BESTIARY ENTRY III

Waterbeast of the Billabong

Illumination: Bunyip, 2025. Gouache and god leaf, 4"x 4".

Lurking at the edge of the water, mandibles bearing teeth that can crush a rifle, the bunyip watches. The sense of danger comes too late as the waterbeast, blending with its surroundings, is as silent as the breeze. A mound of muscle and glowing eyes is the only form witnessed as the bunyip mutilates its next prey.
