My happy Chimera Ant family. Proud papas Goathi, Bihorn and their new little horned monster, Periwinkle. :] Yes, Peri is their biological son, no I don’t know how to explain Chimera Ant physiology.

Biology goes out the window when it comes to fantasy - hell, I've ran speculation that with most dwarves being born of earth and animus, children are considered to take what gender they prefer, and be the gender they prefer.
Besides - male and female dwarves look enough alike that they confuse others, right?
But enough about that this is fantastic and so damn beautiful ;_;

No no no no, you don't understand, this is the prophesied prince who is destined to bring everlasting peace to the Chimera Ants ; it's only fitting that he had a miraculous birth : Jesus was born from a virgin, Momotaro was born from a peach, Periwinkle was born from a big hairy man, it all makes sense... Okay, let's just say that it was weird Chimera Ant biology and the only thing Peri is destined for is a sweet and happy life with his dads and the boyfriend that you are inevitably going to give him (and don't forget to give some love to his brother too, that's not because he is a tail that he doesn't deserve it). Seriously though, I never thought that we were actually going to see their offspring one day, but I am really glad that you decided to extend their story, because they are royally adorable together. The way baby Periwinkle is timidly grasping Bihorn's mustache with his tiny hand while looking in the eyes of the man who carried him all this time is just so heartwarming, and Goathi looks really attractive with his newly grown beard : they are one big hairy happy family of handsome horny horned men, the next step is to adopt a dog...
Well, they were given shelter and a place to stay (in the barn) by a kindly older human couple who Bihorn and Goathi met during their escape from Meruem and his loyalists. So I'm sure they already have a dog by proxy and some chickens and other common farm animals in their lives. :P I wish I could tell you it's nothing but sweetness and warmth in Peri's life, but let's be real, I'm never that easy on my characters. He tends to go exploring, wanting nothing more than to see the world when he gets older. It does get him into trouble, but I can't blame him either. At least his home life is good, with two strong, protective papas.
Ahem, you realize that you are now contractually obligated to make a picture featuring the farmer couple that helped them. I mean, people who casually offer a couple of runaway monsters to stay in their barn must have a pretty interesting story... But now I wonder, if Bihorn is physiologically able to bear Chimera Ant babies, does it make him a queen, and how long would it take for him and Goathi to give birth to a new colony ? Haha, Periwinkle and his brother may have a surprise the next time they come home from one of their perilous adventures*. Two strong, protective papas and dozens of siblings. I am pretty sure it's not what you are going for, but I thought that it was an idea worth mentioning. ;)
* It would make a good title for a children book : "Periwinkle's perilous peregrinations".
