With his sword clattering against the wall, the strange creature leans back.

"Talk is cheap, however my time and services are not. Get to the point before I take the fees from your hide. And if I like you enough, you -might- even get my name."

Jeez, ever since I came up with these critters, they've had me on a drawing frenzy... I drew a Cactus Vael for a classmate, but sadly forgot to scan it before giving it to her.

Anyway, this guy is an anthro Brawler Vael, which is a vael physically enhanced in any way by magic. Nigh-perfect warrior, immune to magic, mental control, and damn near impossible to hit with normal attacks, this guy decides he might as well make an honest living with these strengths. And what better way than being a sword-for-hire?

As you can tell by my "signature", this drawing, this character, and the base creature are all copyright to me :D
