One of a couple of Hork-Bajir I've got cookin in the PNW-Colony Canon!
I finally settled into a facial shape/style for HB that I enjoy- they're often described as 'snake-like', though their official art doesn't look that snake-y to me. I went with a viper head shape with a short beak and dermal teeth! I've got a much more complicated linework I used to hash it out but it would be hell to color... so I have not done that.

Kresh and a handful of other Hork-Bajir are the only ones hardy enough to handle the harsher winters of the PNW. The Colony itself rests in a large half-park/half-complex nestled in the mountains. Locomotion from place to place is easy enough for Andalites thanks to human terraforming, and in exchange for access to fancy new xeno-crossbred plants, Kresh and company keep it that way.
He's younger for a Hork-Bajir, especially to have been a former Controller born into slavery. He saw only two, perhaps three battles, but tries not to remember much (Easy enough for some Hork-Bajir)- though the bullet has since been removed, he was shot with a 9mm pistol close to the spine, causing much nerve pain despite his species' hardy nature.
When the head researcher of the more reclusive PNW Colony, Carolii, reached out with an offer of 'experimental new body customization technology in exchange for immediate nerve reconstruction', Kresh was incredibly interested (after having the concept simplified to him by Randiri and Jamilin). He's the first fully-successful non-Andalite hide modification. He chose a California Red-sided Garter snake as his favorite pick for potential coloration, and though not the same make-up as the scales of Earth snakes, the conversion has gone quite well!

Thank you!! I've always loved Hork-Bajir but have never been super fond of the color green? So I was like.... 'how do I fix this' LMAO
I've also got another design with a headshape more similar to a flamingo that more resembles the book illustrations- much less easily readable as a HB but def more alien!

Much thanks! It boggles me that such a pretty snake is something as simple as a garter snake, they've always been some of my favorites! I might make a few other funky HB designs, but I'm not sure how well they'd sell, given the crossover of Animorphs fans and furries doesn't seem to be that wide LMAO
