Christmas Contest 2017 is Here! See Description! by MischievousRaven on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

The above creation is the 358th QuillDog in existence, and is rated rare. c: This creature is said to inhabit the darkest shadows of a tall-standing evergreen forest, proudly bearing the responsibilities as the forest's protector. It is quite unique in its power-- the berries it produces along its tail and quills can be either fatally poisonous or life-saving in nature, all dependent on what the QuillDog decides. If it is feeling threatened, it may produce poisonous berries; for a friend, it may produce life-saving, nutritious berries instead. It can also produce berries that cause paralysis, hallucinations, act as a truth serum, the list is endless. Whatever the QuillDog wills, the berries become! Because of this, many a traveler have sought its fruit, forcing it into isolation in the deepest hollows of the forest. It is said that it has lured children away from deadly fruit, and towards fruit that is safe. Corvids often exchange their ebony feathers for the creature's sweet berries, and the creature adorns itself with the feathers it receives.

Do you want an opportunity to win the above QuillDog? Then read below! c:

***In regards to the written fox OC description: you can base it off of me in any capacity-- what I look like, what I like, what you think I'd enjoy, etc. Please note that your written OC description may end up being flushed out by me for personal OC use, in part or wholly.

ALSO: Failure to include OC description in comment invalidates your entry. Good luck!

You may alter it (but must make sure it is unique enough from all other QuillDogs—major changes must be confirmed by me; please check with me for clarifications), you may re-upload it (but must list me as the original creator in the description of the uploaded piece).
