Daily doodles Day 29
Another obscure cryptid, this one is called the Hugag and comes from logging folklore. More specifically the book, "Fearsome Critters".

Comic book page. Panel 1: St. John Coward drags his cane across the bars of a cage. The creature inside, a bear/wolf/cat-like creature with a triangular prism-shaped body with two pairs of legs on each side, growls. Coward: What man of wealth and taste wouldn't love to own a North American whintosser... Panel 2: Coward points his cane as a water tank containing a large legless alligator with a hairy back with a giant spike coming out of it and a propellor on the tip of its tail. Coward: ... or a snoligoster... to demonstrate his virility? Panel 3: Coward taps on a box containing a small rodent-like creature that emits a tea-kettle wail as steam pours out of its mouth. Coward: Or a refined lady her own teakettler? Panel 4: Outside in the snow, Eggman complains. Eggman: This ain't right! Guard duty is a waste of time for a man of my intelligence and a man of your... Panel 5: Eggman looks at Walrus. Eggman: ...uh... Panel 6: Eggman: ...knowing a man of my intelligence. Walrus smiles vacantly at this.

Comic book page. Panel 1: St. John Coward gestures towards a fishtank containing furry trout. The glove made of wapaloosie fur is clinging to the top of his cane. Coward: The fur-bearing trout. Unlike their poisonous cousins in Iceland, the North American variety are edible and, indeed, tasty. The fur adds value as material for clothing manufacture. Panel 2: Coward crouches down and taps his cane against a glass box containing what looks like a fur coat. The glove jumps off the cane and onto the side of the box. Coward: The rumtifusel, a relative of the Pacific Northwest tree octopus, has perfectly adapted to trap its prey, man, by disguising itself as a lost fur coat draped over a log. Panel 3: The underside of the fur coat reveals itself to be a cephalopod-like creature and it clings to the inside of the glass box with horrible sucking noises. The glove makes its way to the top of the glass box. Panel 4: The gangsters react in horror. Sweaty Suriano: Gahh!! Lardo Lombardo: Mary, Mother of God!! Paulie Pocket (with a tiny speech balloon: Shit! Panel 5: Coward gets up, leaning on his cane. The glove has climbed off the glass box up to the top of a cage next to it. Coward: But that mean that for our purposes, it is merely a ready-make fur coat, with only the eyes, teeth, suckers and digestive organs needing removal. And whatever animals here that have no immediate material value would still net a fortune in the exotic pet market.

Comic book page. Panel 1: The mobsters are covering their noses as Coward continues his pitch. Coward: Why, here's a-- Panel 2: a dark monkey-like creature with rubbery arms throws hay while screaming. Panel 3: The hay hits Coward in the back. Panel 4: Coward makes a threatening face and silently raises his cane. Panel 5: The monkey cringes and covers itself while going "EEK EEK EEK" Panel 6: Coward turns back to the mobsters. Coward: Heh. Who needs a guard dog when you have an agropelter to hurl things at intruders? Panel 7: A rodent-like creature climbs on the bars of its cage. Coward: Why, here's a wapaloosie... Panel 8: Coward holds up a glove next to his cane. Coward: Excellent climbers. So much so that climbing-gloves made from their fur... Panel 9: Coward lets go of the glove and it slithers up the cane. Coward: ...do most of the work for you!

Comic book page. Panel 1: The interior of the warehouse, Fearsome Critters, including a Cactus Cat, a Roperite, a Gumberoo, a Snoligoster, a Hugag, a Hudag, a Toteroad Shagamaw, and an Axehandle Hound, are all kept in too-small cages stacked on top of each other. St. John Coward: Gentlemen, I introduce you to my North American menagerie! Panel 2: Closeup of Coward. In the background is a crate labelled "Contains Squonk, do not look" as water pours out of the airholes in it. Coward: All rare species, each with their own unique value. No need for the myriad inconveniences of international smuggling – overseas shipping, paying off inspectors, what have you. Panel 3: Viper crouches on top of the warehouse roof, kept steady by a belt harness attached to cords. He listens into the window with a stethoscope pressed against it. Coward: All these creatures can be found within the borders of your fine country. And once you have enough of a species, breeding them means practically printing money.

A giant smilodon hybrid creature, with a smilodon's face, reddish coat and horns, and red teeth and eyes. It has an enormous scaly body that is like an exaggerated version of a crocodile's.
Beast Fables - The Mighty Hodag
Largest and most powerful of feline chimera, so big, a swing of its tail can topple trees, and hide so thick, anything less than cannonfire is useless against it.
Derived from Smilodon.

A limbless weasel with off white fur and a winter nose pink dressed in a plush fur trimmed blue plaid caplet. In short, a noodle of pure joy that needs more love in the Fearsome Critters category. This one, if it wins, will be getting a bendable armature inside so it can wrap around shoulders or arms.
A fluffy green pug looking dude with horns, barbed tail, spikes, claws, and an underbite a boxer would approve of. This Hodag is dressed in a red plaid shirt, a speckled scarf, and holding a bag of white bulldog chips since it's a Sunday. The Hodag is a Wisconsin favorite and answer to the Jackalope with possible ties to the fabled Babe the Blue Ox.
A Sturgeon-Fox hybrid looking little guy dressed in an olive green cardigan with an off white blouse and a green bowtie. The Fish Fox wears a cute puffed tan and brown plaid shorts. I'm still determined to convince everyone that sturgeons are clearly water foxes, it's a fact and a truth. If this one wins, it'll be a fully clay based doll and based on the Foxling body pattern.
Figured I'd run a vote on here too, which two out of the three would you like to see be made this Spring? #Art #TradtionalArt #Watercolors #AnalogMedia #BrownInk #Concepts #FearsomeCritters
