Great looking croc.

I've been thinking a bit of this sort of creature in combat because of the gatormorph in my own comic and aside from a tail sweep, imagine how damaging it would be if one took a hold of someone's hand or foot and did the roll roll roll roll thing.

Anyway, great looking critter. I like the body design/proportions.

Thank you! And thank you for the suggestions about how such creatures might attack.

There's a lot of White Wolf stuff, where the Mokole are these evolutionary holdovers of the age of reptiles and their crinos (half-human) forms reflect that, but having them stay basically crocodiles made more sense and actually... I know everyone loves dinosaurs, but I think crocodillians are just as interesting.

Cool work.

You get super awesome bonus points of total win for drawing a Mokole.

I. I think I love you.

Thanks! Thanks? Hmmmmm.

My favorite race from Werewolf the Apocalypse. If they have a female one, I'd definitely let her have her way with me, hehehe ^.n.^

Still, awesome action shot, and the Mokole in the pic looks like a badass.

The Mokole breed book was...weird. Had some fantastic Prescott art in it, but the backstory involving dino-people made my head hurt.

I'll admit I still want to play a Zhong Lung at some point, though.

Would you believe I've never read the Mokole book? I (of course) went straight for the Nuwisha book and came away sort of soured immediately, and largely gave up on the breed books.

In a sense, the Mokolé had an easier time than the werewolves in the modern age... I mean... silver bullets, okay... but do you have any idea how much it'd cost to make GOLD bullets?

Definate benefits for having Helios as a benefactor instead of Luna.

Mokole were so cool... the book made them horrifically broken, though (buying up their age made their reptile/dino form keep getting bigger. A starting character could be the size of Godzilla, literally, and have unbeatable stats.) but if you agree not to abuse the system they can be awesome. I designed Lafitte as Mokole modern day African pirate, but the game she was for never took place....

Detailing the above a little bit more; my familiarity with the Mokole is thanks to the Player's Handbook. A superficial glimpse of them is pretty cool; you know, the croc thing, the Ife thing, the wildcards in the Amazon war thing. But I never read the Mokole book. When the Nuwisha book came out, of course I was all OOOH NUWISHA COOL MUST READ and then it turned out to be sort of lukewarm - so I didn't really poke at the other books.

It sounds like with the Mokole they did the traditional White Wolf thing of coming up with an absolutely beautiful, breathtakingly imaginative idea, and then exploring it in the dumbest of all possible ways.

I don't really dig the dinosaur thing. Crocodiles are cool enough without having to make them into dinosaurs as well. Crocs are 'way cool. They were perfectly functional critters back when the dinosaurs were around, they've been perfectly functional critters since, and they'd be really functional critters if humanity manages to extinct itself without taking the rest of the planet out on the way.

Well, it's more complex than that, so I'll give the full version. You judge it.

First, Mokole could be any reptile. The reason why will make more sense shortly. See, they're all descended from the same ancestor. Dinosaurs? No, they were also descended from the same ancestor, just much closer to that ancestor.

The Mokole are the descendants of dragons. The oldest and largest Mokole ARE dragons, and dragons can look like pretty much any giant god damned reptile you make up. So, there is a unifying principal at the core of it, and it frees one up to do other sorts of lizard men, but it also brings in dinosaur people, which are a bit harder to swallow, and then there's this idea that Africa has dragons, which is really funny considering that's one place WITHOUT legends of dragons...

just awesome! =D

Neat :D
Never got to read much about the Mokole, just the little snippets that showed up in the other tribe-books and what-not.

Love it!

The characterizations of the mokole were one of the main reasons i regret never getting to play a Werewolf game. I really like the sense of mass and power in the main figure, the powerful sweeping tail is done excellently, and the pose suggests that this is only a small effort for them.
