I used an extinct penguin because it’s the biggest that we know of, and that would fit well with a polar bear’s size.
Although I don’t know if this would even exist considering that polar bears and penguins live on opposite sides of the earth!
Skin Deep returns March 3rd!

Okay, but why would the animals have to live in the same location for the mythological equivalent to exist? Unless the mythological creatures are somehow influenced by their environment/culture…
When a paleontologist and a zookeeper love each other very much… :P
Kory,
Are any of the gang fans of One Piece? What do you think of the designs of the Zoan-type, who can transform into anthropomorphic animals?
I’ve another one for you to think about, and thank you again for the Afghan a while back, it’s still farout spectacular. *^_^*
Antubis from Kingdom Hospital, maybe chilling with Eleanor and Rupert while drinking milkshakes.
There was a penguin-like giant auk in the northern hemisphere. And yes of course it’s long extinct because of men.
Yes, I was going to make a statement about auks also. Seem like the appropriate penguin-like alternative.
Do you have a place on here where someone can look at all the different griffins you have drawn? there have been a lot but they are all mixed in with other reader questions and I just wanted to look at them again
I’ve been wondering — are there any sea-griffins in the Skin Deep verse? They’re a heraldic creature I found out about a while ago, basically a griffin with a fish tail instead of the lion bits, and given how both gryphons and heraldic creatures are fairly diverse and common in the Skin Deep verse it seemed like the kind of thing that might be hanging about somewhere as well.
They could be griffins affected by nixie spit.
Are there any other “mismatched” creatures like Ike?
is it still a gryphon if it’s half bear though? :P
So this reminded me of a post mentioning a seagull / raccoon griffin, “a creature that would fight God himself over a stale bagel.”
Was about to comment on it and then I noticed the pengbear already said it.
If you just had polar bear penguin without the griffin, it sounds like an animal that would be created to exist in the Avatar: The Last Airbender/Legend of Korra universe. (Of course they already have polar bear dogs and penguin seals!)
