- You know that the word "Delomar" would mean something like "one who cares about work" (basically "workaholic") in archaic Slovene? - Koboldemon is a typical "sword and sorcery" fantasy comic? So, is Delomar the creature shown in the open page? - How exactly would fantasy creatures look (or more accurately, be imagined) in dogs' world? Elves, for example have been depicted in stories with anthropomorphic animals as either a different animal group (but I really can't remember which webcomic that was), or visually identical to "regular" folk (in "Winterbaugh Saga" web "novels" or "The Ballad of Adler Young" forum adventure, for example). - I've been wondering about this for a long time (And I might have already asked this, but forgot about it): How do dogs keep their socks from being torn up by their toeclaws?
1) That's very interesting. It's actually a complete coincidence! Delomar was just supposed to be a variation on the name 'Delmar', but with a definition like that, it becomes even more appropriate!
2) Yes, and yes :)
3) There's really a huge variety in fantasy and mythological creatures in this world, even anthropomorphs of non-canid species like felines and reptiles. The only difference is that their 'elves' and 'dwarves' and etc. are more canid than humanoid since there are no humans for them to be based on. As for kobolds, I've read that there are two major variants of kobold throughout fantasy fiction, one that's more reptilian and one that's more canid. Within the lure of this world though, at least in the case of Delomar, they're about halfway in between.
4) High-quality socks have their fronts fortified with a very durable polymer fabric that resists damage from claws. Some REALLY high-end brands even have a pad of material similar to a pincushion that polishes and conditions the claws as they poke into it. The cheaper, bargain-bin socks don't have any extra padding and sometimes buyers will file down their toeclaws until blunt to make the socks last longer (though some do this even if they do wear the fortified brands, just as a force of habit).
