mel-Lothann, Chief Warrior of all the Benefactor Warrior Pods. A monster of a Halavahdon at 460 feet and wielding a diamond-tipped spear nearly as big as he is. He calls himself the Solitary Warrior, and yet he can command an army. To understand his strength and speed, think of this: A bull orca can break a Great White Shark in half with one hit. mel-Lothann is 12 times larger than a bull orca and has intelligence as sharp as any of the megadolphins. He's the closest thing his world has to Primal's Spear. He's lithe and muscular, with a muzzle more feline than otter. His eyes are a piercing yellow, a feature of the Feral Pods that spawned him. His flukes are narrower and lighter than a female's, designed for raw speed in a charge. In this watercolor painting by Heather Bruton, he silently waits in a kelp forest, spear at the ready, as he waits to ambush his target from the blindside. He can hold his breath over an hour, so he has the patience to wait a long time, waiting for maximum advantage... Do not challenge mel-Lothann lightly. He is a force of nature.

Can't make a post about mar-Tykoni without also posting her consort, mel-Lothann. We've seen the Chief Warrior of the Benefactors before; do not ever underestimate his intelligence or cunning.

A painted watercolor portrait of the Grand Matriarch of the Explorer Superpod of the Halavahdon. (Whew!) She's sort of the equivalent of a NASA flight director - all Explorer operations, as well as updating the Elder Pod and relay pods, fall to her. She's driven by both a belief in her mission and bringing her people back home alive. She's very tall for a female Halavahdon, 430 feet from head to toe. Despite her great height she has a relatively compact. thick build, with a huge tail, leading to a set of flukes that are almost as big as her entire upper body. She has teal eyes and an ice blue crystal pendant around her neck. As shown, this crystal has a unique ability: It was engineered to plug into Explorer technology, allowing her to move things with her mind, create shields, and more. She rarely uses this ability, but she is the last line of defense for the Benefactor Campus; if she needs to, she *will* ruin your day. mar-Tykoni doesn't need to command respect. She earns it with hard work, dedication, and committment to the future of two peoples. She is truly The Matriarch. Art is by Sandy Schreiber.

Insanely good real-media painting of mar-Tykoni, the Grand Matriarch of the Halavahdon Explorer Pod. (Say that five times fast!)

-How long will the series go? Not much longer. Crossovers are a lot of fun, but too long and they look like ego trips. And she misses her friend!

All thanks to @theabbeyroadie.bsky.social. Please go give her some business! She deserves it!

You might say she's pretty metal.
