Description Hmmmm Georgie… How do... how do I explain myself on this one?

So this is Georgie. He's a "horse".

This character started off as the horrible consequences of mixing my inability to speak properly with an improvised off the cuff encounter in a D&D game. The party was looking to get themselves some steeds, and our big burly orc barbarian rolled to find the perfect one for him. I envisioned the being we now call Georgie, who in addition to being absolutely massive and jacked, has plenty of roided out, never ceasing anger which can only be expressed by a very stern "MOO", because in the moment I forgot what sound a goddamn horse makes somehow. I refused to correct myself. If you've ever seen that one clip from Family Guy where Stewie breeds the perfect pig, you have a good idea of the entirety of Georgie's existence. Ever since, Georgie has become a staple running joke character in all the games I've played. And me being me, that joke character now has actual lore.

Coming a long way from just being a funny horse with fists, Georgie is now a being from another universe where physics are nonexistent and it's just Georgie's species floating around bumping into each other like the cell stage in Spore and getting angrier and angrier to fuel their power and T-pose for dominance. One "day", whatever that means, an intruder entered their space by the name of Vlad Van Winkle, an interdimensional explorer of the Multiverse running for his life as he hops randomly from universe to universe. He "befriended" Georgie, whatever that means, completely by accident and really wished this damn thing would stop following him and shouting in his ear. Over time though, the two somehow formed an approximation of a friendship, and Georgie has since followed Vlad across the Multiverse, causing untold havoc and pain to any poor son of a bitch who looks at him wrong.

Design notes… uhh…

Technically Georgie is a chalicothere, an extinct relative of horses which resembled something between a horse and a giant ground sloth. It's the closest animal to a horse with fists I can think of. Again, I refer you to that Family Guy clip. His muscles are constantly bulging at the seams, and he's in a state of constant aneurysm/constipation. I think that face says it all. That's just his face. Always. Really I just wanted to build a creature specifically designed to elicit the phrase "Jaysus Christ!" immediately on sight. And I have gotten that reaction multiple times, so I count that as a success.
