Manocow (Monster)

(Art by Anonymous)

(This was mostly inspired by my love of weird medieval bestiary creatures, as well as being, yknow. A sea cow.)

CR5 CN Large Magical Beast HD6

One of the sea’s strangest creations, the manocow is a rare creature known as a temptor to some men and a savior to others, luring some men to a watery grave and letting others ride to safety on their backs. These are not disparate groups with differing philosophies; a manocow is ruled by whims as shifting as the tides, and one who seeks the sounds of sailors meeting their deaths on the rocks might feel a compulsion to help others in a fortnight. These are motivated neither by malice of compassion, but by a simple curiosity and desire for sensation. Stranded sailors are sometimes known to use manocows for companionship, although their minds are ill suited to interpersonal relationships or conversation.

Manocows are common prey to larger, more powerful aquatic monsters. They are a favored food to sea cats and sea drakes, although drakes have been known to use the hypnotic abilities of manocow to their advantage, letting them lure sailors into the water and snapping up the distracted humanoids. 

Manocows are surprisingly fast and agile swimmers. They can exist safely on land for some time, but their human hands make them poor walkers and drying out makes them at risk for infection; as such, they mostly stay to beaches and sandbars. Their inability to travel inland obviously restricts their diet, and it’s rare knowledge that a manocow has a deep hunger for cabbages, which are inland plants. A manocow will make most any deal for a fresh head of cabbage, although they aren’t good at sticking to such a deal for long. 

This creature looks like a long-horned bull with a long meaty body that ends in a finned tail, but its most unnerving quality is the human hands it bears on its forelegs.

Sockeye Salmon - The first of many eldritch-touched aquatic babs for this month!

[ladytauria]

for the au game :) a supernatural creatures or shifter au for the batfam and/or pairing of your choosing!

thank you!!! this one was a lot of fun <333

i didn’t end up with either a pairing or a plot for this one, exactly, (there’s kind of a bunch of mini plots tbh) but i had a lot of fun imagining what supernatural creature each of the batkids could be~

i also went over 5 facts but. i blame bruce for that, tbh. he has too many kids :P

After Bruce’s parents are killed by some kind of creature, Bruce becomes a monster hunter. However, one way or another, all the children he adopts turn out to be monsters.

Dick has siren heritage (of the bird variety, not aquatic). It remains dormant until the Court of Owls brings it out of him. He adores the ability to fly, but it leaves him far more careful about his voice.

Jason is killed by Joker, a demon. His return is bathed in hellfire, now a lesser demon himself. He’s managed to keep a tight grip on his humanity, though—even if Bruce doesn’t always appreciate that.

Cass is half-vampire (a dhampir?). Though her need for blood isn’t as all-consuming as a full-blooded vampire, it’s still present, and something she struggles with greatly.

Steph is turned into a werewolf when Black Mask captures her. It’s part of the reason she fakes her death—she leaves to spend time learning to control her shifts.

Tim is a changeling—either he knew the entire time and hid it from everyone, or discovers this himself later in his life. It comes with some small ability to shapeshift and sense what people will find most pleasing. He is able to lie, and well, but is quite sensitive to iron.

Duke has angel blood—maybe he’s nephilim, or the child of a nephilim. (So half- or quarter-angel.) Bruce makes the mistake of thinking that his angel blood means Duke will be the most well-behaved. He’s wrong :)

Damian is half- or quarter-demon, and Bruce really only has himself to blame for that one. Because Talia is a major demon, though, or the descendant of a major demon, he’s about equal to Jason in power. Yes, this causes a lot of problems, lmao.

BONUS: Oracle isn’t just a title; Babs does have some minor precog powers. Alfred is either a (very old) fey or a vampire; he’s just been waiting for Bruce to notice :)

Prinny - CR1 Demon

Prinny Rule Number 1! You must always include the word “Dood” in every line you say, dood!

Artwork is official art from Cross Edge, copyright Nippon Ichi.

Prinnies are the mascots of the Disgaea series and of Nippon Ichi. They’re among the lowest level demons. Worthless mortal souls with significant sins but no actual importance or aptitude may become prinnies in the afterlife, where they’re forced to work as horribly mistreated slaves for eons to pay off their karmic debt. Like most demons, they have no memory of their mortal lives beyond a vague sense of how evil and worthless they were.

A common trait of the prinnies is their upbeat attitude, lazy and unintelligent personalities, their signature pirouette spin, and frequent use of the word “dood” as an interjection in their sentences. Another memorable feature of theirs is the fact that they explode if thrown. As a result, they’re often used as cannon fodder - or, more accurately, cannon ammunition - by demonic forces.

A group of prinnies is likely to die in a massive chain reaction as they all explode.

They lack a few common demon abilities like telepathy and fire resistance, which is on purpose. See also the CR 11 prinny hero for higher level players.

Honestly, prinnies only attack with fire, not ice, in the Disgaea games, and have absolutely no penguin-themed abilities at all, so this interpretation is a bit loose. Which is true of a lot of my monster adaptations.

SPECIAL ABILITIES

Bomb (Su) Each morning, a prinny creates 1 bomb which, in the hands of the prinny, functions as a thrown splash weapon with a range increment of 20 feet.  Bombs are considered weapons and can be selected using feats such as Point-Blank Shot and Weapon Focus.  A bomb deals 1d6 cold damage, and a prinny adds its Constitution bonus to the damage (usually for a total of 1d6+4 cold damage).  The bomb deals splash damage equal to its minimum damage (usually 5), DC 15 Reflex save negates.  The save DC is Constitution-based.

In the hands of any other creature, a prinny’s bomb is useless.  A prinny’s bomb becomes inert and useless 24 hours after being created.

Combustible Feathers (Ex) If a prinny takes fire damage, each of its feathers becomes a quick-burning fuse that explodes a moment later. The prinny is left naked as its feathers fly off, and the explosion causes 3d6 fire damage in a 5-ft. radius. A DC 9 Reflex save halves the damage. The prinny automatically fails the saving throw against this damage, and takes an additional 50% damage from the explosion. The save DC is Constitution-based and includes a -6 penalty.

Once a prinny explodes in this way, it temporarily loses its DR 5/cold iron, and it cannot explode again (via combustible feathers or explosive landing) until its feathers regrow. Its feathers regrow after 1 hour, causing its DR 5/cold iron to return.

Explosive Landing (Ex) If a prinny takes falling damage, it explodes on impact. The prinny is left naked as its feathers fly off, and the explosion causes 3d6 fire damage in a 5-ft. radius. A DC 9 Reflex save halves the damage. The prinny automatically fails the saving throw against this damage, and takes an additional 50% damage from the explosion. The save DC is Constitution-based and includes a -6 penalty.

Once a prinny explodes in this way, it temporarily loses its DR 5/cold iron, and it cannot explode again (via combustible feathers or explosive landing) until its feathers regrow. Its feathers regrow after 1 hour, causing its DR 5/cold iron to return.

Ice Slick Charge (Su) A prinny’s speed doubles when charging on land on a flat surface or downhill. When it performs a charge on land, a prinny leaves an ice trail as the ice slick spell on spaces it moves through and adjacent spaces.

When making a charge, a prinny can attempt to overrun the target of its charge as a free action, continuing in a straight line past its target to the limit of its movement if the overrun is successful. This overrun maneuver does not provoke attacks of opportunity. If the prinny succeeds on the overrun maneuver, its movement during the charge does not provoke attacks of opportunity from the target of its charge.

Icewalking (Ex) A prinny can walk without penalty over areas of ice and snow and does not need to make Acrobatics checks to run or charge on ice.

[f4nd0m-fun]

Oh YES

The Bats are acting like feral animals with just enough sapience to make the league question what they are. MM tries to communicate with them but their minds are blocked off so he assumes they need JLD to help. But JLD can't feel much magic from them so they wrongly assume 'forest for the trees', thinking that the bats are some really strong demons or even worse and that the magic field is just too strong to feel. They can probably feel the influence of the Lazarus pits in some matter, and might decide that's tied to their magical domain tho.

As for the Bats themselves...

Oracle has an army of robotic birds that she can control on top of hacking into the city cameras. Every bat seems to have a favorite bird. Most of these birds have extremely sharp 'feathers' and talons, even if they otherwise look like a prey bird not a predator. She loves the owls especially, they're made to be the most quiet.

Dick dives headfirst into the night theme, with wings that sparkle like stars, and eyes almost reminiscent of the moon. Since he's the original he gets a robin of course.

Jason has to have destroyed looking wings that still work. He flies with wings that seem almost to bleed and might even have gone more death aspect with his design. I want him to have a bluejay tbh, it's part of the corvid family.

I'm not sure about Tim but he probably goes with either a cardinal cause red or a duck because he's silly like that. Maybe if he goes with a duck he makes himself look vaguely semi-aquatic. 😂

Black Bat of course is the most shadow cloaked member, and her wings are the quietest of the entire family. The only thing you can see is the glow of her eyes and her stitched mask, but only if she wants you to see it. She probably gets a raven or crow.

Spoiler I'm not sure about for either aside from the fact she still wears purple.

Duke is the opposite of cass. At first glance, you might think him an angel, a beacon of hope compared to the fear the rest of the bats spread. But he too is creecher. His face is too sharp and birdlike, his hands and feet like talons, and he of course has a signature bird with him, perhaps a dove to further the angelic reference.

I'm not sure about the rest.

Also, it might be interesting if Babs, when she used to be out in the field, Tim, and Steph actually look a bit more human than the others, if only slightly and barely at all, in manner of 'we used to see them on the roofs before they joined the cryptids'. Or the Robin/Batgirl 'phase' is more human looking than the 'final evolution'.

Thinking of cryptid Batfam and them like, pretending to be straight up feral. Like never speaking human language or anything and building up their vigilante outfits to look as natural and Creachur as possible. You know what, give 'em wings and such too. Mechanical ones that started more like gliders but developed more and more into proper ones as they tested things.

But I just want justice league or other Outsiders (Potential crossovers perhaps?) to venture into Gotham to investigate the really high crime-rate, or maybe it's after No Man's Land where they're trying to figure out what happened. Only to start hearing whispers about these beasts that appear each night.

[hella-free-space]

I have so many new children ;u;

[f4nd0m-fun]

Oh my gods this is a lot 🤩

Yeah they definitely have something. Current thought is kinda sorta drowning situation (like they can hold their breath practically forever when not shifted but still) and or water pressure (submarine or magic gone wrong?) so it's either transform or, well, probably not make it.

I love that, especially the imagery of Dick or Tim, and their teams finding them like that.

Poor Bruce struggling with the in-laws 😂

Yeah, definitely important for baby! (Even if they're not necessarily toddlers anymore). He probably also sometimes puts some in Helena's bottles too.

🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹

Bruce loves his baby's, and the moment he finds the ones in that boat he's off with them. Also, Harley (and a few others I think) is in the Squad, if she knows the kids are 'clones', the moment she recognizes Bruce's shape or one of the ladies' those babies are getting chucked. Everyone else may freak out, but the babies are actually really happy to hit the water! The parents get like 100 more bites from the kids alone that night, considering they hadn't been getting blood, let alone the fact that Gothamite breastmilk is probably a bit different than most formula milk anyway, so definitely starving babies no matter what they eat (Harley or someone else may have tried to help but couldn't do much). And yeah, the big bad shark running away? After that no one wants to deal with the situation, they'll fight over who tells Waller later 😂

Yeah that's a big family 🤣

Scars Georg over here eh? But yeah, definitely stares. Also laughing that he still has his cowl or at least a domino on but he's shirtless.

Poor Arthur, yay Diana, and love the kids, especially Damian rn. And yess, not-twins twins Jason and Cass.

Let the old men fight, it's enrichment! 🤣

YES. Gender-neutral dresses! But also I have gender HCs for the fam (some of em)

Bruce and Dick are fluid, Tim is nonbinary masculine while Steph is nonbinary feminine and Cass is just nonbinary. Jason and Duke are mostly cis, but Jason may or may not secretly be into drag (which is more about performance and theatrics than it might look to some), Babs is also mostly cis, but she really doesn't feel too strongly. Talia is cis and femme, while Selina is also non-binary feminine (at least if you ask, otherwise she's like Babs, doesn't really care). Damien is cis as far as he's figured out, but he's still young. Kate is also cis but butch.

And yeah, fashion crimes. Gotham is full of criminals, especially of fashion.

... poor Ollie. The day he finds out Batman has the cutest, and then finds out about the rest of Gotham... lawdy. 😂

... Bruce just drags Manta to the next meeting and hands him over to Arthur. (Conversation approximate, it late)

"I've been looking everywhere, I thought he was up to something, where was he?"

"Aquarium."

"... what?"

"I put him in the batquarium."

"You put him... in an aquarium?"

Bruce grunts and walks off, not mentioning he was in the aquarium for a week.

I love all those animals and they fit really well. 🤩

I mean like you said he's already an alien starfish, I doubt he can get much weirder or aquatic 😅

(also yay Starro!)

Yeah, very big family. 😂

And soo many animals, Bruce practically built a second zoo in Gotham alongside funding the main one.

I mean fish are sometimes considered a long of meat option for vegetarians, but usually considered pescatarian? I think? Damien probably tries to be the most humans with his disposal though for the fish, in part because he can actually control his they die instead of not knowing the process they went through.

Aww yes her lil kittens.

Ooo nice, fancy

@puppetmaster13u

It was getting too long so...

Okay this was VERY long but I love it all. So much food, and very much alive when possible. And yeah they're very much venomous.

... oh gods you're making me hungry for food that isn't even safe even if it existed 😂

Also, I feel like Ivy's plants would, ah, sometimes move if they don't like where they're currently planted. If your neighbor is taking better care of your flowers then you might wake up and see them over there, you just learn to deal. 😅

Ooooo I love that. And I feel like, to Aquaman, it would be like speaking in Pig Latin + Esperanto mixed with the heaviest Scottish accent ever. He can tell it's words, but he can't really understand it.

Also, Bruce singing lullabies to the kids, just imagine. Jason or Dick or anyone shows up having a panic attack and Bruce starts calming them down. First in English, then aquatic, and slowly morphing into a lullaby.

Oh definitely, those other heroes will be struggling. Almost feel bad for them.

The medical professionals must be paid well, and Gotham University probably ends up with a very heavy metal degree that most people might assume is for vets not human doctors. 😂

Oh my gods Helena yes. Poor Supes, and I love the JL freaking out. Also, her bottle HAS to be a little pink, because of the blood that's probably in it. Also, I imagine they're born with weak venom, and drinking their parents' blood lets them process and produce stronger toxins.

I bet Dick and the other kids probably have the same weird food habits and their teammates aren't really sure what they're supposed to do. Sometimes Tim will fall asleep in the middle of lunch and whoever is in the same room will get to see his lunch run away. Probably a bit unnerving. 🤣

I like the idea they might do them for 'major holidays'. Not on the holiday, because Calendar Man (on the holidays is Gotham only, they fully expect him to show up, he's practically invited without saying anything outright), and that's the Outsider Galas. Not just one a year, but not like 20 of em either.

And yeah, aside from runaway food, Tim is pretty good with outsiders. He probably wouldn't eat 'normal' (normal for Gotham anyway) around his team if he didn't trust em or something either. This is probably another reason Bruce made him CEO. 😅

Yesss uncanny valley please. Everyone is freaking out internally, and yet at the same time they can tell they're safe... for now. Servers doing their job, and Gothamites not revealing anything, unless someone does something wrong.

Yesss the rogues. Honestly I just want an AU where the rogues are basically family.

||=====||=====||

"Oh yeah that's aunts Harley and Ivy, they can be fun but don't drink the wine."

Then (controversial I know but also heavily depends on the AU)

"That's Uncle J, we're on tense terms with him but he's got the best drinks if you don't mind letting a bit."

Maybe

"There's not-dad Harv-"

"he's Uncle T right now-"

"-that's Uncle T, don't gamble with him or ask about his coin collection unless you want to stay a while."

Or

"Don't mind Uncle Cobbles, he's a little competitive with B about their family histories, but other than that and birds he's pretty calm."

Even

"Yeah don't mind Uncle John, he's probably more nervous than you are, doing spook him and you'll be fine."

||=====||=====||

Yesss so many photos.

Also, there's two wedding photos. One he shows to outsiders, the other is up at the major as a painting and is the same wedding photo but underwater.

... Ras don't bother your son-in-law's friends please, they have enough on their plate. Seriously, stop. 😂😅

Bruce probably confuses everyone even more by knowing the assassins.

Oooo yes. Sharks, aquariums, oh my. I love all the animals you mentioned too.

... so I randomly looked up 'Victorian modern punk' because why not and...

This was the top result.

Animal Conversions- Herons and Catfish

@thecreaturecodex mentioned a while back that Pathfinder 1e completely lacked any sort of wading bird- no cranes, herons, or storks- which is what got me thinking that I'm doing these animal conversions, so why not make one myself? Herons are particularly important animals to me, emotionally, so here's one of my own.

I do these animal conversions in pairs, and since I'm focusing on a river ecosystem, I decided to build a giant catfish. The heron here mostly exists so that magical templates like demons or were-beasts have something to go off- I don't expect players to go dueling herons- but the giant catfish comes with a decent set of combat abilities and a plot hook inspired by the time someone found nazi memorabilia inside such a creature. Where's that artifact you're on the trail of? Oh someone got eaten by a fish holding it, it's probably still in there.

Additionally, when underwater, this creates a 30ft cloud of mud that grants full concealment (50% miss chance) to any creature within it.

Giant river catfish are bottom feeders, scavengers unafraid to make the transition to ambush predation, who can grow to massive sizes if not killed by predators or humanoids. Some, rarely, turn maneater. Such animals often become part of the local culture, and travelers are frequently warned of their presence- if the locals are friendly, that is. Notably, these fish can live for almost a hundred years, and have a habit of eating most anything they can find- more than one story has been told of giant catfish being butchered only to reveal metal weapons and magic items sitting in their stomach for untold decades.

Grey Seal with newborn pup |  Halichoerus grypus

Grey seals give birth during the middle of the winter. The pups have a white, long hairy pelt and weigh 10 to 20 kilograms. When they drink milk from their mother, they gain 1.5 to 2 kilograms per day! After birth, they must remain on dry land a few weeks until they shed their furry coat and build up their fat reserves.

Prinny Hero - CR 11 Demon

Prinny Rule Number 1! You must always include the word "Dood" in every line you say, dood!

Artwork is official art from Prinny: Can I Really Be the Hero?, copyright Nippon Ichi.

Prinnies are the mascots of the Disgaea series and of Nippon Ichi. They're among the lowest level demons. Worthless mortal souls with significant sins but no actual importance or aptitude may become prinnies in the afterlife, where they're forced to work as horribly mistreated slaves for eons to pay off their karmic debt. Like most demons, they have no memory of their mortal lives beyond a vague sense of how evil and worthless they were.

A common trait of the prinnies is their upbeat attitude, lazy and unintelligent personalities, their signature pirouette spin, and frequent use of the word "dood" as an interjection in their sentences. Another memorable feature of theirs is the fact that they explode if thrown. As a result, they're often used as cannon fodder - or, more accurately, cannon ammunition - by demonic forces.

Although they begin their afterlife as nothing, prinnies can gain combat experience and become stronger, advancing among the ranks of prinny soldiers, a feat that only impresses other prinnies and nobody else. A prinny hero is among the highest tier of prinnies, and is noteworthy for being capable of surviving after exploding. Sometimes.

They lack a few common demon abilities like telepathy and fire resistance, which is on purpose. See also the CR 1 prinny that I posted earlier this week.

Honestly, prinnies only attack with fire, not ice, in the Disgaea games, and have absolutely no penguin-themed abilities at all, so this interpretation is a bit loose. Which is true of a lot of my monster adaptations.

SPECIAL ABILITIES

Bomb (Su) Each morning, a prinny hero creates 22 bombs which, in the hands of the prinny hero, function as thrown splash weapons with a range increment of 20 feet.  Bombs are considered weapons and can be selected using feats such as Point-Blank Shot and Weapon Focus.  A bomb deals 7d6 cold damage, and a prinny hero adds its Constitution bonus to the damage (usually for a total of 7d6+9 cold damage).  The bomb deals splash damage equal to its minimum damage (usually 16), DC 26 Reflex save negates.  The save DC is Constitution-based.

A bomb that deals a critical hit is multiplied in the same way as an alchemist’s bombs: only 1d6 of the weapon damage is doubled, and the bonus damage from Constitution is doubled.

When a prinny hero's bomb detonates, it coats unattended surfaces in the area of the bomb's splash radius in ice (as the ice slick spell).

In the hands of any other creature, a prinny hero's bombs are useless.  A prinny hero's bombs become inert and useless 24 hours after being created.

Combustible Feathers (Ex) If a prinny hero takes fire damage, each of its feathers becomes a quick-burning fuse that explodes a moment later. The prinny hero is left naked as its feathers fly off, and the explosion causes 10d6 fire damage in a 20-ft. radius. A DC 25 Reflex save halves the damage. The prinny hero automatically fails the saving throw against this damage. The save DC is Constitution-based.

Once a prinny hero explodes in this way, it temporarily loses its DR 10/cold iron, and it cannot explode again (via combustible feathers or explosive landing) until its feathers regrow. Its feathers regrow after 1d2 rounds, causing its DR 10/cold iron to return.

Explosive Landing (Ex) If a prinny hero takes falling damage, it explodes on impact. The prinny hero is left naked as its feathers fly off, and the explosion causes 10d6 fire damage in a 20-ft. radius. A DC 25 Reflex save halves the damage. The prinny hero automatically fails the saving throw against this damage. The save DC is Constitution-based.

Once a prinny hero explodes in this way, it temporarily loses its DR 10/cold iron, and it cannot explode again (via combustible feathers or explosive landing) until its feathers regrow. Its feathers regrow after 1d2 rounds, causing its DR 10/cold iron to return.

Ice Slick Charge (Su) A prinny hero's speed doubles when charging on land on a flat surface or downhill. When it performs a charge on land, a prinny hero leaves an ice trail as the ice slick spell on spaces it moves through and adjacent spaces.

When making a charge, a prinny hero can attempt to trip and overrun the target of its charge as a free action, continuing in a straight line past its target to the limit of its movement if the overrun is successful. These combat maneuvers gain a +4 bonus and do not provoke attacks of opportunity. If the prinny hero succeeds on the overrun maneuver, its movement during the charge does not provoke attacks of opportunity from the target of its charge.

Icewalking (Ex) A prinny hero can walk without penalty over areas of ice and snow and does not need to make Acrobatics checks to run or charge on ice.

HC that MC tells Diavolo about how firefighters make those charity calendars where they pose shirtless with puppies or kittens or goats or whatever, and Dia is just absolutely enchanted by the idea of it -- so enchanted, in fact, that he decides to make one with all the brothers and the exchange students :)

So naturally, he has a bunch of cute baby animals abducted from the human world for the day just for the photoshoot :) don't worry though, after the shenanigans they’re returned safe and sound from where he got them asdfghjk

There’s just one itty bitty little thing though. They take it a bit farther than just posing with puppies and kittens.

But they’re all still very much shirtless because this is really just an excuse for me to fantasize about them all being shirtless and holding baby animals 😌

Lucifer definitely poses with a bunch of little puppies. It’s classic, like him. Even though he’s already a dog dad, he definitely isn’t used to being around baby puppies and is probably a bit taken aback when they start gnawing on his fingers with their little sharp baby teef.

Obviously, Mammon poses with a bunch of the roundest, fluffiest panda babies that they can find. He totally tears up a bit when the little puffballs waddle up to him and cling on to his legs, and the photographer definitely makes sure to get pictures of him all teary and sniffly over the lil babies fghjklfghjk

Listen, for Levi’s pic they’re obviously gonna stick the water-boy in a pool with some kind of aquatic baby animal. But fish are kinda ugly and weird looking and the whole point of the calendar is to be cute. So they stick him in a pool and make him float around with a bunch of fluffy baby otters 🥺

Satan straight-up refuses to pose with anything that isn’t a kitten. Or ten kittens. Fifteen. Twenty. He’s not that picky, but he does request as many kittens as possible for his picture, and he’s absolutely going to try to sneakily keep them all afterward.

At first, Asmo is furious that he doesn’t get to pose with a bunch of lil baby kittens or puppies (they’re so classic!!! Everyone loves kittens and puppies!! And they’d look so much cuter next to him!!), BUT he does chill out when he sees all the cute fluffy bunnies they found for him 🥺 tbh he probably tries to break out his own pair of bunny ears for the photoshoot sdfghjkl

I mean, Beel already has that card where he’s posing with baby tigers and the lion cub, which is already PERFECT, so maybe they just abduct those lil babs again 🥺 they’re already friends, they can have a little reunion 🥺

As for Belphie… c’mon now. have you SEEN baby sloths? They’re ADORABLE. Give him 5. Let them cling onto him for dear life like he’s their sloth papa. They’ve got those sweet big eyes and make the cutest little meeping sounds and when they aren’t taking pictures they can all nap together 😭

Now I did say that the undateables were going to be in on this too, right? 👀

PICTURE THIS. DIAVOLO. WIELDING FLUFFY, WHITE BABY SEALS, ONE IN EACH ARM. MAYBE? IDK HOW BIG BABY SEALS ARE BUT HE’S HUGE AND STRONG AND THEY’RE FLUFFY AND SWEET AND HONESTLY HE COULD EVEN BENCH PRESS THEM IF HE WANTED TO

Have you ever seen a baby Japanese dwarf flying squirrel?? Because they’re really soft and round and chumby and I think it would be really cute to see Barbatos with a few of them 🥺 He would hold them so gently 🥺

Solomon gets a baby koala. He’s got white hair, they’ve got white (ear) hair -- it just works :) And baby koalas are lil snuggle bugs so he’s probably not going to be able to put it down for the entire day, which would just be too cute dfghjkkjh

Simeon & Luke pose with a bunch of little ducklings and chicks!! Maybe even a lamb, idk!!! (they still wear their normal clothes though because, y’know. they’re ✨holy✨ and luke is a literal child) Little farm animals are perfect for them!! Just think about Luke holding a little yellow chick that has a grumpy little face!! And Simeon, surrounded by baby ducklings!! My heart 🥺 

And finally, MC gets their own month!! Generally speaking it would be cute and very on brand if MC posed with a little lamb, BUT I also think it would be fun if they got to pose with whatever animal they want 👀 (personally, my MC would pose with red pandas~ I wanna know what your MC’s would pick too 👀 )
