Beaked Creature

Something I did yesterday just for fun and to play around with color. I realized a good portion of my creatures are on the slim side so I tried to keep this guy big and muscular.

Gelboros

An alchemist was finally able to incubate the mythic philosophers stone. However, much to his surprise, the gold used in the stone's creation surrounded the stone and formed a delicate golden creature. The alchemist kept the amazing creature as his familiar. Being an extremely clever creature it helped aid him in the creation of many extraordinary discoveries. As the alchemist grew old an weary he realized his faithful companion, sustained by the stone, was an immortal being. For the alchemist's last experiment he created a second philosophers stone and thus a second Gelboros so that the two golden creatures could forever have a companion. Since the death of their original master it is said that the two creatures will appear to and aid an alchemist who they deem worthy before once again disappearing without a trace.
