Known for many things and by many names, it is an unknown creature that stalks the forests...

To Warriors, it is known for its impenetrable scales and vicious, platemail-shredding tail strikes...
To Mages, it is known for its resistance to magical effects and the terrifying fangs it conceals beneath its innocent expressions...
To Locals, it is known as a guardian spirit, a creature that keeps the world's greater dangers at bay...

But to adventurers of diminutive sizes and the fey spirits of the forests, it is known as "The Forest's Ferry." Too heavily armored and too strong of leg and tail to feel their prescence, these smaller fellows often find rest riding this creature's tail as it wanders its regular path through the forest, leaving a path of pulled-up dirt in its wake as its armor plating digs into the soil it walks upon.

It is easy for small creatures to get lost in these densely vegetated areas, but with this creature's (unknowing) help, traversing the forest becomes a simple, pleasant task!

PHEW!
This picture took much longer than it had to. But! I'm happy with the result. Perfection it is not, but its by far my best picture yet, at least in my opinion~! Also thanks to a few people whose characters I borrowed (with permission of course!)
(I was originally planning to have Minnow in his adventurer's outfit, but that proved a bit too difficult for me...)
