"Well, yes, I could bring the phone to him, but I don't think you'll get much of a conversation out of him."

Ratbat's intense vore fetish and ability to regenerate back after being digested makes him a good match for Savage: The rat gets to indulge his urge to be eaten, and the big tiger gets a guilt-free meal.

It does create the occasional awkward moment, though. Besides someone (typically Technocoon) walking in on a meal, there's the occasional "Where's Ratbat?" question that is followed by furtive glances and a lengthy silence. 83

This makes me wonder: When Savage has to relieve himself, and he knows it's Ratbat he's relieving himself of, how does he handle that situation? X3

Normally Savage takes a dump into the nearest convenient manhole after popping the lid off with his claws. When in this situation he uses the little courtyard behind the garage he lives in, then shovels all the crap that doesn't turn back into rat into the storm drain there. You can see the courtyard here:

There is a scene in The Cat, The Rat and The Archer that covers this exact process from Ratbat's point of view.

Even worse when the mayor lights the Feral-Signal I'll bet.

Savage is one of my favorite characters of yours. He may be a giant ton-and-a-half predator, but he is a nice guy and indulges his friends from time to time.

Strega

He and Hialfi are my nicest predators, and Savage, lacking the desperate need to feed himself, is the nicer of the two. He doesn't go hunting for sapients, evil or otherwise to eat.

ArchTeryx

Posted by ArchTeryx 12 years ago Report

Heh. Either he or Hialfi probably'd be the most amenable to my internal massage, but Savage, at least, already gets something akin to that from 'bat. It's nice to have self-renewing prey. ^.^

It gets hard to justify a nice guy eating people, though. Well, excepting Ratbat of course. 83

ArchTeryx

Posted by ArchTeryx 12 years ago Report

Truthfully, that's one of the original reasons, way back in the distant past, that I developed internal massage. It allowed otherwise nice predators to get a fix (and an amped-up fix at that, since I don't expire) without hurting anyone. For nice-guy type predators, it was the ideal solution.

The occasional awkward moment, lol. Love how small the cellphone is to the big tiger. Nice proportionate working showing only a single claw tip working the phone.

Well, he's a big kitty. Savage's paws are roughly sixteen inches long and wide. 83

Imrhys

Posted by Imrhys 12 years ago Report

Sixteen? OUCH, that is one huge set of paws. Which makes his agility with those claws even more impressive. Reminds me of how dragons in old school D&D with high enough dex could manipulate scrolls and others fine motor skill usage items, like writing.

Posted by Strega 12 years ago Report

Remember the giant computer keyboard that's show up in a pic or two? Savage is a big kitty, more or less twice as long, wide and high as a Bengal tiger and eight times as massive.

Huh, and all this time I just thought he was part of team rocket.

pls make more from savage when this goes an liitle bit more blood :D

Strega

Posted by Strega 12 years ago Report

Savage swallows people whole so the meal is quick and leaves no evidence. Other things, like dogs and meat and bones he gets from the meat packing plant he does crunch up. We're more likely to see Savage bloodied (as he has been in one pic) than see him bloodily devour someone.

I think you have created the only willing prey so far that I really love to see in such interactions. Kudos.
