Description
In truth, I actually don't have anything new this week, but I didn't want to not
post anything myth-related while I'm still posting fakemon stuff. I'm in kind of
a myth art-block right now... Anyway.
I was keeping this for a future "Brazilian Folklore Galore part 3", but to not let
the week pass by here it is... Consider it a preview of sorts!

If you haven't seen the Brazilian Folklore Galore part 1 & 2 you can check them right here:
[part1] [part2]

---Kiumba, Spirit of vice------------------------------------------------------------------------
Present in Afro-Brazilians religions, Kiumbas are lower spirits of darkness, who
live in a spiritual plane called "The Umbral" ("The Threshold") and delight in depravity
and vice. Once they find a victim, they "cling" to them and begin to manipulate
their lives, making them become addicted to drinking, smoking, and gamble,
start to commit adultery, become violent and in extreme cases drives them to commit
suicide. These marginal spirits may appear to untrained or corrupt mediums
posing as good spirits or gods, and offering their services for free instead of the
usually required offerings. They excel in cursing the lives of others, and can also
corrupt good wishes asked of them into dark acts.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I tried to emulate a Megaten style for this one, I wanted it much simpler than the
usual design but still distinctive enough. I'm particularly very fond of this one, so
I hope you guys liked it as well.

Kiumba is described here as a "marginal spirit", marginal itself meaning "one who lives
in the margin", of course, but here in Brazil the word is MUCH more commonly used
to refer to criminals and outlaws, specially your everyday petty thief. So I made its skin
to resemble a prisoner outfit, and gave it shackles. You can argue that Kiumba itself is
a prisoner of its own existence and nature. It's also very bestial, it has a wild mouth,
but no face, and also horns, goat feet and a devil tail, making it look more like a
traditional demon.

If most of the figures I drew fitted the role of bosses in a game, Kiumba would be
a very early enemy, and one of the first real threats the player would find in its way,
possessing strong physical attacks and debilitating skills.

Hope you liked it! See you guys next time!
