This Week in Aurebesh presents Pets of the Old Republic #22: The Earthen Thurrb! This creature, unique to #SWTOR, is part frog, part hippo and part walrus, making it a froggopotarus, I guess. Check out my latest post to learn about it and its full grown kin!

This Week in Aurebesh celebrates Halloween with a new member of the Pets of the Old Republic: The Devious Creep! This mysterious, horrific and *very* expensive creature is ready to trick or treat across the galaxy, but mainly, I fear, it's ready to trick! #SWTOR

I have a fondness for the smaller mounts in #SWTOR; they just feel faster. This Verdier Luxline speeder is the final reward in the current Galactic Season. The emblem with the manufacturer's name is written in #aurebesh using the very appropriate Aurebesh Racer AF Mono by @aurekfonts.bsky.social!

This Week in Aurebesh presents Pets of the Old Republic #20: The Flirron! This very tiny and hungry flying fish from the planet Onderon, a world rich in Star Wars lore, can be found by #SWTOR achievement hunters and won't cost you a single Cartel Coin or credit.

I do love the #SWTOR Feast of Prosperity event, but gosh are the two new "Grand" carpets really smol, especially compared to last year's addition. I really do wish we could scale some decorations like this.

This Week in Aurebesh presents Pets of the Old Republic #19: The Nefarious Blurrg! Despite (or perhaps because of) its ridiculous appearance and name, the Blurrg has made its mark on very nearly every era of Star Wars lore. It's also one my favorite #SWTOR pets!

As part of the research for my next Pet of the Old Republic, I had to dig this big boss of a book out of the back of my closet. Not everything #StarWars is on the internet it seems!

Eternity Vault at 50 was tricky because the fall dmg during Soa because there were 3 AOE heals in #SWTOR at the time. When reaching a pause on the platforms, one pug started yelling "Heal! HEAL! HEEEAL!" I said "Dude, my AOE heal has a cast time." He says "It's instant on my Scoundrel." My reaction:

I used to attempt to capture screenshots of the pets on location, but getting tiny critters to stand still in game is nearly as difficult as it is in real life. Instead I created a "photobooth" in my stronghold so that I can collect reference material in a controlled environment. 3/3

I was recently asked about my process in creating these illustrations. I start with an outline of the pet based on references from #SWTOR, and then build up the shading, shapes and textures of the creature, while I try to keep the references, I try to add my own flourishes to each illustration. 🧵

This Week in Aurebesh presents Pets of the Old Republic #18: the Woodland Nexu! This kitty is more nightmare fuel than fluffball, and its design process shows how even smol critters in Star Wars combine familiar elements to become creatures all their own. #SWTOR

The "language" seems to based on Naboo Futhork which was created for Phantom Menace, but appears frequently in SWTOR. The letter Z appears frequently and prominently in the game and I generally assume it is a tribute to Greg Zeschuk who co-founded Bioware and worked on SWTOR.

@swtor.com - Are there Small Ceiling hooks in the game? I LOVE the new vine decos we get this season, but there are only Large Ceiling hooks in our strongholds. There are small hooks on Manaan, but they are regular wall hooks. I'd love a large ceiling hook with 9 smalls like there is for the floor.

This Week in Aurebesh presents Pets of the Old Republic #17: the Ebon-Wing Flutterplume! Flutterplumes are the Star Wars version of parrots, and I explore their place in Star Wars lore and connections to tales of piracy from across popular culture! #SWTOR
