Bantra by @kimbsams (Kimberly Samson)

Ages ago, when I created the first Maq character ever, the little girl landed on a planet with these really strange creatures on them that I had taken from an old video game. They had tusks coming out of their noses, and were very furry. Over the years, though, they evolved, their tusks moving back onto their cheeks, and their body's became much thicker. They were given cloved hooves, and were placed into my Dragon Stones© series. I gave them the name Bantra, after another old character of mine

Bantra's live in the cold north, where very little else can survive. The Felinians use them like a combination of herd dogs and horses. Artwork © Copyright 2002 Kimberly Samson
