Description
This one was made immediately after I made Breakfast, I figured I had the equine drawing skill so fresh in my head and in my hand, I'd try and do another hoofed creature, but this one, one wholly original.
So here he is, the Burricornio, or burricorn in english (the original name is in spanish, and "donkeycorn" just doesn't sound as nice), a mythical creature that's never been seen in a Bestiary. You could consider them the unicorn's rouwdy cousins, for if the unicorn is a sacred creature of the wild, the spirit of purity, the moon and the gentleness of nature, then the burricorns are the complete opposite. I utilized mainly greek myth and symbolism behind him, so instead of being a creature sacred to Artemis and Demeter, these guys follow Apollo and Dionysus. Thus, instead of taking part in the sacred rites of nature that are celebrated under the silvery moon, a burricorn is usually the center of the wildest bacchantic parties, celebrating the freedom and... playfulness of nature.
Basically the burricorn looks like your average donkey, with one single horn spiraling out from its forehead. But instead of being made of the whitest stone, like its gentle cousin, its horn is of the blackest wood, accounts saying that it feels warm, and almost pulses with the animal's hearteat if touched. Also, instead of the tufted lion's tail, the burricorn's tail is adorned with a hard appendage that looks a lot like a pinecone. Finally, these animal's eyes are usually of a wild, passionate colour, like gold, red, or in the most special of cases, the colour of wine.
Legends? Well, there are a few circulating, told to me by an old satyr I managed to chat with. They say that water touched by the burricorn's horn turns into the sweetest wine, capable of easing pain and even healing wounds... and in an almost inaudible whisper, he even suggested that the burricorn is the keeper of the secret of making Nectar, the drink of the gods. There are rumors that the horn, unlike the unicorn's, is capable of growing back, and that a flute, carved from a burricorn's horn, is capable of playing a song that can captivate anyone, including gods. On the tail he said there really weren't many legends (actually, I couldn't make any up, so if any of you have any ideas, feel free to tell them.)
Well, there you go. The Burricorn.
