Description The mythical Pueblo Avanyu.

I call this one Ha'a, which is Tohono O'odham for "basket," don't ask me why. The name doesn't even make cultural sense, since the Tohono O'odham are not Pueblo and, as far as I know, didn't have Avanyu in their mythology.

Oh well.

All hail the river guardians...

Thankie!
I <3 le Avanyu.

And actually, the pattern on Ha'a is based off of the Diamond Back. It's kinda hard to tell... but that's what I was going for.

Ooh, I can see that, now. I think it's just the texture. It's a little more fur-like than scaled. But you are right, the pattern isn't really leopard like. xD; Sorry.
