Maybe you're happy for him?
I did another Obligado (and Nalmar) centered one...with another creature. At some point, I'm going to have to put them in a situation a little more wild than this. One could say getting stranded in an average swamp alongside a practical urban hippie with nothing but some tarps and a blanket is one of Obligado's more minor escapades.
Unlike the Gollum Lizard, that thing probably won't be much danger to them if they stay on land.
I'm not too happy with the shading in a lot of respects, but that's a common issue.
