So in my original head-world, Mahou, there was an incident where Nate took on a Hunter job in a forest not far from Lunac, the Darkness Expanse. Unbeknownst to him, this forest was home to an Elf who had long since turned his back on his people and everyone else. The elf, Vulmar, was very sour and had made a wild claim stating that the forest he was now occupying was his domain and would punish anyone who would trespass within. However this had been over a hundred years ago, long before Nate had ever been born, so he was unaware of the Elf's existence. And so Nate set out to hunt down a particular boar found in the forest.

Nate travelled deep into the forest and had been tracking the boar in question when someone smacked him over the head, knocking him unconscious. When he finally woke, he found himself in a bed that definitely wasn't his and quickly discovered that his body had been changed. He had become the rabbit-like creature known as a Tarute. These creatures were odd, not really being Anthromorphic, nor being fully feral. They seemed to occupy a position between the two extremes. And turned out that Tarute would only ever be a mere 4ft at their absolute tallest.

Through many trails with new friends he made along the way, Nate eventually found a way to reserve the effects of the curse that had been placed on him. Well...to an extent. While he was indeed back to being his regular husky self it seemed that the curse still had a hold on him. And now he finds himself changing at random moments for equally random periods of time.

With all options exhausted Nate decided to accept his predicament and would live his life to the fullest be it as a Husky or a Tarute.

Well, guys, this is Nate's official cursed form. this came from being inspired by the game, Odin Sphere. If any of you have played it then you should remember the Pooka, which the Tarute design is influenced from. Of course, Prinny and I changed a few things to make the two species their own unique thing. If you look closely you can see that as a Tarute Nate's fur pattern is a little different to his Husky fur pattern. Maybe you can find them all?

Anyway, I hope you enjoy his new form as much as I do and expect more art of him like this in the future.
