🔥 Happy Bowser's Day!! 🔥
I litterally discovered there was a Bowser Day this EVENING and I had to SPEEDRUN-
Btw I'll drop down here some fun facts about personal headcanon for Bowser's species and why I drew him lion/cat-like :3 ↓↓↓↓
I want to make a full post abt it one day, but for now hear me out: I'm quite convinced Bowser's species maybe be based on a French Tarasque (and probably also on Alligator Snapping Turtles and I also think Kappa from Japanese Mythology?). From my limited knowledge, Tarasques are creatures from French Mythology and Folklore that resemble a mix of a lion and bear with six limbs and a spiked turtle-like shell covered in spikes; they also have a serpentine tail and a poisonous breath (I gathered these informations from my very old book How to Raise and Keep a Dragon and from the Wiki, so feel free to correct me or add details ^^')
In my personal SMB Headcanon, Bowser's species is commonly known as "Royal Koopas" or "Dragon-Turtles", but its proper name is "Tarrasquin". They are both related to Koopas and Dragons and are often considered a specific subspecies of the latter. They do mix characteristic from Koopas/Turtles and Dragons, such as the carapace and the ability to retreat inside it (but NOT to take it off, in my Headcanon at least) and fire, horns and claws. But they also have some feline-like features, being based on Tarasques, such as their cat-like muzzles, their big paws and *maybe* some occasional cat or big-cat behaveours, such as... purring!
(I know lions themeselves can't actually purr like small cats do, but shhhh-)

GRIEF
Tarasque learns of the Papas' demise
It's brutal news, especially with Primo having been his biggest anchor since his very first days in the Ministry.
Dewdrop's words will stick - as the head of security, he should have known, should have done something, should have stuck with them every single minute just in case, he thinks. Doesn't matter that the very top of the Church made sure no word got out until the deed was done. Made sure nobody who would try to stop things would be around.
Also, ever wondered why Dewdrop's horn fell off on-stage one time? Yeah, that's why :] It held on a while but had to break eventually after sustaining so much damage and suffering Dewdrop's headbanging and jumping around during shows.
#ghost bc#the band ghost#nameless ghouls#dewdrop ghost#dewdrop ghoul#ghoul oc#dragon ghoul#tarasque#ocs#fanart#my art#YEAH UH. LONG TIME NO SEE TARASQUE HUH#GBFHGBH twas about time i did something with this lad again#started this back in june and finally finished it so this comic is kinda all over the place#and it feels like the artstyle changes a billion times through the ten pages but hopefully its just how it feels to me as the artist#and it aint too noticeable or at least isn't a bother while reading#anyway hi ghost fandom i'm still here lmfao#was so nice to do something w tarasque again i've missed him#hope yall like it ♥

Today, July 29th, is the feast day of Saint Martha of Bethany.
Saint Martha is known as the tamer of the dragon Tarasque, that terrorized the town of Nerluc. She found the creature in the process of swallowing a man, sprayed it with holy water and showed it a cross. Then she bound her girdle around it's neck and led it into the town, where the people promptly killed it.

another take on the tarasque - trying out the technique of using a stain over my usual underglaze to bring out texture

A closer look at the Terragon species!
They are usually docile in nature but can be outright hostile if they see flora being abused. Terragons are known for regulating crops, pollination, and maintaining an efficient agriculture. Their manes are capable of holding and spreading pollen as well as acting as temporary flower beds for plants to latch onto. Creating a symbiotic relationship. In these cases, they fashion fallen leaves into shell-like containers to collect water for any flora that may be catching a ride.
The coloration of the average Terragon's fur is completely random but it is thought that their colors are bound to their favorite flora. The keratin comes in shades of brown and bodies resemble various plantlife.
They reside in dense forests populated with a bountiful arrangement of flora and fauna. Icelandic inspired architecture.
When hatchlings are born they are gifted foliage crowns that matches their fur and are dubbed their bound-crown.
