a drawing of an alien creature. his name is Watama and he looks a bit like a raccoon (?) with dark greyish beige feathers and a long shaggy tail and mane. his expression is nervous, with his teeth bared slightly. he has four eyes. two are red, two are normal, all four are quite big. he has a small snout and long dark claws.

My horrible son, Watama. He is a sophont living in a series of caves in a big colony along with other creatures of his species (not sure what I will call them yet) and technically he is a subtroglophile since his species has to leave the caves to get food etc (they are omnivores but eat lots of bugs. Yummy). His species is nocturnal, hence the big sad wet eyes. Also his species usually wears clothes of some sort since it's quite cold where they live, I just haven't drawn them yet. Watama is a male, but like the Kerilone who he is distantly related to, when he reaches a certain age and body fat percentage, he'll become a female, and get a lot larger and more sedentary, and lose the red pigmentation around his chest spiracles. This won't happen for him for a long while though, since he's pretty skinny for a whatever-he-is, although you can't tell because of his thick layer of plumulaceous feathers. He is quite a drab example of his species, but they aren't generally super colourful anyway - there's not much point if you live in a dark cave.
