The Mapinguari is a legendary beast of South America with backwards facing feet; disgustingly stinky, matted fur; a single eye in it's featureless head; and a large gaping mouth in its belly. The Mapinguari can move silently through the forest in order to ambush its prey, but it's thick, powerful arms and legs are capable of tearing whole trees from the ground. Cryptozoologists believe the creature may actually be a vestige population of giant sloth, but that doesn't explain the Mapinguari's strange appearance.
This is my favorite illustration you've done so far. I was thinking the Mapinguary would be too far out of a monster for you to illustrate, but I was wrong!
