Speedemon - [Fearsome Critter]

The Speedemon - [Fearsome Critter 1925] – a tiny lightning fast creature with five strong legs, no mouth. It sustains itself entirely on the chase; often seen on cool summer evenings cartwheeling after skittish creatures such as rabbits & quail.

[I’m unsure if its merely coincidence or not… but It strongly resembles the demon & “great president of hell” Buer from 1863’s Pseudomonarchia Daemonum. ((I’ll draw Buer & others another time.)) my guess is thats where artchilds got their inspiration. But being pre-internet, its fairly amazing to me that an ordinary game warden would know about that, haha. it could be sheer design coincidence!]
