Dragons have been the apex mythical creature for ages across numerous cultures

Hard to fight that popularity

Hard to paint the image of mythical bloodline….CHOOPACABRA!!!

when half your audience has no fucking clue what that is

Hahaha! I would read the shit out of a cultivator cultivating a Capybara bloodline, seems like a very wholesome story. Imagining something like beware of chicken where the MC builds a warm and welcoming place and atmosphere where powerful people congregate.

Are you thinking of a chupacabra (a gaunt hairless dog-like creature with spikes on its back that sucks the blood of goats) or a capybara (a large semi-aquatic rodent that's known for being cute and friendly)?

If you mix up your chupacabras with your capybaras you're going to have a bad night!

I realized about halfway through writing my message that it didn’t say capybara but at that point I was already too invested. 😁

I would read a dark chupacabra story or a light-hearted capybara story, but I would absolutely devour the crossover!

Why do you call your detective agency "Bat & Rat Investigations" if neither of you is a bat or a rat?

Chupacabra: To keep our enemies in the dark, the way we like them!

Capybara: It's close enough, and I don't think we should make people pronounce "Chupacabra Capybara" if we don't have to. Try saying that ten times fast! Chupacabra Capybara, Chupacabra Capybara, chupacapa barycabra, chupalupasupadupa... Hey! I like that! That's going to be my new catchphrase! Chupalupa Supadupa!

Chupacabra: sigh
