Hello gays I'm back with an oc and a new hyperfixation! (Yes I still like DHMIS, it's a dead media for a reason)

[felt-texture]

June sketch from cohost ^_^

[fanged-cotl]

Anthropomorphic animal lore (subject to change)

I have been putting off this explanation because it's been daunting to try and fully illustrate it, so i am going to sketch and infodump this out. beware of mistakes or things that don't make sense yet x,O

anthro: humanoid body plan animal

feral: regular animal body

There are 3 main anthro species in my cotl au

Unguibus: "clawed people" canines, felines, rabbits, rodents, ect.

Ungulates: "hooved people" deer, cows, elephants, ect.

Avians: "bird people" self explanatory

All of these anthros are omnivorous, although some require more meat in their diet than others. Main sources of meat in these lands would be large, animalistic insects (like the enemies seen ingame), and feral (non-anthro) species: fish, amphibians, reptiles, and birds (will be explained later)

This cannon exists in a mountainous and forested biome with valleys, rivers, and a coastline. Animals that naturally live in these biomes will be seen as colonies, villages, towns, camps, settlements, ect. in this universe. So if you wanted to see elephant people, hippo people, maned wolves, tropical avains, ect. You would need to travel out of the lands. Instead you'll find coyotes, foxes, deer, sheep, raccoons, eagles, ect.

Lands in the old faith that have been affected by their ruling bishops, however, will have different biomes and new people.

Unguibus and Ungulates evolved from their original (feral) forms due to unknown divine intervention: (they used to look like regular animals)

Ungulate and Unguibus groups hunted and ate eachother throughout their evolutionary history. They have joined together, and fought each-other all across the world. The majority of species reserve their own cultural backgrounds and histories, and stigmas to match.

Many of these species have completely different gender identities/roles and cultural norms, which I will explore in sheepfolk and catfolk soon!

For a random stigma example, cats may be called "rat eaters" due to some groups of catfolk's persecution and consumption of ratfolk and other rodent unguibus in the past.

Ungulates of species that are known to scavenge on small animals and carcasses in real life, have eaten smaller "prey" anthros in my cannon. For example, irl deer sometimes eat small animals- so in my cannon, some groups of deerfolk have worked alongside predatory anthro species that used to hunt them, like canines, in order to hunt other anthros.

Other species like sheep lived more docile lives of farming, and some avian or catfolk groups may have only fished, ect. ect.

Most of this is speculative background ideas that won't be looked into that much, because now that magic and cults have taken over and anthros have become more accustomed to living in towns and developing technology, things have mixed together enough for species differentiation to matter less and less over time. Especially in Lambi's cult.

Domestic species like dogs, cats, sheep, ect. exist either because of population isolation or selective racial purity. (yikes i know)

Subspecies exist due to geological location and habitat (ex: indian wolf vs gray wolf, brown bear vs sun bear, ect,)

Species differentiation will eventually only matter for reproduction. Foxes, wolves, coyotes and dogs can interbreed because they are all canines but a zebra and a lion could not. The world will eventually melt together and the concept of visible subspecies and breeds will be history, but i'm getting ahead of myself-

Due to the rise of deities in the lands of the old faith, there are new anthro people emerging from the likeness of the bishops.

I will have to dive into these individual species and what they look like much much more in the future. This post was a bit of a huge fucking mess of me trying to get out my thoughts.

Considering that Unguibis and Ungulates have gone completely anthro, you might be wondering why birds and reptiles can be found feral and anthro in this universe? Bird anthros were created alongside the rise of gods in order to aid them. For example, Clauneck and Kudaai. Althrough this plan did not follow through fully, as there are plenty of individual avians that lived with their own ideas, acting as regular mortals do. Reptiles had a similar treatment, although it must've been even less effective, considering flinky has no humanoid body. Most of this is going to be left up to speculation.

Another thing I will get into besides sheep vs cat gender & culture is "turned" anthros. Which are the main enemies Lambi will fight. The turning of an anthro, and the nature of your physical form changing to suit your god will also explain Forneus's size and age, Clauneck and Kudaai's size & faces, why heretics on crusades.. look like the way they do...ect.

WHOO. ALL DONE RANTING! This is might have a few contradictions in it, but I needed to vomit all of this out in SOME way. It's so hard to communicate this without dedicating all my time to world building instead of character exploration & narilamb.

All of this blurb exists because of my love for spec bio, xenofiction, and some neurodivergent need for furry media to make biological and ecological sense with their species choices because 90% of the time it does not.

Last post of the year. Everyone look at my sheep

[amimuu]

Hey leader. What is your name, if you still remember it that is. I have never actually heard anyone refer to you as anything other than leader or lamb.

[IM NOT SURE IF TO ANSWER IN CHARACTER CUZ THE INBOX FOR LAMBY IS CLOSED BUT—OH yknow what it’s my blog I can do whatever I want]

“My name? Of course I remember. I hear it every day. In the morning, in the night, and sometimes during my crusades too.

It’s all over the Cult grounds, and maybe even stretches beyond; Like bells. Yes, just like the sounds of bells

It’s out there for everyone to hear, to know. But it doesn’t stay in their heads, it seems. A lot of people still think my name is ‘Jingle’, after all. It is not

Hopefully this is enough of an answer to you, dear follower. See, I’ve come to think this way of introducing myself is very entertaining.”

[maxtothemax]

the amount of accidental symbolism i give my characters is insane

anyway river is sooo sacrificial lamb coded. innocently and blindly devoted to authority figures. freezes at the slightest sign of danger. doesn't figure out what's coming until it's staring him in the face and it's too late to save himself.

[ghosts-and-blue-sweaters]

I'm not going to send a picture but a couple years ago for Halloween I dressed as Ghostbur I even have a stuffed sheep

OH MY GOSH REALLY! YOOOOOOOO!!!

[ichigosatsuki]

Decided to make some sheepies based off my playthroughs of Cult of the Lamb becausee...yes 👍🏻

Here are my bois and now I shall do close ups of my said bois 🙏🏻

Lamby here is based off my Steam (and now Switch) playthroughs of being a good little cult leader and taking care of my followers caise they all precious babus! ☺️

Here is the dirty no good bab, "Nari"

Who is based on my ruthless playthrough I'm doing on Steam (mostly to get the achievements tbh)

[adelaide-ill-omens]

I had a Lambchop stuffed animal when I was a baby and that post reminded me of it

[rainbowgothdisaster]

this is lamby, shes the keeper of glasses and fudge

im too big to really hold her while i sleep so she just watches me (or sometimes il lay her near me and she ends up under me or stuck between the cushions)

[singularvoice]

i am trying to tell the watcher about lamby’s visit, but he seems to pay me no mind. perhaps . . . perhaps they do not remember her . . .
