Description If you've been following some on my more recent postings of anthro MLP characters you might be wondering what their opponents from the Realm of Shadows look like? Well they come in many forms but here's one example that I sketched out very quickly this afternoon. The ponies refer to them as Shadow Ripper and they look like a cross between a Xenomorph and a Velociraptor. They are quick, often move is small packs, and if the right magic is in the area they can materialize out of the shadows in a local environment.

    Fortunately the ponies have developed countermeasures to prevent them from doing that last trick in many areas, and for their ferocious nature they don't take too much force to put down if the correct equipment and techniques are employed.

I hope you like what you see. Please help make more art like this possible by supporting me at Patreon

Ooh, I do love your creature design. It is quite inspiring. Would you mind if I draw my own anthropomorpic version of it? I will give you credit for the original creature design and species.

Ah! They look a bit like the Zerglings from Starcraft.  I bet they're fun to tango with.

Kind of reminds me of Slivers from Magic the Gathering. Creepy/cool buggers.

yes but even if they were the size of pigeons they'd be scary in swarms.

But they are not! They are the size of a greyhound!

Funny how both the creatures it resembles often vocalize with hissing and high-pitched shrieks. Guess that makes it easy to figure out what they sound like.

Oh good god... It's no wonder Blooms hates the shadow realm... These things are rather harsh on the eyes alone... O_o

Yeah this is why Applebloom doesn't really find haunted houses that scary anymore.

A haunted house? Really? Compared to these real nightmares, a haunted house is a source of giggles for A.B.

One has to wonder what they evolved to hunt. Or are they reflections of mortal fears, and thus reflect fears of predation and bloody death?
