Hi, Meep :) I was looking (once again hehe) at your cryptid boys design and I noticed that they have one pretty sharp claw on their feet. Is that a spur or is it another special pinky kind of deal? I love picking your brain about anatomy for your monsters, hope that's alright ❤️ Anyways, hope your day is going good, babe!

Hi Naff! ❤️

You know I can't say no to anatomy questions! And I definitely cannot answer them simply ether XD

Let's talk demon paws!✨

My cryptid boys' feet are very theropod dinosaur like, but with all 5 toes intact instead of the typical 3 full toes + 2 vestigial/reduced toes.

The big sickle-shaped claws are not spurs, they're huge claws attached to the innermost digit of their feet. They act pretty much the same as a Dromaeosaur's sickle claws, but they're placed a little differently.

These claws are mostly used for pinning down things on the ground. They're also great slicing and stabbing weapons if the arms are occupied, injured or pinned.

These claws are always suspended above the ground, even in their most relaxed state. This keeps them from getting dull and dirty.

Range of flexibility:

And some extra doodles cause I like drawing these paws X3

Thank you for picking at my brain! XD I love having to put everything anatomy related that's in my head into text and drawing form, it's a very fun exercise!

Aww! My day is going well, I hope yours is too❤️❤️❤️
