Description
Introducing: the gnoph-keh, a species of beasts that some worshippers consider to be Ithaqua's servants and messengers. A six-legged bear with a narwhal-like horn on the head.Also - a priceless opportunity for me to draw a cute polar bear and call it an eldritch abomination.

Awww, it's just a cub! Still, best not to get too close. If the adults are half as violent as they are said to be, and since bears are already fiercely protective of their young, it would be dumb as hell to try and hug it.

Sudden vision in conjunction with my poem about Ithaqua: him commanding a huge sleigh pulled by these little guys!

But Ithaqua can fly... wait. A flying sleigh. Yes.

Yes. Now you see the potential!

Ohmygodwhatisthisit'ssoCUUUUUUUTE!!! I think this is the first time I've ever seen an eldritch abomination that looks relatively cute and harmless...I wanna snuggle with it!

If you want it to look more threatening, simply imagine that it is about five meters tall and that its eyes are blood red and never blink.
What is it with me and cutie-fying monsters, I'll never know...

Oooh, you're so lucky to live in a city with a zoo!! Do you have penguins too?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Unfortunately No.
Winnipeg (us) is getting seals with this exhibit as well, though.
The old beauty was a few decades out of date before the current rennovations, unfortunately.

Eeek, seals! They're adorabulh!
I've only been to a zoo like twice in my life (the second time I got to see trained orcas though, so I can't complain).

You want to see me poke my own eye out? XD Just kidding!
Normally I'd jump at the chance to try sewing something, but I don't have the time or patience nowadays to even attempt!

Rhoooo too bad^^
I am very disappointed ! I wanted to see that ! You should not be ashamed of the special power. Everybody in a special power.
I know how to purr like a cat and make the zombie for the perfection. But I have a friend who possesses an even funnier gift : she has hair which grow in eyebrows !
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Huh? How does a hair grow in eyebrows? Do you mean that her eyebrows are connected to her hair? Because that happens often - my grandma has the same thing, but you can't see the hairs because they're so thin!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No not, she possesses well some hair which grow in his her eyebrows (oooh little : two or three), but it is funny

I always thought they had 2 horns.
"A small bulge in the canvas far to the right suggested the sharp horn of Gnoph-keh, the hairy myth-thing of the Greenland ice, that walked sometimes on two legs, sometimes on four, and sometimes on six."
If it had just one horn that description suggest it was facing canvas. It would be ridiculous to put an exhibition figure facing away from the viewer

I honestly have no idea. I've seen images of them with one and with two horns, and decided that I find the idea of a unicorn-bear a lot more appealing than, say, the idea of a goat-bear.

I always imagined it with horns as african buffalo xD

Dude - unicorn-bear. You don't find things as awesome as that every day!

Sure, go ahead. Might bite your hand off, though. It's Ithaqua's beloved pet, and pets usually resemble their masters.

The Gnoph-keh is the size of a very large bear, if not even bigger - but that only means that it will cuddle you instead!

Either way I'm still cuddling/being cuddled!
