Camera (FINAL NAME TBA) #7461

Bio

A strange esk hailing from a plain between an alkaline volcano and a salty lake. It has some awareness of its previous purpose and feels compelled to continue fulfilling it. Taking pictures, that is. Although it is not a working camera with data storage anymore, it has excellent memory and travels far to get a good shot. It does not speak.

Appearance

It is a very lanky esk with a black body and three skinny legs, the hind of which is shifted to its midline and turned backwards. Its neck morphs from wiry fur into hard plastic with two layers, allowing it to slide in and out like a camera adjusting its aperture. Its head is entirely made of glass. It often wears what used to be its lens cap on its head. Its tail is made of wiry fur that loops around back to the top. It has particles of red bacteria floating around it, and on its back is a crusty mix of natron and salt, as well as a clump of red oat grass.

Origin

This esk was a camera in its former life. Its owner must have lost it.
