Habelkef Collection
These illustrations depict Habelkef, a rowdy and impulsive Mythtuf, and his encounters with various floral species and the creatures that populate the Otris world.
Habelkef and the Withering Bush
Habelkef runs away from a creature known as a withering bush. It has the ability to dry up environment and the lifeforms it touches. In the background of the Biggle Forest, large plumes of smoke exit the Sulfur Spring orifices.
Habelkef Flies Away
Habelkef glides through the Biggle Forest, passing by water fruit and the jutting branches of the folding bushes.
Habelkef and the Roly Polies
Habelkef flees from a mass of Roly Poly’s, oil slick creatures that can connect with one another to make a bigger hoard. The flora are used by the Mythtuf as building material.
Habelkef and the Laser Lichen
Habelkef dodges out of the way of a massive beam from a laser lichen as he skirts across the water's surface.
Habelkef Searches
Habelkef uses an ability known as “cellular awareness” to project his mind and search for the Quintresier through their genetic material. The Quintresier are an alien species that has been feuding with the Mythtuf for centuries.
Habelkef and the Scorchers
Surrounded by Scorchers, Habelkef eats a crystal-like flora known as Needle Melters. They are a sweet delicacy for the Mythuf that dissolve from the enzymes found within the alien’s saliva.
Habelkef and the Meat Tree
After attempting to harvest some rhodolith’s, Habelkef is ensnared by an algae species as he hangs upside down in the midst of a meat tree in the Biggle Forest.
