Nicely done collab. Would still want to pet

I mean, you can... But you'd probably end up being food ;)

What kind of creature is that?

It's called a 'Nightstalker', it's from a setting my GF and I created together. Basically there's a hollow world out there full of creatures that are as hollow as the planet they exist in... But as a result, they also have full-body cavity stomachs and tendrils that can bond with the nervous system of whoever's in it. The Nightstalker will use them to subdue their prey, while others will enjoy a symbiotic relationship with the planet's sentient humanoids. There's rumors that sometimes the Nightstalker will take on the personality of their prey, but it only happens occasionally.

Oha
