Bestiary February 2023

Bestiary February

  An index page for my efforts towards meeting the 2023 February World Anvil Challenge, "Bestiary February". The goal is to use the daily prompts throughout February as inspiration for new articles about creatures found in any of the realms within the Discontinuum and pull the links together here. Everything linked on this page will also exist in its proper place inside the Discontinuum and is simply listed together here for the purposes of the challenge. I will certainly not complete all of these prompts but let's see if I can do a few interesting ones!
