dad are still totally under though. I was wondering. Is the whole "family" obsession something you guys programmed into her? It's kinda fucked up.

so the Bakers were gradually taken over begining from 10th Oct 2014 so this is three? months later. How were the Connections searching for them or did he find a way to contact them from using the boxes containing the d series arm and head?

Sent: Friday, November 4, 2015 2:10 AM That bitch Mia is still somewhere in between Evie-La-La Land and reality. She gets pretty violent, so I locked her up in a cell. I thought maybe Eveline would get mad since Mia's her favorite and all, but she doesn't seem to care. She actually goes and visits her sometimes. She thinks Mia's her mommy. Like I said, your "bioweapon" is fucked up.

so a little longer between Jan and November. I wonder what act of violence was the catalyst for Mia being locked up for 2/3 years. I wonder what Evie was thinking "doesn't seem to care" because of her upbringing I would say it just seemed normal to her? I wonder if it was during these visits they learn of Ethan's existence?

Sent: Friday, September 1, 2016 1:10 AM Eveline's family obsession is getting out of hand. She's making everyone kidnap more and more assholes off the street to add to her freak show of a family. Maybe she's getting tired of Mia not coming around, but it's a pain in the ass for me because I gotta clean up the mess whenever someone new comes along. By the way, Evie's looking sick or something. Her skin is getting all wrinkly and she's getting grey hairs. Is that supposed to happen? It's almost like she's getting old all of a sudden.

Mia still holding strong against Evie's desires despite being in the cell. I wonder what was going through Evie's head when she wanted more people to join the family

Infection Report

This report details the symptoms that appear when the bacterium* that grows inside the E-Series infects a human. Be sure to read this document throughly before dealing with E-Series weaponized assets. Hereafter referred to as "mold". Initial Infection. The mold ingests nutrients from the subject's body to propagate itself, and slowly takes over cells within the body. As a side effect of this, the infected subject gains remarkable regenerative abilities. During experiments, we removed arms and legs from test subjects and found that they were able to coapt the amputated limbs in a matter of minutes. Mid-stage Infection: Once the mold reaches the brain, the subject's thoughts become "in tune" with those of the E-Series asset. If this state continues, the host will lose all sense of ego. Complete Infection: After every cell in the body has been taken over by the mold, the subject begins to lose their human form. Physical mutations differ from case to case, but all result in him or her acquiring incredible physical strength. Containing a subject at this stage would be extremely difficult.

Zombie Ant Fungus (information from Britannica) Once the fungal mass inside an infected ant reaches a critical size (usually about 16–24 days following infection), the ant is induced to leave its nest at different times than its regular foraging habits, and it fails to walk along established ant trails. Infected ants are generally unresponsive to external stimuli, including other ants... Carpenter ants in areas with zombie-ant fungus have evolved a number of adaptations to limit their exposure to the parasite. Carpenter ants in infested areas tend to be more arboreal than those without the fungus threat, suggesting that they avoid the forest floor to limit exposure to the spores. They also practice social grooming and can remove spores from each other’s bodies before infection can occur. The ants have also been observed to carry infected members of the colony away from the nest and from their usual ant trails on the forest floor to reduce the spread of spores to high traffic areas, and they are known to actively avoid the graveyards of infected dead.

nothing more needs to be said does it?

Report One (much of this is redacted) salt mine still you can read the full thing here. but i'm focusing on the bits that stood out to me.

This project was instigated in 2000 as one of several concepts for the company's NEXBAS (next-generation experimental battlefield superiority) initiative, working with technical assistance from H.C.F., to develop a bioweapon for neutralizing combatants en masse with minimal direct contact. NEXBAS was later folded, and all its assets diverted to this project. What makes this project markedly different from conventional weapons is its ability to turn enemy combatants into allies; converting hostile elements into willing servants... The resultant organisms were referred to as "candidate specimens" and graded based on usability, from the impratical and faulty Series A through D, to the perfected E-Series. A common appearance was selected for the bioweapons; that of a roughly ten-year-old girl, to ensure ease of blending in with urban/refugee populations... Eveline's control is exerted in a series of discrete stages, the first of which is hallucination. Almost immediately after infection, the subject begins to see images of Eveline (though she is not in fact there) and hear her voice (which is inaudible to anyone else). Auditions with infected subjects throughout the stages of infection reveal that at first, the phantom Eveline appears to be a normal young girl, sometimes desiring companionship or assistance. As time progresses, she begins making more and more extreme demands, including self-mutilation and attacks on other people. The psychological shock this induces helps to break down the mind's natural barriers to Eveline's brainwashing effect, and by the time mental control is achieved, the mutamycete infection has progressed throughout the body's cells...

1 H.C.F. is Wesker he was in charge of it for a time and it and he was behind the events of code veronica

2 this was Evie's sales pitch. Essentially Evie being dropped into a combat zone she would be able to stop the fighting (the regenerative factor was just a bonus)

3 from the way this is worded the other mutamycete experiments had different looks, but for the way they were going to use them a 10 year old child is best.

4 what happened to Ethan is he heard her first and heard her after getting the arm

5 we see all this happen with Jack when he stabbed himself and attacks Margurite and Zoe

Report 2

... The researchers have been calling these super-organisms the "Molded"; made of mold, and also molded as in "shaped". The name has a certain elegance to it. For the treatment of accidental infections, performing □□□□□ on samples of Eveline's body tissue produces a unique fungicidal serum. 1 Administering the serum to an infected subject will cause the mycelia to calcify, but if the subject's cells are already largely invaded, the serum will be fatal. 2 Since the treatment window is so small, the serum's primary use is therefore disposal of infected subjected, rather than a cure. In exploring the serum's potential, we found that subjecting it to □□□□□ would enhance its effects to extreme potency, becoming a compound we now call E-Necrotoxin, which □□□□□□□□□□□□□ in even tiny amounts. 3 What's been interesting to observe in Eveline's behavior is her obsession with the concept of family. In experiments, we found multiple occasions that infected subjects were compelled to act as her "mother" or "father", treating her as if she were really their daughter.Why did she settle upon family as the theme for her mental control? This is just speculation, but it could be that she instinctively understands that a family unit is better suited to blending into social groups than a lone girl. On the other hand…well, a sentimental sort might suggest she's making up for a perceived lack of "love" in her quarantined upbringing. A parent's love.

1 see this in the boathouse

2 say it with me the serum that Zoe was putting a lot of hope on is basic and wouldn't have worked either way (I didn't think of this at the time but this is why Alan didn't suggest getting the serum prepared for him when he was still alive)

3 I would say its both due to her own wants and what she can infer from around. And this also part of why Village is a little stupid at parts because of the picture we see with Miranda and Evie wearing what she was when getting on the boat so either Miranda didn't have much direct contact with the clone of her daughter or she did and for the sake of brevity the author of the report didn't mention her. I say its the latter. Miranda and the Connections at large are the worst either way.

Prince Qīnglóng // Mitsushige [ BlueGreen ] Dragon of The [ East] :: Prince of Spring

» Draconian species “celestial spring” • - first and foremost; Mitsushige is a god; in the sense that he Created Himself from Everything - he is not a simple elder dragon - but a Thought made by his Father - and a thought that grew into reality by Mitsushige’s own determination. Thus, he is a creature that has lived for thousands upon thousands of years. Not always in the form of a Dragon; but as energy; a season that’s caressed the world over and over again after the passing Death of Winter.

• - Mitsushige, or Qīnglóng as he is originally known by; was created by the power of belief of animal, plantation and the soul of the Earth itself, like his brothers in their elements. He became a Dragon; upon the multitude of animal creatures he saw; and taking on a fierce some form; he protects what he claims as His.

• - Mitsushige’s length is that of an estimated 125- 150ft from Nose to Tail end and around 20 ft in girth; chest able to expand around 30-40 when inhaling and breathing fire. His stomach is also able to expand when full; though very rarely due to his sheer size.

• - Wings; when fully grown are around 250 ft in span!

• - As a Hatchling, Mitsushige took over 190 years to fully develop into a new body - after condensing a selection of his Spiritual Energy / Chi into the form of his making and uncoiling himself from the eggs shell already at 10 feet.

• - Chinese and Japanese Dragons are known to be very akin with water, which Mitsu’ is, he loves to swim and be beneath the surface; but his true calling is that of life and plantation that sings to him in soft voices and gentle lullabies. He can feel their pain and their happiness in a singular breeze. Mitsushige believes in his abilities to become the Earth’s Guardian so, that is what he committed himself to do. Creating helpers from the Earth, he made himself a Home; he made himself a land, and he made himself a Prince - under the blessing of his Father, The Sun itself.

• - Qīnglóng gave himself the Alias; Mitsushige to free himself from the ‘Power of Words’ in Japan.

» Feathers / whiskers / mane • - Feathers are littered throughout his ( first image ) younger form; though mostly hidden behind a thick, golden yellow mane; the down feathers of a bird can be felt.

• - When older and shredded his old scales for new and with wings now granted to his aged form; they are filled to the brim with sleek, short-furred feathers which are covered in waterproofed oils. Mitsushige needs to preen them very little; due to them being almost singular in feather, but mostly because beneath the fluffy exterior, they are all in fact bedded on a scale covered membrane, making the oils that slide off his feathers stick to nothing to the point of making it dirty in any form.

• - The sight of his feathers being rather sleek and polished in looks; also gives the illusion of ‘slotting’ together when under water / diving. This is another method of keeping dirt or blood from meals from tainting his wings inner layers when underwater and drying off.

• - Whiskers are around 150 ft in length and very thin; wispy compared to the rest of his body. They grow from his muzzle, under his nose and stretch as far back as his flank. They are prehensile, allowing Mitsu’ to use them as pointers and or to make contact with much smaller species without overwhelming them.,

• - His mane flows down the length of his body too; joining with his tail which extended further on its own. His cranium’s crown is styled backwards; flowing from scales in a stiff manner; but also due to this; when enraged, his hair expands; fluffing up in a manner of defense and threatening to appear larger than he already is.

» Seasonal changes / Winter sleeps • - Spring Dies Every Winter; Yukioki and Mitsushige are dear brothers, they love one another; and they accept one another - but they also understand that for Winter to roam freely; Mitsu’s must sleep on the occasion to allow Winter’s grasp to take hold of those under his protection. Although it’s possible for Spring to remain as it is in the snowstorms, Mitsushige doesn’t just sleep to allow his handle on Spring to release. But it’s also for his ears to be free of the pain of those dying under Winter’s freeze. Mitsushige is a kind soul; a downfall in many ways, but a bonus in good.

• - Mitsu’s asleep allows Spring to swiftly pass, allowing new life and new growth to blossom once he wakes after the Snowy Season. Like a Bear; Mitsu’s winter sleeps. Mitsu’s slept in a specially prepared room in his Inn; filled to the brim with soft sheets, textured sheets and his collections of scents plants.

• - After every 2 winters, Mitsu’ will shed his prior skin/scales. Though it does not mean that anything new will be bought forth, it is a dedicated time for Mitsu to feel clean, to feel renewed with his season.

• - Prior to this the biggest changes begin when his scales have peeled free of their White tones. Underneath those are an arrangement of green and blue mixed scales - the glistening resembles sea-waters, lakes and the tree leaves of the trees above and below him in the sky and when walking through his garden.

» Environment / nesting • - Mitsushige is a big dragon; thus he needs suitable space. Having a Shrine made for him and lived in by him; the magic his body has is easily able to manipulate the size and shape of the rooms at will. Thus, Mitsushige had a room designed for his lonesome time needs; a room where he can coil his body and self.

• - Outside his Shrine; Mitsushige has little hand in what grows around him; the seasons pass over as normal, however the Spring does last a little longer than usual in his private space. The grasses are always green, the flowers are all bloomed and new life is happening every hour and but slows down near the centre of spring to not over populate.

• - He often calls his home lands; harmony; due to the factor that it is nothing but tranquillity in real form.

» Injury & healing • - After his fight with another dragon, Mitsushige suffered great deals of damage from the chaotic and enraged Drake; the most noticeable scarring on all his forms will be the gorged heap of missing muscle and flesh from his right hip, a bite mark scarring on the front of this throat that wrapped around the sides of his neck in faint lines; and a slashed four-clawed scratch over his left pectoral going up his shoulder but finishing before it reached such. He has several smaller bite marks around his legs, and tail, but not so terrifying to stare upon. These wounds were healed over a long-long time by Nature itself as he did the job he did not foresee being so damaging.

• - Mental injury was forced-mind wiping; asking his brother; Akikuni; a trade for his Dragon Orb, for memories of sealing another dragon away even though they were screaming for help. Mitsushige went into a forced sleep, making his body and mind forget about everything he did to that other dragon, and in turn forgetting ever part of what he did for his Father’s world. Mitsushige suffers from Phantom Pain, PTSD and anxiety.

• - Though most of these symptoms have become obsolete, over the factor that his memories were returned to him - demanding that he repents and wished for his Brother to return what he forgot as a punishment for harming his fellow dragon. It was thanks to his brothers, that he gained the courage to have the memories back and, in turn; learned of what he had done and what he begs forgiveness for from the angry spirit of the dragon left locked away.

• - Mitsu’ still feels intense guilt for what he did, but he has slowly came to terms with accepting what he had done and now makes up for his violence and ignorance of running away from his doings; as he lives with his beloved.

» Breeding / mates • - Mitsushige is a drake that mates with one Dragon and stays with them until death. He is capable of breeding upon his own; using his magical energies and the factor that he is of Spring itself, he will simply be reborn anew; a new face however to symbolize the newest of springs when his time comes.

• - Mitsushige has confirmed he can lay eggs with his partner as the other parent, however it isn't his end goal when coupling with his lover.

» Diet • - Mitsushige diet is ample, small yet plentiful in what he consumes. Fish, plantation, fruits, vegetables, grains and red meats - his diet is almost Buddhist like; but due to being an omnivore, he settles for a well-prepared stable diet; that consists of most if not all food groups needed for the body.

» Forms • - Mitsushige can turn from a land dragon to a sea dragon to a sky dragon - thanks to the massive amounts of abilities he has tied to his Divinity. Thanks to being a Dragon, he is warm-blooded, his elements are nothing short of divine seasonal embodiment. Scales that are both absorbent of heat and resistant to water; Clawed toes that can double for fins, and a powerful tail that pushes him deeper into the depths of the sea. Mitsushige is adaptable with what he has at current; what he can not do is change anything about himself that isn’t beneficial to his basic needs. He will not go any more horns if his crown isn’t of need in it; he will not grow more wings when those he has at current are fine enough.

• - Mitsushige new form after shedding his last of Teen-Young Adult scales is finally revealed. With hair now green as new leaves, his eyes orange but hidden beneath moss-y green. He has grown several inches; able too now to see eye-to-eye with his brothers/ His horns now stretch longer, thicker and like crystals in translucency but are very much bone in material. Antler like in style.

» First form ( first image duo ) • - Hatchling - Pre-Adult

• - no wings!!

• - White and Gold; though divine in looks, it is merely a casing to what his truer colours are. This is a form that can not be seen from long distances or in very bright lights. The idea that all Hatchlings of the Sun God are a reflection of him is also a thing that happens. Making them all unique and odd to many other Yokai and Deities in the area.

» Second form ( bottom duo images ) • - Adult - Elder & Eternal Heavenly Spring Form

• - Greens, blues, teals and more; the colours that cover Mitsushige’s full adult form is nothing less of beauty and divinity in plain sight; if you know where to look. Taking the Blue-green in his real name to the true sense; his scales are a mixture of Green and Blue shades all over. Not a spot missed; alongside his hair with is glossy and lengthened throughout his frame.

• - These colours sing the colours of Spring, they beckon the sun and direct plant growth in his passing; but the biggest addition to his long frame now; are the wings of adulthood - with a mate, lifelong bliss and content in body and soul; his latest shedding has been gifted to him for finding that inner peace needed to grow more. These wings stretch across the sky and cradle plant-life under them often.

• - Mitsushige is still getting used to having wings; thus expect several mishaps to happen upon half-transformations in the future!
