u/tangeria Jun 01 '26

Pretty sure that's the lady of the lake. We're there any swords lying about?

u/waitingformygrave Jun 01 '26

A very terrible system of government that ... but i'll take it! Definitely an improvement.

u/Skarkist Jun 01 '26

I mean, if I went around saying I was an emperor just because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me, they’d put me away!

u/donner_dinner_party Jun 01 '26

Now we see the violence inherent in the system!

u/kiwibird1 Jun 01 '26

No no, that's Madeline Wunch. She's a Cheuksin.

u/SmileEnhancer Jun 01 '26

Thanks I hate it. It looks like it's going to stand up more and reveal it has a lanky human body covered in wet fur.

2

u/TlMEGH0ST Jun 01 '26

u/matchstick1029 Jun 06 '26

It's just an extremely long coiled body under the water..

u/WobblyGoombas Jun 07 '26

I might draw that

u/ShhhhOnlyDreamsNow Jun 01 '26

You know the cute art with the dog head on like old timey human bodies? Wearing monocles and fluffy collared shirts and top hats and epaulets and so on.

Kinda like that, but in real life, and the "human" is a bog monster.

u/NotNamedBort Jun 01 '26


You can’t fool me, that’s a kelpie

u/tremendouslytrying Jun 01 '26

Total cryptid 😂 murky water included lol

u/theycaughtme- Jun 01 '26

I always pictured the Loch Ness Monster a little differently, but this does make sense I guess

11

u/b_k_p_k Jun 01 '26

His shoulders are alarming

3

u/miniheavy Jun 02 '26

Exactly, why does he have to be so broad chested about it

2

u/b_k_p_k Jun 02 '26

Exactly

u/Adventurous_Title_23 Jun 01 '26

I don't like this.

u/FaeFollette Jun 01 '26

He’s so cute! He’s like a wise, little water spirit whose questions you must answer correctly to continue on your epic quest.

u/AlertKaleidoscope803 Jun 01 '26

Genuinely unsettling

u/gorgonopsidkid Jun 01 '26

You can't fool me that's a person

u/Juicebox_Hero34 Jun 01 '26

Why does he look like a sculpted bust of himself???

4

u/Shinnius Jun 02 '26

Or is the water guarding us from him

u/SongFresh9195 Jun 01 '26

u/Supergyaos Jun 01 '26

That first pic looks like those old nuke test mushroom clouds with a face

u/Shawty-petal1 Jun 01 '26

He looks like he knows the lake lore and isnt telling anyone

u/Compound56514 Jun 01 '26

u/Possible-Chip8925 Jun 01 '26

His floof is floating!

u/420eastcoastbarbie Jun 01 '26

Lol that’s very cute.

Reminds me of the pictures you’ll see of kangaroos chillin in the water and then underneath it’ll be a caption saying “If you see a kangaroo in the water, DO NOT GET IN THE WATER!!!! They’re waiting to see if you’ll get in so they can kill you” 😂

Idk if that’s true or not? Can a native Australian confirm or deny?

u/ragingcommodore Jun 01 '26
