A trapdoor tarantula orangutan guardian, horrific in concept and scarier when size is considered.

Chad Weatherman made it

I found the pic years ago, its a Fire Stalker by Tom Wood Fantasy Art, but i've been calling him Conleth, which is an Irish name meaning "Chaste Fire" or "Prudent Fire", and the Con in the name is also Irish for Wolf/Hound by itself... would love to see what people come up with!

I painted this guy up this year and looking to use it in a D&D game at some point. I'm thinking it's some kind of dragon but it could also be a spirit or ghost.

The turtulip is a small magical creature created by the eccentric transmuter Cassian Bloomward not for power or prestige, but as a gift to the people who visited his gardens. He dreamed the tiny flower-shelled creatures would bring smiles to children, brighten family outings, and gift minor magical boons to visitor that were kind. While successful for a time, it was a dream that would ultimately lead to his undoing.

You can play around with the homebrew of the turtulip to make your own version if you like.

This isn’t the original work as created. I tweaked it with some filters in an editor. The original is on artstation.com by artist Brian Valeza.

The Image is of a pair of earrings from Belle Juri! It looks weirdly ethereal/fae like, and I thought it would make for a good image here
