Now for some art, namely of the Tchotchke. The pronunciation is as weird as the name, Cha-ch-ka.
The Tchotchke are a creature from my science fiction novel in progress. They're large, the size of stags but capable of being far larger if enough resources are available to them, and no two are alike in their horror. The masks pry apart and off, exposing sinew and muscle. They make a variety of sounds, but are most known for their ability to use high frequencies to shatter glass. Larger Tchotchke can even warp steel this way. Little is known about them by most sentient races, with the exception of an elusive and secretive elder race, the Lixir.
These creatures are in part inspired by my own night terrors, naming and drawing them being a way to take some of their power away.
