Description

Ha, I think it's the fastest remake in my gallery.  Anyway, I wasn't satisfied sso I remade it so quickly.

A creature that is usually portrayed as a polar bear with unicorns horn. I dont like that. It's unoriginal and boring  =P Besides it makes no sense. If it had just one horn it would have to stand away from the viewers  according to the provided quote!

As for the limbs I made them quite specialised, instead of just six paws. The creature normally walks on four legs, using smaller middle pair for grasping it's prey and for climbing slippery icy mountains. It raises on two legs only endangered, to fight and intimdate it's foe, much like a bear does. It's tail serves to hel it maintain balance then.

Anyways it's some badass hairy thing from the north :P

"A small bulge in the canvas far to the right suggested the sharp horn of Gnoph-keh, the hairy myth-thing of the Greenland ice, that walked sometimes on two legs, sometimes on four, and sometimes on six."

H.P. Lovecraft & Hazel Heald, The Horror In the Museum
