The 26th creature of the #SillyBestiary is the Vouivre. I mean Guivre. Or Wyvern.
This is going to be complicated.
#digitalart #vectorart #vouivre #guivre #wyvern #dragon #frenchfolklore 1/4

Digital vector art of the Vouivre a french "dragon". She (yes, SHE) is a bipedal dragon with a long serpentine body, a forked tail dragon wings and pigs legs. (look, french folklore is WEIRD). She is also wearing a golden crown and her eye is a red ruby. She has a big happy smile with a lot of spaces fangs and her long pink tongue is also forked. Her skin is green, except and legs, still pigs colored (pink, those are pink). She is standing on a lily pad, on dark green marshy water and surrounded by pink and purple lily flowers.

The 28th creature of the #SillyBestiary is a really obscure one. Even I, a big fan of mythozoology didn't knew about the Carcolh.
Yes, this is a giant carnivorous snail.
I told you french folklore can get WEIRD. 1/3
#digitalart #vectorart #snail #carcohl #frenchfolklore #letsgetweird

digital vector art of a Carcolh, a giant carnivorous snail from french folklore especially Hastingues in the Landes.
It is shown here as a giant purple snail, with a forked tail, four tiny tentacles on its front two under his globulous eyes and a giant drolly mouth, wide opened on its many many teeth. It also has a spiral shell with spines on top, teal and stripes with purple.
It is oozing in a dark purple and black cavern,inside the tuc of Hastingues.
