**I have no earthly idea how I discovered him, aside from the fact that I fully remember him from a dream I had. He was all alone at the beginning, swimming about ((yes he can swim! I think he's an eel or something...)) when he gets stuck in an inlet (he can't stay on land for too long, he gets weak and dehydrates twice as quickly as a human would.)) Most of the dream I move back and forth between first and third person views. ((SO, during the course of this dream, either I'm him, or I'm watching him. Stalkery))
**Well, he gets discovered by a nearby school of Drow ((yes, I told you, it was a dream, I don't have control over it!)) who take him back, mostly out of curiosity, but partially because they want to experiment on him. They don't get around to it, being ADD or something and eventually halfway ignoring his existence.
**Long story semi-shorter, he ends up fucking one of the Drow chicks ((no idea really, he was wrapped around her but the moaning and movements obviously made it sex)) and I was third-person watching over his shoulder or whatever. She died like, awhile later ((I dunno, a few dream-days?)) and he's all *sob* and stuff, then I hear things in the real lifeness and wake up.

**Kinda hoping I'll dream him again so I can get more details. If I have a deja vu dream I'll fucking go nuts.

Tarusk's skin is supposed to be pearly, but I couldn't get it quite right, and the yellow tint to his quills or fur or whatever is partially highlighted from the sun, but also some natural color from him. His fingers are tipped in navy blue past the webbing, and his thumb doesn't have any. The reds flare brighter when he's angry, and his eyes were supposed to look a little more liquid. Sometimes I just can't win. I do like the way the waterlines look against my crappy rocks, though.

His coils go down to the front, then loop back to the one in front of him, then loop forward to the tail-fin. Yes, he's long. I'd guess about 25 or 30 feet long, including his "body". When he's "standing" he'd be around 7~8 feet tall, depending.

I'm not sure where it is, but there's a penis somewhere in this picture ((not actually DRAWN or anything, but somewhere on him...so don't look for it))

I thought up his name while I was editing the pic - popped into my head and it fit, really.

I've finally decided that he's identified as a Ribbon Betta Eel - fuck you, I can make shit up too

Tarusk is MINE!
~I did a teensy bit of editing to get the colors back to where I wanted them since the scanner was half-open ((sketchbook's fault)), but it looks as close to the actual picture as I could get it.
