The Dunk Shrunk Event, 2023
In the wake of the recently released publication by Engelman, the famous Dunkleosteus got its size cut from the previously humongous 7 metres long beast of an Arthrodire have now downsized into 3 - 5 metres long Hydrogen bomb shaped fat fish. Here are my rendition of the new dunk, honestly, I am fond of the new form of this animal.

On other platforms, such as twitter and instagram, I have been called a prophet, for the gift of premonition have been bestowed upon me in the year of 2021 because I created this round fellow, aptly named "Dunkball", it was a local sensation when it first conceived.
Figure 3. The Dunkball, look at this boi, bask in his glorious spherical presence, for he is a perfect specimen.
Also just for fun, I created these joke dunk forms for you fellow enthusiasts to enjoy:

Thrumbo
“A rather more alien take on the thrumbo” © Reddit user IpsumDolorAmet, accessed here
[Commissioned by @arachcobra. Rimworld is yet another video game that I haven’t played with an impressive bestiary, and the thrumbo is one of the game’s iconic creatures. Since the game is popular, there’s plenty of fanart, but since the game has a very simple, cartoony visual style, there’s a lot of variation. To give you an idea, here’s what the in-game thrumbo looks like:
So there are willowy thrumbos and stocky thrumbos, thrumbos with single hooves, cloven hooves, claws or elephant-like feet, thrumbos with beaks or horse heads or rhino-like lips. I chose the picture I did because I like the sense of mass it conveys, and the logical design of “a sauropod, but mammalian”, which is what the original pog seems to be going for. This also goes along with my recent typhlotherium in experimenting with high CR creatures of the animal type. In game, a thrumbo can tank five shots from a rocket launcher before succumbing, so I wanted to make sure they were nice and beefy.
Also, thrumbos appear to be popular among furries with a size kink, but that’s neither here nor there. But if I had to learn that while searching for images, so do you.]
Thrumbo CR 14 N Animal This majestic beast has shaggy, silvery-white fur. Its feet are paw-like and clawed, and its face has a short muzzle but powerful jaws. A single large horn grows from its brow with a crescent blade.
A thrumbo is a mega-herbivore and ecosystem engineer native to alien worlds. It has a mostly mammalian physiology, able to maintain a constant body temperature and feed its young with milk. Thrumbos eat plants, particularly the bark and shoots of trees, and cut down trees with their horns in order to feed on morsels out of their considerable reach. This horn and strength also serves them well as a defense—no mundane predator would dare hunt an adult thrumbo, and many magical predators would do well to think twice. In herds, they are even more defended.
Thrumbos can be found in many different biomes, although their thick fur means that they prefer cooler climes. This fur is thick enough to stop blades as well as claws and fangs, and is valued for use in making lightweight but durable armor. Treat thrumbo fur armor as if it were a mithral chain shirt for all purposes, including pricing, except that Craft (weaving) is necessary to make it and it does not count as metal for the purposes of spells and effects. A single thrumbo carcass can yield enough fur for four Medium or smaller suits of armor, or 1 Large suit. Harvesting fur from a live thrumbo is very tricky, as they are ill-tempered and barely able to be domesticated.
A thrumbo can live to be over two hundred years old if it does not succumb to disease, predators or starvation. Folklore in lands where thrumbos live credits them with incredible wisdom, and even that they can speak but choose not to.
