Anonymous User asked: What was the inspiration behind yinglets?
quick go read zhe entirety of zhis https://www.valsalia.com/comic/prologue/01/
ive heard we're a mix of a specific type of wading bird zhat ive forgotten, and zhe classic rpg trope of a low-level enemy race, but i feel like zhats like. tertiary source info at best lmao
I didn't invent yinglets eizher but ValSalia (as in, zhe auzhor, not za city) said yinglets are rat-birds, inspired by having pet rats and rehabilitating baby killdeer chicks. Also, very heavily, Nevreans (like from Vilous, za same worldbuilding project zat Sergals are from).
Killdeer chicks look like zhis:
Nevreans look like zhis:
Also, naturally, Kobold tropes. Like, not in appearance, but more in vibes.
"But Millie, you just linked two birds. Yinglets look very mammalian. What gives?"
