Surprise Ponies: Feverous Fear

Zixal This one's one of my favorites to draw for multiple reasons. One, she's a filly, and she's cute. Two, she's an eldritch abomination that I get total creative liberty with. Feverous is a weird little critter, but everyone seems to love her.

Another one of my own characters, Feverous is a young monster in disguise, though it's rather easy to see through said disguise given her unnaturally large, round, and bulbous eyes. By species name, she is a Devoratrix Horribili, otherwise nicknamed a "Dread Devourer", or "Scareling". Essentially, a creature that feeds off the fear of others, whether she is the one who instigates that fear or not.

Capable of moving faster than the eye can see, as well as morphing her body around in horrifying manners, Feverous does whatever she can to terrify others for food, often times pretending to be normal and giving others a sense of unease before jumpscaring them. She loves scaring the hell out of everyone, but she lacks the ability to detect what the exact fear of someone is, meaning she has to guess and try the same tricks, hoping they'll work. Most of the time, it does, but it still gets her down when it doesn't.

She spends most of her time with a pair of other characters, each belonging to another one of my friends, where she tries to freak them out without being too much of a nuisance. They seem to enjoy her presence and find her cute when she isn't trying to terrify them, and this proves to be the only time Feverous is okay with being called cute. She otherwise dislikes not being scary to someone.
