I don't know if any of our native dryinids could successfully parasitize them but there is some research being done on Dryinus sinicus, a chinese dryinid, for SLF biocontrol

I've drawn him fishing the regular way but I could definitely see him going for the more natural approach on occasion too

people sometimes very reasonably assume my critter monk art is some kind of Redwall AU fanart but in my heart it's actually closer to Eduard von Grützner AU fanart

Before you get your hopes up too far, I do prefer to keep the lore minimal, flexible, and mostly implied. But to the extent that there is lore, the almost 90 page zine/artbook i'm almost finished designing has most of it!

they're rutabagas but more importantly this does not take place in any real time or place because a world where an opossum is telling a dick joke to a crocodile is not a world where I have to care about historical accuracy
