Not sure of any colours associated with Keelhualiday. Unless Hydrus is?

The Nightmare Yaherra should be awesome though. And Graveyard too. :D

Yeah!! It's absolutely gorgeous, I'm still in a certain dillema: do I create a new pet or change one that I already have... but definitely will have to have one <3


I do not love you except because I love you;
I go from loving to not loving you,
From waiting to not waiting for you
My heart moves from cold to fire.

Oooh, I really love the idea of it being a counterpart to Zentus with the nightmare thing. And also it being deceptively beautiful to lure you in before it effs you up, reminds me of some other mythological creatures that I've read about before but can't remember the names of.

I think this is the perfect sort of thing for a mysterious former experimental pet (has science gone too far?? probably).

i guess we&;ll have to wait and see! some kind of psionic scream would be a neat twist, or euclid could be exaggerating the screams, though rl peacock yells are startling to say the least, p:
either way he definitely wants you to know these are Scary! Not Cute! This Man Only Makes Monsters! (see: all the chibi experiment announcements, wherein he remarks that his glorious experiments are rendered abominations when cute-ified). his rejection of the cute/pretty aesthetic is... steadfast, haha
Haha, you're right! :D Euclid seems to be embarrassed for creating so many cute/beautiful creatures! :P Poor guy... at least he is consistent with how he describes his creations XD

I actually feel that the more I think about it, the more I am can see Yaherra being the ying to the yang of the Zentu. I can't wait to see where Subeta lore takes us with these ideas. I wonder if the Yaherra will have a part in Morostide this year, or maybe future plots/events in Shengui Guo or Sacred Lands, depending on whichever way the lore goes.

I think the beautiful but deceptive creature that immediately comes to mind for me is the siren.

Wikipedia: In Greek mythology, the Sirens were dangerous creatures, who lured nearby sailors with their enchanting music and voices to shipwreck on the rocky coast..
Definitely not a peacock horse, but sirens look beautiful on the outside but can be deadly and fatal for anything that falls for its charms. Kind of like a screaming peacock-horse XD

I was pretty startled when I looked that up. Luckily I wasn't wearing headphones or my ear drums would have got blown out. :P

I thought of Sirens/mermaids as well, but I was also thinking there was a similar kind of creature that was actually a horse but now I can't remember. Ah well, I definitely like the idea of having something like that in the site lore.

[edit]The screaming thing makes me think of a banshee, although I don't think those were necessarily meant to be beautiful.

Oh and I found it, the Kelpie is one of the things I was kind of thinking of.

Quote
Kelpie, or water kelpie, is the Scots name given to a shape-shifting water spirit inhabiting the lochs and pools of Scotland. It has usually been described as appearing as a horse, but is able to adopt human form.

Great find! :) Now that makes sense, a shape-shifting horse.. I wonder if that would make a good inspiration for the Hydrus version of the Yaherra? It sounds very similar to the selkie, also scots/irish and norse/icelandic but instead of horse, its a shape-shifting seal.

I also found this list of beautiful but deceptive mythical creatures: http://listverse.com/2009/10/26/10-mythological-creatures-and-shapeshifters/ and then I realised.. omg, vampires xD of course, they are indeed similar in nature, how could I forget! :P

Yeah, it seems like there are quite a few similar creatures like that in Scottish & Scandinavian folklore, I think the Selkie might even be mentioned somewhere in the wiki page for the Kelpie.

And lol of course Vampires as well, I didn't think of that either but it makes perfect sense. I suppose the Yaherra could take its influence from quite a few of these things for the Subeta lore, maybe even different lands here could have a different version of the legend? That would be interesting.

If you've ever lived in a neighborhood that has peacocks you know that their LOUD call sounds like a woman being brutally murdered. Over and over, again. They are not at all serene sounding.

I don't agree with the name change. But rather than take it out on Nolo Sera, I'll just live with it. Meh, it'll be the same with Iridion Bomb, Faceplant, and Muffet the Spider. They'll always be their respective experiments to me.

Old, and obsolete.

I hope they don't get turned into some kind of evil pet. Ugh. I always thought of them as wise and serene, definitely not something nightmare related. doesn't fit to me. I don't like the idea of turning the pet into something just because of one line of text in the news post. :/ maybe go a different way? :)

"I like to imagine that Yaherras and Zentus do not get along too well." What? I have a chibi zentu and I'm thinking of getting a chibi yaherra! 😆

But yeah, I would love more lore for the yaherra. I'm also curious about what name the blob experiment will get.

I cannot give my dreams to Porter - Penry, because I don't dream. I wonder how Nolo Sera can fare otherwise. I wonder...

Some chibis make sense to me, too bad Chibi is common color palette.
