Round #160 Satyr Slayer!

Topic:
Satyr Slayer!

Satyr Slayer-- A Satyr Slayer is a creature that slays Satyrs. I'll post a pic for those who are not familliar with the word. The Satyr Slayer should probably look like it inhabits an environment where Satyrs would dwell. Mostly they live in forests, woodlands and grassy glens. Satyrs are fairly pleasant creatures on the whole. Given to hunting with bow and arrows, playing the pan flute, drinking too much, getting rowdy, and knocking boots. (Or in their case -- hooves.) The Satyr Slayer should probably look pretty mean. Bit of a killjoy, perhaps. Maybe they get irritated because Satyrs always look like they're having such a good time.

Deadline:
Monday November 16th!!! New Deadline!!! 2009

This is a Satyr I illustrated for Paizo Publishing's Pathfinder RPG Bestiary released last month. Your monster should look like it would give a guy like this guy a world of hurt before giving him the big dirt nap.

Satyr Sadist? Satyr Slayer? Say Sadistic Satyr Slayer three times fast!

Michael Jaecks: With skillz like that, you should make some creatures of your own and participate with us for a change!

I think Im going to go the demon/monster route this time. The backstory also allows for some pretty unique scenes to unfold around this week's creature.
Fun stuff!

What about a devilish opposite to the Satyr? A dark twin eternally seeking its Satyr nemesis to silence them.

A sketch-

**DefiledVisions** · November 2nd, 2009

haha we all think the same? I thought how the satyr is half human half goat, and how the slayer also would be part goat, part something.. having some kind of grudge against these more civilised relatives.

edit, added sketch
basic idea: satyrs, the favored child of some god - the gods younger brother jealous, also wanted to bring creatures to life, not allowed, in anger started experimenting on the earlier satyrs.. the older brother unaware, kept shaping them, giving them a more humanlike appearance over time while the younger one twisted the captured ones into madness, mutating limbs and bodies - lives only to kill the favored children.

Couple WIPS. Like 20 30 minutes work so far. Just kind of getting some ideas down, not sure on a few things. Will probably work a couple more ideas as well once I see where this one is going.

**Lenorekitty** · November 2nd, 2009

I finally have time to participate!

This is such a fun topic, so open to interpretation.
Great Satyr Michael!

Meh the more I work this the more I'm not sure of it, lol

**Pixelestial** · November 2nd, 2009

Cool topic! I recall we got some quality entries for the Unicorn Hunter topic some time back, so I hope this topic really sparks people's imaginations too.

**AestheticMachine** · November 3rd, 2009

really looking forward to this one, hope i can finish in time (midterms!)

some thumbnails. all are based on the idea of creatures using lures and pheromones to lure naughty satyrs.

**Tyrus** · November 3rd, 2009

Just an idea- The Satyr Sucker
Half Chupacabra-the goat sucker
Half Vampire-the people sucker
Pretty neat huh?

**bad_painter** · November 3rd, 2009

Well I'm definitely no good at creature design, but DefiledVisions sparked a quick doodle with his cool mythos idea. Pardon the bad anatomy and ugly lines... maybe some one can expand on it?
