A base of wild boar, a dash of warthog, a sprinkling of blue parrotfish, and a salmony finish. Would make more sense for propulsion if the tail were parallel to the floor – dunno about walruses, but seals manage to be terrifying over short distances. And marker caps are still awful.
Manannán’s eternal sea swine. Shit.
The whirlpool popped in a fountain of water, and the first pig spilled onto the floor, a walrus-sized monstrosity with porcine front legs armed with 9-inch hooves and tusks the size of carving knives. A forest of bright blue quills rose from its mane. Past its forequarters, the bristles stuck together, transforming into matching scales, and the body flowed seamlessly into a muscular, thick fish tail that coiled behind the beast in a classic Capricorn curve….Legend said that Mucca Mhannanain, the eternal swine, provided an endless supply of food to the Tuatha Dé.
