I work for the site http://worldofumbria.net

It's an adoptable pixel critter site (in a magic/steampunk world)

I've been spriting for almost 10 years (4 of them spent at Dragcave.net )

I love the story of the headless horseman.. so what better Halloween festive creature than his horse??

I made it a bit undead and all spooky hellish. ooOOoo

Horses are a pain in the ass!! AUGH damn you leggssss
(my mom and Shara the Unicorn helped me figure out dang anatomy on them)

"Spectral [Colts/Fillies], upon hatching, look and act different from most other creatures. They are born with both skeletal exterior components dotted about their bodies and an unhealthy attachment to pumpkins. Spectral [Colts/Fillies] require a pumpkin by their side at all times, or they will die due to depression. If the pumpkin is taken away, Spectral [Colts/Fillies] will become enraged until the pumpkin is back within hoof's reach.

Once fully grown, Spectral [Stallions/Mares] can strike fear into those who are unprepared for them, and are able to appear out of nowhere in a puff of black smoke. The attachment to the pumpkin from birth have increased to bouts of fury and violence if the orange gourd is not returned to its side immediately. The neigh that eminates from the vocal cords of Spectral [Stallions/Mares] sounds like that of rattling bones."
(not my writting, site stuff, not my lore..but I did create them)
