This build was inspired by medieval cryptids known as “wild men” or “woodwose,” which were very hairy humanoids who lived in the forest and shunned human society.

 

According to legend, hunters would attempt to capture these wild men by luring them with alcohol, getting them drunk, tying them up, and then trying to extract whatever secret knowledge the wild men might posses.

 

“It once happened in that country (and this seems indeed strange) that a living creature was caught in the forest as to which no one could say definitely whether it was a man or some other animal; for no one could get a word from it or be sure that it understood human speech. It had the human shape, however, in every detail, both as to hands and face and feet; but the entire body was covered with hair as the beasts are”

AI creation on DreamWombo

 

The prompt was adapted from a Nightcafe creation and run several times with different models on DreamWombo.

 

PROMPT:

Cryptid taxidermy. Extreme close-up shot. A tiny, grotesque homunculus lounges in a teacup, sipping Earl Grey. Alphonse Mucha, H.R. Giger, steampunk, Bogomils Universe, intricate filigree, volumetric lighting, oil on canvas, Art of Illusion, psychedelic, sci-fi, imperial colors, a masterpiece, best quality, 8k resolution.

In September 2016 I took my first trip to Point Pleasant to visit the Mothman Museum. I love cryptids so much and always feel on the fence about associating Point Pleasant, WV too heavily with it. 46 people lost their lives on the Silver Bridge on December 15th, 1967 and that event is often connected in lore to the Mothman. I support the local businesses as much as I can when we’re in town (as I’m now married to someone from the area), and while I appreciate how much the festival can do for the local economy and I love Mothman with my whole heart… I’ll always feel sadness for the lives lost during the bridge collapse.

“Faeries are nice beings, they grant wishes. Right?” – Unknown

 

While some certainly do nice things and some may even grant wishes; others still play harmless pranks to fool the mortals they encounter.

 

To most the fae are mischievous tricksters on the surface and no true threat. However the fae hierarchy stretches and grows like the roots of the oldest trees in the forest and for every bit of light and shimmer as branches raise high in the sky; there is dark and shadow as roots dig deep into the earth.

 

The Duskfall Court is the seat of shadow and where pranks are rarely harmless. Those who abide by its laws find themselves watched over by the nobility of the court.

 

Those who tread these woods best watch out because the woods watch back and will not hesitate to ensnare the unwary.
