Manta Rays
This is the last of the Hawai’i sketches, but you can see various photos of wildlife and scenery from the trip at Rosemary’s blog and my Flickr photostream.
Sea Turtle
Saw a bunch of turtles in Hawai’i.
(Some artistic license has been taken in this representation, however.)
The Majestic Hydrorse
Colloquially known as the “swamp stallion”, this aberration of nature boasts the nastier sides of both parent breeds (horse and hydra), with none of their redeeming qualities*. Despite this fact, however, hunting it is expressly forbidden in most countries. (Though most cryptozoologists agree that this is for the sake of each country’s citizen-count rather than a protective measure for the beast itself.)
*Granted, the hydra of legend had no redeeming qualities and seemed possessed of only a single large nasty side in the first place, but the statement is still technically correct.
The Gentle Hydrorse
Here we have, by popular demand, an artist’s rendition of an elusive creature called the hydrorse, commonly acknowledged as the offspring of some ill-advised tryst between a horse and a hydra.
Although we see the animal here placidly taking stock of its surroundings, most cryptozoologists shun such an optimistic characterization, instead pointing out that an entire fifty percent of its lineage is the embodiment of wild man-eating fury. So, to appease both sides of the hydrorse temperament debate, I have opted to continue with this topic for one more session, examining a darker side of the many-headed beast.
The Enforcer
Jimmy the Magical Giraffe
Once scorned and exiled by his fellow stuffed animals, Jimmy learned the art of levitation from a wandering gypsy and began gathering as many type-7 rainbow clouds as he could manage. Harnessing the ultimate power of the rainbow ether, he plans to build a superlaser capable of wiping out a small city with a concentrated blast of sparkley-happiness.
