When it comes to my imagery as of late, I've found myself drawing creatures and critters that have an 'ambiguous' look to them, instead of beings that tend to look outright malicious. Sure, they could potentially be violent monsters, but they could also be like everyone else, just living their lives and doing their thing --- they just look unsettling and alien to us. I like that people can speculate on the creature's motivations.

Then again, the flavor text does kind of contradict that, though I usually just type up something basic to spice up social media posts, and to keep my writing muscles stretched. I much more enjoy people coming up with their own little scenarios for my art --- like yours, which I very much like! I can definitely see this creature being a wise sage or some Chesire Cat-esque trickster with a fondness for riddles.
