Yes I know she looks soft and no you shouldn't touch her! Do you want to get incinerated that badly? Anyways... Meet Mantle! Shes err, Dangerous to say at least.

This is Mantle! A hellhound with an affinity towards Magma and all things fiery.
Although they're mostly depicted towards being more feminine, i do intend to have Mantle fit both roles with a masculine look as well.
Hot headed, Stubborn, quick to anger and perhaps a little too eager to dominate and recruit everyone in their 'Warband'- They'll come around once you get to know them! So long as they believe they're winning in the exchange. They hardly take defeat lightly and see themselves on-top of the hierarchy. They ARE a demon afterall. This doesn't mean they aren't susceptible to nonsense and trickery however... Something their ghostly twin has no trouble dishing out towards Mantle despite their fiery temper.

Her design/species comes from the Mawlamute VR model made by Itsguusy!- https://itsguusy.gumroad.com/l/the-.....rchat-itsguusy


I paired with a friend  NomsterPaws who helped create the idea and also worked to design and texture them! Still incredibly happy how they turned out, i don't intend them to overtake Taraken but they help with art ideas and themes that i wouldn't get normally with Taraken.

My friend also has their own design similar to Mantle with a different take and aesthetic! I plan to show them off together in the future when i can :)
