Huevember 12: my favorite jaguar girl!! I missed drawing her

ID: a digital drawing of Kipo from Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts, in her mega jaguar form. She's looking at the expectator, you can only see her head, her forebody and her three tails, the rest of the body fades in black. End ID.

It still boggles my mind how one of the creepiest scenes I have read in a manga comes from dungeon meshi.

It's a scene that after I read it stayed impressed in my mind more than any other in the manga, I'm talking about the scene where the goat eats Mithrun desires

I think there are multiple reason why I find it so creepy.

The first is of course the goat itself.

While in the previous panels of the chapter we saw it grow until this point it always looked like a normal goat, so seeing it emerge as this giant monstrosity with humanoid hands without even knowing what it's going to do is dreadful.

The second is the setting.

Seeing it emerge from the darkness into the bedroom is evocative of a common childhood fear, and feels like a violation of what should be the safest of spaces.

The uncaring look on mithrun's lover face also adds to the creepy vibe, of the feeling of comfort and normal life being cut open to reveal it as being simply the spider web of a predator.

Finally is the act itself

The way a still living person is treated as a meal by the demon is creepy in itself, but it's made so much worse by the way the demon eats: entering inside mithrun as if eating from a soup, while grabbing his legs to prevent a struggle.

His way of eating is a mix of animalistic and perversely human, which only adds to the feeling that this thing is not a monster but something else, something unnatural.

Interestingly ryoko kui achieves to be this unsettling with barely any gore, the little there is (mithrun's eye being caved) being treated almost like an afterthought both by the framing of the scene and by the goat itself
