Description

More inhabitants of my mind’s dreamscape... 
(The line on the left is to indicate my height - 1.90m)

-The Usurper’s animalistic form with crystals growing out of its head and back.
-This strange species of long-legged cursorial frog used their long, tubular tongues to act as a neck and mouth. They behaved similar to gazelles and other ungulates of the waking world, roaming vast steppes in herds, feeding on grass and leaves.
-Not actually an animal but a small forrest dweller, corrupted by the Usurper and used as a steed. 
-A very aggressive, partially bipedal donkey-like animal, that tends to attack without warning should anything get too close to it. It used its forelimbs to beat its unfortunate victims to a bloody pulp or to hold on to them while literally disfeaturing them with its teeth.
-Another one that is not actually an animal but one of the many forms of a high-ranking demon, a prince of hell (whose human form looked like Sean Bean). He was one of the last demons still left in hell and had an accordingly ill temper, chasing me through the streets of hell.
-A young giraffe-like creature with large ossicones. Two of these animals had settled down in my laundry room but probably met an untimely end at the jaws of the next creature... 
-Two of these hyenas with lupine features stalked the hallways and stairwells of my apartment block, voraciously searching for prey... which almost turned out to be me, as they tried to bite their way through my apartment door.
-A colonial diictodon-like creature with long, ceratogaulus-like claws. I only had a glimpse at one of these creatures, so I cannot say more about them.
-A large daeodon-like animal that was able to shapeshift to some extent, frequently exhibition more tiger-like features. Despite being my pet and being good-natured and harmless towards me at first, it reacted very aggressively to other humans, seemingly losing control and attacking them in a more tiger-like form. In the end, it injured my arm and I had to call an animal catcher to come and get it. (It’s skin felt like that of a pot-bellied pig btw)
-Kemu - a large comical flightless bird that had a different shape each time I looked at it. Both variations depicted here are the exact same individual. It had the same coloration as an ostrich.
-The Usurper’s true form before he succumbed to temptation and started eating meat (including that of his fellow forest dwellers). He gorged himself on the flesh of countless beings, oppressing the other forest dwellers and deforming them to do his biddings. He was eventually pushed down a ravine and thought to be dead, but as an expedition was sent down there to retrieve his corpse, they found he had become a lumbering beast (first on this page) that had bitten on to the ground below.
-A strange creature of which I only ever glimpsed the head. Sitting atop a bulbous neck with striped fur, it had a large, spiraling hole where its ears should have been. Despite the grotesque appearance, it was no injury. It had a very regal and almost god-like feel to it, like it was not just an animal but rather a powerful deity.
-A medium-sized, completely yellow creature called Flechet. Such animals congregated in large numbers in the trees and on the flat roofs of a Mediterranean town. When spooked, they would jump up and use four pseudo-wings on their tails to fly away.
-These flying creatures resembling dimorphodon nested on the banks of the River Styx, darting over the muddy black waters trying to snatch a morsel of human soul.

I once dreamed of cyborg-parrots that used mind-control to force-feed humans.

The subconscious mind truly is just as bizzare as it is fascinating.
