This is the way-watcher. A way-watcher is a big, shaggy beast that stakes its territory along a road and paces up and down it, generally at night. They are emotional, talkative creatures of approximately human-level intelligence. Iggy shall be encountering one in a short comic I'm working on. I haven't decided if the one he meets will be male or female. But it will be one that watches Ohio Interstate 71 between Cincinnati and Columbus.

What branch of mythology is this creature from? or did you make him up? in which case, what branch of mythology inspired this concept's design and features?
The Odious One Says:
That is a fabulous concept, totally dig it. Favorite for you.
Nanook Says:
I am all at once awed and delighted.
I love the look of this thing.
Anyway...
Female.
No one expects the weird, wise-talking monster to be female. It's extreme to the max and it will make this creature even cooler.
