The Kokol - or the Bid'ha "water boars"
These 1,400 lbs beasties are around 6ft at the shoulder and 8ft in length, and can be found up and down the main valley waterways - from lakes to rivers. They mostly scavenge at the bottom, using their sharp claws and powerful limbs to crush and push aside boulders for whatever critter is hiding under, but do actively hunt both in and out of water. So just because you managed to evade the first water ambush and made it to land doesn't mean the Kokol has given up the chase. And, since they live in medium sized family groups, it's often not just one of these on your tail.
They can be hunted and eaten, in turn, but their meat is tough and unpleasant in palate. Better than nothing, however.
Botw is such an interesting take on post apocalypse, because it isn't really dystopian. It is a wound healed over, a world that has forgotten the end of itself, and in that, has begun anew. Grandparents whisper their nightmares into the wind, and smile at their kin. The garrisons that remain are sodden ashes in the dirt, a burial ground, and the most fertile soil for miles. You do not know the past that your body remembers. You do not know the voices that linger, and yet you follow. You follow, because the world has forgotten you, and you have nothing that is yours to remember.
A slightly late birthday gift for @inolaphoenix her character Inola! Thank you for being so sweet and kind 💜💜

Oh my goodness, this is absolutely perfect for them! 🥹❤️ It captures their relationship so beautifully, even in their childhood and later, after Caleb forgives Diego for everything that happened. Despite all his pain, Caleb never stopped loving Diego as his brother. That love never wavered, even when it was buried under hurt. He always carried that deep, protective instinct, never wanting Diego to end up hurt or alone. 😢
Caleb always took it upon himself to care for Diego no matter what... it was such an integral part of who he was. Their bond is so bittersweet! And of course the themes of mental health just speak volumes about their story ❤️
I am not crying you are! 😢 😭😭😭 Orestes and Pylades in Eurypedes are literally the best example if you wanna see how it feels to work with Caleb and Diego, our babies with my friend @artsofmetamoor 🥹🥹🥹🥹 I mean look at them!
Orestes: There is just one more problem
Pylades: A new objection?
Orestes: What if the gods strike me again with madness?
Pylades: Then I will take care of you
Orestes: It will be terribly hard to handle a sick man
Pylades: Not to me if it's you!
Orestes: Beware! You will be dragged down to my madness!
Pylades: Let it go!
Orestes: You wouldn't hesitate?
Pylades: No! Hesitation is a great evil between friends!
(Translation by me)
MY BABIES!! They are off to do evil things sure but DUDE!!!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
So you get an idea of the characters you can see in my friend's profile. Caleb is being the one trying to stabilize a very traumatized and very mentally unstable Diego who is often like a ticking bomb ready to explode (which he does!)
Gosh now I wanna write for BOTH these moments! Pylades handling poor Orestes as his madness comes and goes and our babies with @artsofmetamoor as Caleb is there for Diego when he has a mental breakdown! 😢

This is the cutest thing I can't 😂❤️ Tsayo really is proudly showing him to everyone like:
And Miles' face like "please put me down..." 😂
It warms my heart to see Miles creating a family bond with more characters, and yours are always amazing! 😍
Sketch of my OC Tsayo and Spider (miles) 🥰💜
Coz Tsayo is some years younger than Miles, he looks up to his big brother. 💜 Miles will always be his hero, he will never stop looking up to him!
Coz Miles was already a few years old when Tsayo was born, he was so protective and always helped Ayluna to care for him!
Ayluna did not adopt Miles, but every time the boy came around, she gave that little human boy so much love and took care of him. Ayluna always enjoyed Miles company. Even Tsu'Tey got used to the human child and Ayluna and him became like Aunty and uncle for Miles. They have a close relationship to him 🥰
(on this artwork Tsayo is still a very young teen xD)
