Reference - Muirin and Scathach

So I love cryptozoology. Love it love it love it. So when I adopted the design on the left from *Kinla, I kind of took an idea and ran with it (as I am apt to do).

The Doyarchu is a beast from Irish folklore and I love all things creepy and Irish.

"These creatures have been reported as living in Irish lakes from ancient times. They are highly aggressive towards people and dogs. They attack by grasping prey and dragging it into the water, and they are often a match for the fiercest dogs, especially when they get their opponents into the water. They are often found in pairs. One animal usually stays hidden while the other attacks, but it will appear if the first animal has trouble. If one of these is killed, the other becomes extremely angry and will risk its own life to get revenge, suggesting that these animals may have monogamous pair-bonds of exceptional strength. One report tells of a doyarchu that pursued the men who had killed its mate for twenty miles, even though it was at a disadvantage on land."

Muirin (pronounced "MIR-een", Gaelic for "born of the sea") is corporeal; it is material and can be touched. Scathach (pronounced "SKAW-hokh", Gaelic for "shadowy; ghostly; frightening") is incorporeal: it is essentially a violent spirit.

It also has human forms that it uses to lure humans and animals into the water; a young girl for children and mothers, a beautiful woman for men and a handsome man for women (to be drawn at later dates~).

Muirin's original design belongs to , but both of them are mine. c:
