[it's a.....kangaroo........ram thing????]

Are you sure it's really an ANIMAL?

I just noticed we have both "alienated" and "alienates" and I approve

[livingdeadgirl]

pretty sure?
shes acting like one anyway
although uh
there is a very real possibility shes not an earth animal

[thesettingsun]

Looks closest to a goat, if it's a normal animal and not something chocobo-esque.

[livingdeadgirl]

do you think so?
i didnt think goat horns curled all the way around like that

[redarm]

fucking hell
shes adorable.

[livingdeadgirl]

haha agreed!
she keeps nuzzling up like shes happy to see me

[windeity]

uh. like the curlicue horn things make it look like a ram, but that's not a ram body so...a hybrid of some kind? kind of like a liger.

[livingdeadgirl]

i get what you mean but i dont think thats how hybrids work
thatd be like if a liger was the head of a lion on the body of a tiger
(which i am reasonably sure its not)

[imaginex]

omg she's so cute?

But she looks like a kangaroo? Maybe? I'm not 100% sure.

[livingdeadgirl]

hehe thanks

yeah the general consensus appears to be "some kind of kangaroo sheep goat" and/or "probably not from earth"
and some kid at the bus stop just asked if she's my dog
so uh. one vote for dog i guess

[stopbleeding]

scratch its belly.

[livingdeadgirl]

ok ill try

[Please hold for a moment...]

update: belly scratch was a resounding success :D

[sunnymerc]

[ well her first memory of things getting weird around here is being chased by a monster so seeing weird creatures isn't surprising anymore. the only difference here is-- ]

omg so cute
its an albino goatheaded kangaroo

i want to pet it

[livingdeadgirl]

thats the most succinct species name we have going so far
im not sure she is albino though?
albinos have red eyes i think
hers are just... the same color as the rest of her
which is kind of weird now that i think of it

i dont blame you shes really soft

[destiny_key]

in my professional opinion
i think she looks like a ram!!!
an albino ram

but also im not a professional lol

[livingdeadgirl]

thats just your regular opinion then!!
haha

dont albinos have red eyes though

[long_live_the_queen]

I asked my roommate if it was a kangaroo

she did NOT punch me

[livingdeadgirl]

umm ok
were you expecting her to? o_o

[constellates]

ami !!
happy birthday !!
you have a new friend to celebrate with ?
exciting !
why not bring new friend to school ?

[livingdeadgirl]

happy birthday anya!! hehe
but uh
if i bring her to school ill get in trouble
that is the biggest reason

[totallynotanoni]

[ Welp, she was somewhat ready for this. Yin did apparently get her dog in the mail, after all; it should be no wonder just what else their willing to send. ]

For a few minutes there I thought the monsters had come back.
I've never seen anything like her before.

Did you get it in the mail?

[livingdeadgirl]

no I was just walking to the bus stop and suddenly there she was following me

[ladytakamaki]

She's adorable omg!!
Do you know what she likes to eat?

[livingdeadgirl]

thanks
i have absolutely no idea what she eats though

[a second later though]

update: she just took a big bite of the grass
so im guessing grass

[yamagishi]

It looks like a goat and a kangaroo?

Either way, she is really cute!

[livingdeadgirl]

thanks!
shes really sweet as well
i sat down and she came over and put her head in my lap
just like that

[parodeity]

lusus probably

[livingdeadgirl]

what

[truedetective]

The head is fairly goatlike, that much is certain.
The resemblance to any animal I've ever heard of ends there.

[livingdeadgirl]

the rest of her is more kangaroolike
although i dont see a pouch or anything
but i think she hops to get around
at least part of the time

[however, unlike a real kangaroo, she can also move her hind legs independently of each other, and thus walk without putting weight on her tail. (i have learned a lot about kangaroos in the last few days and may or may not be putting this here for my own reference as well)]

[anguinous]

I don't think that's any more a real animal than the faceless monkeys or the candy creatures or the shadow things were.

[livingdeadgirl]

[laurent you... you do realize what that extrapolates to, right?]

don't say things like that!!
she's not a monster like those
she's real!!!
and i am not going to let anyone hurt her!

[cornets]

She's cute!! Did you put the bow on her?

[livingdeadgirl]

no she already had it
i think she might be intended as a birthday present
or at least that makes as much sense as anything else!

[commandertoolbelt]

kangaroo goat?
kangoat?
goataroo?

[livingdeadgirl]

you know one of these days im going to wake up and my whole life will have devolved into a series of terrible portmanteaus

[lalliho]

albino karakul

[sage nod]

[livingdeadgirl]

whats a karakul

[heiroglyphs]

It looks like a goat mated with a kangaroo.
I don't know whether it's freaky or adorable.

[livingdeadgirl]

well that mental image is firmly in the first category
but i think she herself rests firmly in the second

[chaoticwhimsy]

No clue but it's cute

What're you gonna name her?

[livingdeadgirl]

i have no idea
"lucy" and "mom" are taken
also i would feel kind of weird calling her mom

[lastcomfort]

It's so cute!! It's like a kangaroo and a mountain goat had a baby!

[mercurio]

you know something? she's super cute though
you keeping her?
