Huronymus

When he's not making a conscious effort, he looks as he does on the right, but when the time comes to fight (or he needs to look presentable while he sleeps), he can flex into a much more imposing and powerful form. Just as tensing a muscle expends energy, however, Huronymus will be exhausted after a short time using his full strength and likely petrify for a while as he recovers.
Despite his existence as a supernatural entity, Huronymus doesn't consider himself particularly faithful to any religious doctrine, instead preferring to see himself as a single member of an ecosystem much wider than most are aware. Despite this lack of faith, he occasionally makes friends with the clergy and staff of whatever place of worship he finds himself crashing at.
Lately, he's been living in a desert land called Bazlik, far away from his temperate home. Fortunately, sleeping in the day means he can avoid the worst of the heat.
It was fun designing him in two parts! The more muscular version is more accurate to my facial features, but the cartoony version is more accurate to my body type and general attitude. As for the rock, I based it on a granite found near the area I was born. The name "Huronymus" is derived from "Hieronymus," as in Hieronymus Bosch, the surrealist painter; and "Huron," a French nickname for people with shaggy hair. You can call him "Ron" for short!
