Artwork
Earthkin is the infant form of Earthine. Earthkin are not often sighted as they frequently shelter under their giant Earthine parents. Born during Earthine’s underground hibernation period, the creature matures in the earth, and grazes on the foliage that drapes down from its parent’s thick, grassy coat. When it finally emerges, Earthkin’s parents are fiercely protective. Wise farmers dare not approach the creature until maturation.
