This is a fanart of sorts i did for the game Allods online, my character Staropramen and one of his mounts, molten wolf named K-9.
When questing you can select an option to be lead to the quest you have active, it’s an automove option and you’re being basically lead by a shiny ball of yarn, it’s rather adorable, especially when you imagine your mount is joyfully chasing the yarnball C’:
i believe it’s a reference to classical fairy tales, love the game for that
