Amongst the highest honourifics that can be bestowed on the root race cultures, with Atlantean cuisine being considered the most rarefied of all. The Iron Chef Atlantis is a god amongst gods, though us simple monkeys have forgotten this.

Water Pine
This one is interesting because it is a digitally coloured linoprint. It is of the Water Pine and the Demon (expect more of both). The trees are Water Pines as well.

Uintathere
I tried to do some justice to the huge ass of Uintatherium, but it is really difficult to do (and not usually noted in reconstructions unless 3D).

Land shark teeth
The general form of the xenocanth teeth is seen in figure A. Though they have three points, like the majority of other shark teeth (figure B), they are reversed so that the lateral spines are enlarged while the central spine is a nub.
They fit together like in figure C, overlapping their spines into the crotch of the one beside it. This gives them a surprisingly normal looking tooth row, despite the odd shape of their teeth.

Deathcaps
The black, slightly fungal, nearly gray goo servants of the great Dr. Chingis Fiveberry. They will never stop when commanded.

The Underminister (child-like skeleton)
The August Minister of Death wouldn't have succeeded without his relentless, nearly silent (at least unintelligible) presence. He has many hats, though due to his promotion to underminister he typically wears his skulls instead of the sombrero.
WYEDG
The Scarecrow, king of the masked legions, prisoner of the doll. His prison is one without walls, without form but what he gives it.

Adventuring Beetle
It had been a harsh winter, and the village had been isolated by deep drifts blocking up the passes so that only foot traffic could go through, at the very most. Supplies had dwindled. Guenter, the most skilled climber of the village set out. Though the elders generally advised against leaving the valley (as the inside out feared the true people), they agreed to set him up with the appropriate gear. They filled his satchel with enough supplies to make it out, gave him a scarf that would make the winds cooperate, and their greatest treasure: a hat of one of the special inside out that had made him not be noticed.
Guenter had been on his adventure for quite some time when I noticed him, trying to hide behind the garbage can. At first afraid, we managed to work out a deal, where I would be able to find out about them and share my findings to those of like minds (as long as their people were safe), as well as potentially call on them in the conflicts with those that would despise them if, in exchange for information on us and supplies to get the village going. Given that they most desired refuse (it is easier for them to digest, since their tolerances were different), I have managed to cheaply acquire a small army of nightmares for my cause. As they were right: most of us inside outers still fear the true people.

Creepy little shadowfaced demon
In the Fifteenth century, entirely by mistake (as he was very devout in his own way), Bosch acted as a channel for all sorts of nasty demons to slip into this world, where they have been slowly combining and multiplying since then. These imps (for an indirect channel accidentally formed by an artist can only draw so much up) are generally a tortured lot, small, with great deformity. They often cannot even manifest, instead being things mostly of psyche.
I found this one trapped by a poor illustration of a summoner's circle in one of my books. Though not summoned to it, he had gotten trapped there. He is, in his words, "a blaighte of caencurs aboute the earse of mise". Since I don't mind cankers on my mice, I freed him into my service to go do what he does best. I am still awaiting the final results.

The River Shark who speaks for his people
The legions are many, of things that are not, strange creatures, strange objects and the combination therein.
The River Sharks lived during the Devonian. Their forms were streamlined, with fewer vertical parts than their seaward cousins. Much like the later suchids, they waited in the shallows for their prey, strong predators of the river system. In other reflections, they walked out of the rivers instead. Over time, they reflect us. Sometimes both reflections are present. That is the case here, his bifurcating teeth speaking of promises between us, neither side respecting them. Beware the shark that walks.
