Yeah, although he quietly serves for Reverend Snowberry Cookie, he still stays in his Hycrolace armor WOO, stupid cookie🙄

Honestly thinking if he should be some sort of spirit or whatever manifested from bits of souls from Corona Sugar Cookie's failed cookies.... Or just a weird dude that nye nye nye 💔

OH YEAH, BLACK BASQUE COOKIE IS ACTUALLY FINISHED, BUT I WANT TO GIVE HER A CUTSCENE ART TOO OK, I'm just soft locking her in my gallery rn (Yeh the second sketch is the current draft for the cutscene, its supposed to showcase the nature of the other angels in Powder Flake after the penalty's impact whoah there buddy)

oh yes, Armored Pleco Cookie's little angel who DEFINITELY did not eat anyone in the famine while he was still fully working under Bitter Tear Drop Cookie... Black Basque Cookie is too nice to do that bro🤑🤑

The way the cutscenes are all just towards the final bits of the storyline of the Elemental Continent bro, I need to write something else🥀

WHY DID I MISSPELT "CONTEST" TO "CONREST"???? HELLO???

OK, BUT I HAAAAD to make some fake trailer/cutscene art bro (I WILL add this to the fake trailers sonne😭)..

> Smokey Stallion Cookie - (KOR: 연기의 종마 쿠키), he/him

--------------------

>"You, escape the odds? Hardly!"

- "The era of the Hopeful Tree was fresh and slow, the pace that many wish to experience. This cookie wasn't a stranger to this idea, tired of the flames and rowdy atmosphere of his home. After travelling for hours, the weary cookie was welcomed in open arms by the Tree theirself, being gifted the peace he longed for, letting the rain extinguish his anger away to an ashy mist. Devotion follows through, but even when all goes well, there is something to stir up trouble. When life started to wither in the forest before his eyes, Smokey Stallion Cookie learned to never lose again."

> Smokey Stallion Cookie has similar story events with Armored Pleco Cookie, where they both end up switching on what Elemental Continent Beast they serve under, except Smokey Stallion here actually originates from the region of the second beast he follows.

INSPIRATION:

- His character and design is heavily inspired from the Philippines' mythical creature: the Tikbalang! A trickster and guardian of the forest. They're a sort of reverse version of the centaur, being on two feet instead of four. Even if this creature is seen in a negative or very mischievous light, they are also guardians of forests. It is said they reside in large trees, specifically Balete Trees (OHHHH), which made him the perfect follower/underling for Balete Tree Cookie! I know I didn't make his head a horse, but he'll have a horse form anyways!! Tikbalangs are shapeshifters after all heheh.

> There are a few types of tikbalangs, but I chose to base him off the fire tikbalang, the Binangonan/Binangunan (I'm not sure with the spelling, gng...) the fire idea is that he only gets that fire in his hair when he's really angry or emotional.

Why is he horse

Kabayo is uh = Horse yeah 🤑🤑
