#i just wanted to draw a generic monster girl lol

I got the idea for a tsuchinoko lamia, but I think I ended up creating a whole character!

I call this particular tsuchinoko “Kokoro Tsuchiya”. Most tsuchinoko are liars for various reasons, but the most common reason is distrust towards non-tsuchinoko (this is also why they’re so elusive). Kokoro distrusts other beings too, but she also just really enjoys being sneaky and causing trouble. Ironically for someone whose name means “heart”, she doesn’t really like to reveal her inner feelings, not even to other tsuchinoko. She also tries to be cool, but if you catch her off guard, she can be easily frightened. Deep down, she’s a much better person than she likes to let on.

Like most tsuchinoko, she loves alcohol, and her favorite is a sake brand called “Snake Slayer”. It doesn’t actually slay snakes, it just knocks them out.
