Was watching this really weird old show about cowboy cows a few weeks ago. The show was cheesy and ridiculous, but the villains of the Halloween specials were cool - undead desert animals who shot lasers from their hands - so I got a little inspired to make a tiny gang of undead western animals of my own.

Bartholomew Bones is a vulture, the oldest corpse of them all. There's practically nothing left to him under that coat. He really is roadkill, having starved to death in the middle of a desert road after having been thrown out of his hometown for some pretty evil deeds.

His "pet" rattlesnake, Slinky, rests around his neck like a scarf. She's his last ditch effort of protection given it probably wouldn't take more then blowing on him too hard to really kill him. She was shot by a man who was too stupid to take her rattle as warning.

Carlson Ceeyote was in the prime of his life when he died, probably around 18 in coyote years. He took a bullet to the eye, but it was from another coyote he'd been foolish enough to duel. He's an absolute idiot, so much of an idiot he doesn't even try to cover the area where other desert animals chewed away at him.

The Swine is probably the smartest of the group, unofficially leading under the jealous eye of Bart Bones. He was mauled to death by wolves or something, whatever, he won't say. He's the greasiest, grimiest, cruelest of the bunch, but unlike the easily upset Bart Bones or the immature Carlson, he's really good at keeping himself under control.

Itty Bitty Bonnie is the only living member of the group, a hostage turned full on member. She was kidnapped as an infant, and when her parents died coming to her rescue, The Swine suggested they keep her onboard to help with future heists. Sure enough, having an inconspicuous little kid around is great for creating diversions, and she loves to use guns if she needs to.

I don't usually like elaborating on my designs because I want people to make their own interpretations of them, but sometimes I like fleshing out their stories a little more.
