Description

This guy will be making an appearance in the next issue of YU+ME. I finalized his look today (though the colors might actually change for the final).
The Baku is a mythical creature, originally from China, adopted by Japan. It is a dream eater.
Details of how it looks vary, but it's always a crazy mishmash of various animals. Usually, it has a tapir-like trunk. This particular rendition has a bear-ish body, lion mane, pig feet, goat horns, and the trunk.
I would not want to run into him.
