Further concepts from the “slightly too cheesy” take on Torture Squid villains. Obvious next step follows, a fungus creature done up “Monstrous Manual” style. Stats (not) forthcoming.

These guys were a concept for Torture Squid. Dudes who worship fungus you know, but I went too D&D with it. I still like ‘em though.

Write the name of the form/move, and explain it if you feel it needs it. I’ll be perusing the suggestions, and, if yours is awesome enough, I will use it in the final showdown. That’s right, you have the opportunity to contribute to the ending of Bear Quest.
And if I do use your suggestion, not only will you get to see it rendered in full Bear Mauling Glory, I will also send you a free Bear Quest poster! So make sure you put down your email address so I can contact you if you win.
Go out and tell everyone, The Bear needs help delivering the most epic kill of all time!

Hey, I have blurbs to quote now. On my way up! Here’s the link to the the rest of it (scroll down a bit).

No proper Bear Quest pages this week because I’m on vacation. But don’t fret, I’ve got this guide to help you know and destroy your enemies!
Was looking through some old files, and found the fan art I did for Jeff Vandermeer’s City of Saints & Madmen. It’s a King Squid, I think maybe the first squid I ever drew. I still rather like it, sort of a forerunner to working on The Torture Squid.
