#Nguruvilu

Nguruvilu is a cool monster for you.

Nguruvilu, the 254th Known One.

Dragons in South America and Mesoamerica

My creative project Dracones Mundi is a field guide to dragons of the world - I need to add more dragons to South America and Mesoamerica I think? This is a post to show what I have so far, in honour of Smaugust!

The first dragon I will discuss is the coatl. Coameh have two subspecies: the dry forest coatl and the rainforest coatl (excuse to base appearances closer to Aztec or Maya depictions of coameh, Maya = rainforest, Aztec = dryforest), depicted here is a dry forest coatl; the rainforest one is larger with a smaller frill. These are found in Mexico.

Closely related to the coatl is the flaming serpent, with several more subspecies (tlilcoatl, cherruve, tsamtás, mboitatá, plus a few others I will describe when I do North American dragon post) - it is an iridescent dragon, sometimes black with gold shining iridescence, but usually flame-coloured. When swimming through the air, catching sunlight, it looks like a living fire. These are found throughout Mexico and South America (and, as I mentioned, some in North America too!)

Then we have a dragon from Patagonia, the nguruvilu or fox serpent (I may make longer and add the distinctive tail with a claw on the end of it, this was a rushed doodle just getting the gist of half-fox-half-serpent while still fitting with the Dracones Mundi crocodile-dragon vibe) (the fox colours are based on the grey fox found in South America)

And lastly we have a 100% made up based loosely on pop culture 'fae dragon' or 'butterfly dragon', part of the winged serpent family in Dracones Mundi (dragons with 4 wings and very small arms and a distinctive tail fluke). As I had a group of 4-winged dragons, I thought a butterfly dragon might be fun! I'm plopping these into the Amazon rainforest.

Also, cockatrices have a worldwide distribution so they are found in Mesoamerica and South America too!

Some supposedly say that good kalku or machi can force a nguruvilu to move away from a particular location in a public ritual by diving in, fishing out the creature, and then threatening it with a knife to stop its attacks before placing it back in the water.

[scarletthedeadhand]

Do ya think that there could be massive sea nguruvilu in the seas near chile that are the cause of maelstroms out there? I believe there could be.

[skittleswonders]

Time for something a little different, after years upon years of iteration, experimentation and designing think I've finally nailed down a fursona design I can be 100% happy with. Basically an aquatic dragon/fox thing based on a south american cryptid. Also formally coming out as ace as a bonus! Will be using this weird big guy to rep me in any posts needing it in the future.

[therummonster]

because of the weird long noodle with a hand tail, that is a nguruvilu. fox snake thing.

he's lanky, flinky is noodle, therefore lanky noodle.

(no, sterling did not take kayla's leg, there was a time they were going to reattach it but he forgot.)

2 Snake FruitxKumiho options that I did a quick googling for 1. There's a Chilean mythical creature called a Nguruvilu that's pretty literally a serpentine fox, could be simplified to Foxsnake Cookie since the name literally translates as such 2. Kumiho is a Marshmallow Fox specifically so perhaps Ambrosia Cookie (a fruit salad that famously contains marshmallows) would work or some other food similar to it

The Nguruvilu sounds interesting, but I’m not sure about the name Foxsnake Cookie, it sounds a bit too much like a mishmash of the names

I do like Ambrosia Cookie though, I think I might go with that

A recent commission: "Water Fairy Vulpix line (3-Stage)"

I was originally going to make it based on something called Nguruvilu, which is a mythological fox-like creature that lives in a river and has a claw tail. But instead I went with something that looks more like a vulpix/goldeen fusion. I think the prettiness of the goldfish pattern along with the pearls help is look like a fairy type. I'm really proud of how these turned out, especially the final stage.
