Original Deviantart Description:

Updated Description:

  More spirit creatures. ^^

 The green one is a Lizelp, the big brown one is a Kerebull, the winged one is a Drabunny, and last, but not least, is a Mering.

However, the visual quality is now much better, especially on the Drabunny, which was quite blurry in the original upload.

Despite editing out the spiralbinding and holes being as much of a pain as always, it's come out quite well.

(At the very least, it was nowhere near as bad as editing the next in line, Spiderhund.)

Not much else to say- more of the original image is now visible and the colors are much more accurate to the physical piece.

Out of Story Information:

-Mering is taken from the word "meringue", a type of dessert. This makes mering one of two food-inspired spirit creatures, the other being hunni-bun, although mering's design is less obviously sweets-themed.

-Lizelp has a ruff because the design originally looked too plain.

- Kerebull is a combination of the words bull and the Greek "kerebrou". Kerebrou translates to "demon of the pit", and it is from this same word that we get Cerberus, the three-headed guard dog of the Underworld in Greek myth.

- Besides the obvious "devil dog" flair, Kerebull's design is primarily based on a pitbull. Most of Kerebull's characteristics (excepting its low intelligence,) come from this breed of dog.

- Mering, unlike real life pigs, has a naturally curly tail. Actual pigs only get this feature if they contract a disease self-explanatorily named "curly tail". 

-Drabunny, unlike most real lagomorphs, such as rabbits and hares, has a long tail.

-This image features the first versions of both Marie and Petronius. (More of them to come).
