Shahid [lowres] (Patreon)

“The shahid is one of the earliest domesticated creatures in ysleria history. At least in this part of Nasij. They are akin to floating bulbs who drool abundantly wherever they go, which is absurdly handy when it comes to irrigation in desertic regions, as they seem to produce endless amounts of saliva seemingly on their own and without any access to a water source.

A bit gross to the touch as the saliva feels exactly as you’d expect but hey, as long as it works. I’m sure glad I’m not an amil.”
