Fun Fact: The clothing and pose are based off of myself in a family portrait! I cropped my family members due to confidentiality, but you still clearly tell day 11 was inspired by this.

Real life picture of myself, face and family censored, wearing the same outfit as the Weretober 2025 Day 11 prompt.

You encountered a Dino-snore!

There is a band of dinosaurs who enjoy sleeping as much as I do. From the Please-let-me-sleep-iosaurus, to the Tri-zzz-eratops. However, there is one who is most feared. Watch out for the Therizino-snore-us! They're having pleasant dreams!

#Weretober Day 10: Dinosaur

A Therizinosaurus sleeping under a blanket, snoring happily as they snuggle a dinosaur plush.

You encountered a Me-goth-erium!

What's that trailing down their teeth? Oh, I'm sure it's just some vampire juice they had earlier, you know—beets, carrots, oranges—that sort of thing!

#Weretober Day 9: Megatherium

An anthropomorphic ancient sloth, with bat-like wings of shadow, sitting down while wearing a black top hat with a rose and feathers, a black cape, silky dress pants, dark vest with a bloodied propped collar, and leather boots with various belts.

You encountered a Wail Shark!

A scream echoes from the depths of the bathypelagic zone. From the dim light, emerges a figure of pure terror! This guy... is not that terror, but close enough!

You encountered a Carnival-rous Unicorn!

His work is great, just don't ask for backstage passes. They cost... "extra."

You encountered a Light-ger!

This electrician's job is to make sure heaven has the right amount of lighting for all those plentiful pictures found in the image search results!

#Weretober Day 4: Liger

You encountered a Hippoglyph!

Some would say reading unlocks a world of imagination. Reading this guy just brings you pain.

I've noticed that whenever I draw a facial expression, I end up making the same facial expression, in real life, as I'm drawing it. Does anyone else do this?

TheBarkinHyena 🐾 @thebarkinhyena.bsky.social · 9d

You encountered the Gnoll and Void!

A wizard who feeds off the mild disappointment of those experiencing low signal, static, lost documents, and unstable internet connection. They grow stronger with each sigh from those who have lost their happiness to the void.

#Weretober Day 2: Gnoll

An anthropomorphic hyena wizard emerging from a portal, holding a staff composed of a broken television and loading symbol. Their pointy hat dawns a red "X" and a broken WiFi signal.

You encountered a Wool-f!

Using their naturally thick wool-like fur as camouflage, they hunt sheep right under an unassuming shepherd's nose. At least, that's what's said. For all we know, they're getting ready for the holidays and use their fur as a make-shift sweater.

#Weretober Day 1: Wolf

An anthropomorphic wolf with wool growing from their body.

You're good at that! That's what you'll probably do when I wrap my arms around you and hug the heckie out of you! :3

Been playing Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds for the past hour. The amount of dopamine my brain is pumping out from seeing this alone makes me happy!
