Yolmi Illustrations 1

Furthering Yolmiposting, here are some illustrations based on the monster descriptions in The Realm of Yolmi. These drawings are frankly not at all what I first envisioned when I read the descriptions, but they seem to be what’s come out of me trying to draw them. A fun exercise, whether or not these drawings become canon to my imagination.

Ke

Move: 2”

Creatures with a horrible disposition who spit quik-glue which roots one to the ground and attracts lightning half the time. If asked what the substance is, they will reply it is merely tree sap and conclude in laughter. - p. 50

Ki

Move: 3”

Akin to the Ke, these creatures spit caustic acid up to a range of 20”. When asked what the substance is, they will laugh and say it is in the imagination. Only the most gauche of Adventurers will be fooled, however, because the substance smells strongly of sulphur. - p. 50

Reakles

Move: 15”

These moth-brained, ostrich-like creatures are incredibly stupid. In fact, when attacked they feel they must have been naughty; otherwise, why would they be attacked. Consequently they will kill themselves. If simply spoken to they will break off their leg as “punishment.” - p. 50

Regik

Move: 6”

These creatures used to be Used Car Salesmen. Any one they encounter will be subject to a long sales pitch and unless the prospect buys a totally worthless car for over 6000 Rupniks, the Regik will go mad, singing meaningless songs and kick the prospect in the head. - p. 50

Simul

Move: 12”

These are fish with feet. They are eager to please and will instantly change appearance to anything the Adventurer is thinking of. Alas, when touched, they revert. - p. 51
