Description
I don't know what to call this creature. Any advise?
It lives in the widespread swamps of Vacca-Tua, lurking in the murky waters of Golnau River. It is active during the dusk and night, hunting in the deficient light of the night sky.
There are six eyes, of which the two biggest only opens when it's dark.

The aboriginals from the area of Vacca-Tua, believes that this creature possesses holy powers and wisdom, and can kill you on the spot just by looking at you with it’s big eyes.

There are many myths told about this timid creature. One is about the giant ancient Father, called Palusophos, slumbering deeply within the old and mostly unknown parts of the swamp. He is told to be the holy carrier of all secrets and knowledge of the mortal world and beyond, and he can see to the end of the world, into the mind of all living and to the realms of the gods – all with his powerful golden eyes.
Many heroes in legends have visited Palusophos in hope of gaining knowledge to help them in their heroic deeds. It has not always been a success. Palusophos is a proud and very irritable creature, so if someone awakes him without being polite and careful, that person will certainly end up as a pile of mashed flesh and bones.
Of those who survives the first danger, Palusophos does often demand a sacrifice from the hero. I most cases, the sacrifice has to be what the hero reveres and loves most in his life.

Oh my… I should write that down somewhere else instead of here. Well… you will hear the rest of the story some other day. ^^

This is my first attempt of coloring in Photoshop, and I kind of like it. ^^

Based on an old sketch of mine.

This one is better and newer.
