#but that makes sense because Dewdrop wasn't born as a fire ghoul

[ghcstcd]

So water ghouls have fins and webbed fingers and earth ghould have hooves, what's fire ghouls physiqe? Or air ghouls? Do they have wings? Wouldn't that make them like angels, what they certainly don't want to be affiliated with?

(feel free to ignore this i just love ur art and worldbuilding 🙏👍 take care)

Dear Stranger, I hope you're taking care too.

Not all earth ghouls have hooves. Mountain just happens to, because I like mountain goats, and it makes sense to me that someone who doesn't like wearing shoes would have hooves. My quintessence ghoul oc Bismuth also has hooves, actually. No reason other than I like the design, and variety.

Air ghouls do have feathers, or a lot of them do, not all of them. There's always exceptions. But I wouldn't equate feathers to angels. There are plenty of examples throughout history of monsters and demons being depicted with feathered bodies and wings.

Angels don't make sense to look at. They mess with the mind in ways that a demon could, but not with their mere presence. A ghoul would be terrified if an Angel came down to earth without a vessel to hide their true form. There's a reason angels always start a conversation with "be not afraid."

I don't have a set of traits that fire ghouls specifically share yet. Not even for Alpha or Ifrit (who doesn't have a design yet.) Perhaps their elements are just a little easier to hide. Or they have lighter color of horns, compared to other ghouls.
