Notes:

Prussia is obviously inspired by Cardverse

Knights Templar is here instead of the other ex-immortals because I have a soft spot for him (he is literally an angel here, with a shotgun!!!)

I know, natural lions don't exist in Europe, but England (and many other Europeans) use them as their national symbols. I didn't want too many Aslans in the list and I decided that Netherlands (and his siblings) are better off as rabbits, and I can't think of anything else for Iggy, so he's the lion now

I will one day draw this AU because for some reason I'm starting to like [animal]boys and [animal]girls (NOT FURRIES, but ok maybe I'll draw the furry version as well because they exist in Arknights heh. An excuse to practise drawing animals lol)

I guess you COULD use this as a reference for an HP au because PATRONUSES

Ok, I'll admit, I love Eng and Port as a lion and a wyvern because look at this!!!

Taiwanese rush to buy patches being worn by their air force pilots that depict a Formosan black bear punching Winnie the Pooh, as a defiant symbol of the island's resistance to Chinese war games.

I created an illustration featuring the Formosan Black Bear for a deck of playing cards. It's a unique twist on poker deck design with a touch of Taiwan's wildlife!（？

As I mentioned in my Klance Goose doodle upload, I recently got back from visiting the country of Taiwan for a week with my sister and brother-in-law. Had a great time and loved exploring the capitol Taipei and the area around it, especially the Cat Village (GO IT’S GREAT). It was also nice seeing my brother-in-law’s family for the first time. If you visit (which you should) you will see a lot of cute Black Bear mascots everywhere since the Formosan Black Bear is the national animal of Taiwan (and like one of their only carnivore species around). They’re pretty cute so I wanted to draw one to celebrate the trip.
