Who made this?

'Twas not I. I swear it.

It does look like a case of creation magicks gone terribly, though, does it not? Mayhap they were thinking of the horn that the monoceros be armed?

[emet_sulk]

Or they wanted this creature to be "armed" and their thoughts strayed.

....Whoever made this is certainly talented.

[emet_sulk]

[ You could even call them handy at their work-- ]

'Talented' is certainly one way to put it.

[ Sherlock does not know what is worse: the fact that this creature exists or that if a taxidermy or skeleton existed of it, his mother would have put it in her room of curiosities where the items she proved forgeries and fabrications ended up. ]

Good Lord. Have we another mad scientist stitching parts together again?

[emet_sulk]

As far as I can tell from where I'm standing, it has no visible seams or other marks of a typical chimera.

Someone with a bad sense of everything.

[emet_sulk]

As my friend would no doubt say: I would not like for this thing to get its hands on me.

CURSED
CURSED
SO SUPER CURSED

[emet_sulk]

It isn't cursed, unfortunately. I do not see any magicks surrounding it.

[ Whoosh... ]

[thearchangel]

Oh what the hell is that thing.

[emet_sulk]

A horse. Or so I thought.

The one who posted its bounty did not seem sure either.

[crack_shots]

No idea.

Would you say you need a hand?

1/2

[emet_sulk]

2/2

[emet_sulk]

I do not need one, no.

Initial impressions seem to indicate that it is herbivorous like other horses. It is currently grazing.

[obliviscere]

Are you sure someone made it? Maybe it's a very...unique native to this place...?

[emet_sulk]

When one looks at a chimera, one doesn't think, 'Oh, this is a natural-born beast'.

What possible reason could this thing need hands for?

I suspect the question is less who and more why.

[emet_sulk]

Indeed. Why? I would also like to ask how, in Zodiark's name, was it made? I am bereft of creation magicks here yet surely it cannot be natural.

[makoglow]

Why do you assume that someone made it?

[emet_sulk]

Have you ever seen a horse with hands for feet?

[phoenixdominant]

Well... I must admit, I cannot quite find the words to describe what I feel when I look upon it.

[Cringe. The word is cringe.]

[emet_sulk]

Disturbing. In multiple ways.

The hand on its forehead is grossly unnecessary.

[activatingcombatmode]

Looks like it would have mad arm wrestling game.

[emet_sulk]

The forelimbs bend the wrong way for it to do that.

And I do not wish to face its crotch.

Were we in my world I would assume that was a Saint, and that whoever made it is likely a part of some local faith.

[ It has human features, and in his world that usually means used to be human. ]

Are we sure anyone did make it, here?

[ A lot of the monsters are supposedly naturally occurring, after all. ]

[emet_sulk]

If there are other creationists here then I have yet to meet them. And if there are, I would like to know how they can Create when I cannot.

That creature is most assuredly not a saint in any way, shape, or form.

Approved. Send it over to young Erichthonios for observation and testing.

[emet_sulk]

You're not the Chief Architect here, Hythlodaeus.

[wherethereislight]

[....Huh. Marked as read.]

[noctuagoetia]

Oh.... my... Isn't that.... creative?

It reminds me of something a certain imp might have drawn, but knowing he is no longer here, it couldn't have been him. Where did you find this?

[emet_sulk]

In the woodlands on Eltrut. If there are others then I have yet to see them.

[musicien]

As strange as this might sound, I've seen worse. Though it might've had the same number of hands, unfortunately.

Verso!!!

[emet_sulk]

Have you now? Did some whimsical individual get a little too enthusiastic with their creation? Or is there a need for multi-limbed lifeforms in your world?
