Profile
Gippy • Druid • Guardian
"TBA"
GIPPY is a sort of mascot. She's the guardian of the wetlands, and although generally a kind soul, will question your motivations for visiting to ensure you pose no threat to the local biodiversity
Notes
- Gippy has a feral design and a dragonborn design - feel free to draw one, the other, or even mix the two!
- She does not believe that any living thing deserves to die aside from as a part of the natural food web, but she will rip your legs off if you try and hurt her home.
- One nearby town has a rumour of a benevolent swamp god who can grant you safety in the marshes. Another town has a rumour about a malevolent bog monster that will kill you and eat your heart if you go into the swamp. Gippy doesn't like to be thought of as a god or a monster - she sees herself as more of an ambivalent sentient animal that should be respected.
- She lost her front right leg/arm to a necrotising bacteria.

Notes
- Gippy is missing her right arm - you can either draw in completely missing or if drawing the dragonborn/anthro version, she usually uses magic to form another arm when fighting.
- Her shapes are based heavily off a blue tongued skink, and her eyes and tongue are the same colours as they are on a BTS! So just pull colours from a photo of one if you need.
- The plants on her body are flexible in design EXCEPT the maidenhair fern on the top of her head.
- Her horns are meant to look a bit like a braided Sansevieria cylindrica plant, except both stalks are twisting the same way.
- The little red things coming off her arms are like Sundews.
- IMPORTANT NOTE she has teeny teeth, again like a BTS! Her bottom jaw is quite fat and round
Gippy's friend and fellow guardian, Evanesce is a little more ruthless in her ideas on how to stop people destroying their lands. Eva's guarding domain is the temperate rainforest bioregion.
A human researcher and ecologist that Gippy gets along with very well. She learns a lot about humans from him, and in return he studies the life in the swamp. He's one of the only people that does not face Evanesce's wrath in the nearby rainforest biome.
