Here’s a contribution to today’s Khazad October challenge: Dáin Ironfoot in my daemon AU. Dáin’s daemon is a Bernese mountain dog. They’re good-natured, confident dogs, with a patient and affectionate nature. They’re very hardy and tough (one once fell from a cliff and then survived three days on an ice shelf before being rescued, and another survived alone in one of the most dangerous passes of Mount Seymour. They’re hardcore). They have also been used as herders or guard dogs.

oh how perfect! ❤

Finally got around to finishing the daemon AU version of the sons of Gróin.

Previously: sons of Fundin, Brothers Ri, Ur Family

Óin has an Asclepius snake. This type of snake is associated with healing arts and medicine (it’s used on a lot of logos for health services), which fits pretty well with Óin the healer. Snakes also seem to crop up a lot in omens and fortune telling, which fits Óin’s role as something of a mystic. (Pretend I can draw tables that obey the laws of physics?)

Glóin has a red tibetan mastiff. These dogs are massive and have epic red hair, and look absolutely terrifying in attack mode. They’re also guardian dogs who are protective of their flocks and families. They are intelligent and stubborn and need a lot of training.

Bonus baby!Gimli and his unsettled daemon. I’ve not decided what adult Gimli’s daemon would settle as, but I wanted to draw Glóin being a good dad because awwww ❤

Next (and last): Durin’s Line.
