I wanted to make a species with a turtle shell, to challenge myself to draw turtle shells! They're not easy! This is what I made- Lerbils! They're an open species (I don't have the time/energy to mess with any more closed species right now!) and the only real rule is if you make one- you have to show me!!
I imagine they are magical creatures sort of like muses, who pick an art/craft/skill and master it, and then go around teaching it and just generally being wise and such. At least they like to act wise, its not garunteed that they are. They like to speak in riddles and metaphors.
Lerbils can fly, swim, and walk, so they are very versatile creatures. They can also hide in their shells, which they claim are bigger on the inside. Only a Lerbil can go inside their own shell though, so nobody knows if they're lying.
This was fun and I will probably draw more!! Feel free to make a Lerbil, I would love to see what you come up with.
