You have to be more careful than usual in some of the swamps of my old D&D world. Besides the expected threats, some of them are inhabited by tribes of large, intelligent otters. If one of them gets its paws on you it'll be a stroke of good luck to end up like this poor hestan cat-man, overpowered and swallowed alive. In perhaps a day the cat's armor and some of the larger bones will be coughed up in a owl-like pellet. The water weasel's rapid metabolism will account for the rest. Otters eat a lot and a cat-person a third his size is about what this big guy needs to eat a day.

Less fortunate people captured by the otters end up back at the tribal village, where they serve as slaves and lovers to their otter masters. Sometimes an otter even manages to impregnate a female slave, or a male slave managed the obverse, and thus we get the occasional otter-man like Breeze.

Hestans were one of my early "pet races" as a DM. Before that it was dragons, believe it or not. It's bad for a DM to have pet races, because it impels them to use them too much and give them unfair advantages. At least I had the good sense to not let people play any of them. 83

I love your giant otters. They look so cute and adorable, even if they're big enough to swallow an adult person whole and alive. How are their metabolism?

That's a quite big sheath on that otter, makes me wonder how it's cock is when it's fully erect. Deadly for most smaller creatures, specially if it goes all the way in. :p
Have it happened that it have punctured the intestines of a victim that resulted in internal bleeding? If the victim is eaten afterwards then there's no need to panic, since it's doomed anyway. But for the victim it will be a much worse experience, because of the intense pain and such. (Makes me wonder how Mr. Hands felt it during his final hours.)

Is there a chance that if you walk in the swamps you may suddenly hear a strange hoarking sound? You don't know what it is, but it sounds strange and disturbing. And as you turns a corner there's a big lump of syntetic clothes and body armor laying in a slimy ball on the ground (and some fur if it "used" to be an anthro).
The sound of a big otter regurgitating undigested stuff must be quite creepy to hear, specially if you know what the sound means. And discovering regurgitating remains must be a bit sickening too considering the smell. Gastric juices aren't exactly perfume. :D

Otters are indeed quite well hung for their size, and a lot of swamp otters end up raping their intended lovers to death. I drew something like that a while back, though it was a different type of otter:

There's also a bloody version of this pic in the same gallery.

I never had vores (or furries, unfortunately) in my D&D group, or I likely would have let them find such a hairball. 83

as you already know, I would have greatly enjoyed being in your D&D group, and there are times I wish you were still up for running now. Even if it did mean that I experienced frequent character deaths. 83

I remember my "pet race" issues as a DM >.< And yes, not letting players play them is a very good idea >_>

*chuckles* I never did get past my love of dragons. Ex got to be damned good at sniffing them out (I loved them polymorphed in as NPC's). Memories, hehehe.

Don't see otters as preds much, let alone feral otters which is odd considering they make good preds... Especially big swamp lurking otters. ;P

Mhm, giant bulgy otter. <3~
