Crocotta

Description

In mythological tales, the lupine Crocotta of India stalks humans and dogs, feasting upon their flesh at every opportunity. It is a wonderfully lazy beast, and rather than risk exhaustion from chasing after prey, prefers to imitate the sound of a man vomiting in order to lure curious canines towards its hiding spot. As every Crocotta knows, dogs are unable to resist the vaguely intriguing sound of a human retching. It will speak to farmers in their own tongue to grab their attention, slaughtering them when they are within range. Poignant questions such as "why are there always carrots in it?" never fail to incite curiousity *.
* Not to mention the obligatory know-it-all who will immediately begin blabbering on about stomach linings.

Coloured pencil and acrylic on illustration board; 22 x 15 cm.
