Mr. Sanguine -

Assuming the entire world fell to her, what would she do after that?

She will use her magic to transport her infected minions back to her homeworld, where she would attempt to overrun her species (who are peaceful, I explain this a little more below). She wants her army to be strong and numerous enough to force her own species to surrender to her.

Does she love?

Her species actually doesn't have any kind of reproductive organs, so physically, she cannot*. But emotionally she is very, very attached to Quad. It's kind of like a love/hate relationship with him - she hates that he interferes with her plans and hurts her with his light attacks, but she's very attracted to him and wants him to surrender to her. She thinks about him constantly, longing to the day where she finally defeats him and overtakes his body. That would be as close to the emotion of love as she will get to.

* As a viral species, they reproduce by infecting other species. However, the relationship can be either symbiotic or parasitic depending on whether they let the host sleep and dream or they keep them awake where their body is burning and in pain.

What drives her to do what she does?

I started a story but never finished it. This is a question I was asked before and never really had an answer until I started thinking about it.

Iugulare hates that her own species is actually peaceful, and being the sadistic creature she was, she was often questioned and criticized by others of her species as to why she was so cruel to others. Eventually, she was caught torturing a test subject on her planet, and was exiled. Out of vengeance, she decided to travel the galaxy to find hosts to infect and to build an army to send back to her homeworld and take over. It's more pride that drives her in this, and she knows that if she builds a strong enough army, she could easily take over her peaceful planet.

Her ultimate goal is to control her own species, and send them off to explore and conquer the rest of the galaxy.

Why a Stoat?

My inspiration for Iugulare was a stuffed animal I found at a thrift store. Back then, I had a black light above my bed and when I turned it on her eyes would fog up and appear grey. This really inspired her to become a villain. The stuffed animal might actually be an otter but I had found images of stoats and thought she resembled them.

Plus...I have a thing for white-bellied animals

Essentially as long as the creature is sentient, she can infect it. I'm actually not really sure if she could infect a tree, plant life, ect...because she really wouldn't bother with them since they don't have a brain. The virus eats away at the skin until it enters the blood stream and travels to the host's brain. Once it infects the brain is when the host will become disoriented and start to drift to sleep. Once they've lost control of their body, the infection is in control and the host starts to act like a zombie.

So as long as the host has a brain to infect and manipulate, Iugulare would attack them. Bodhi, for example, would still be at risk of becoming an infected despite being a plant deer.

I wrote all about the infection here, so hopefully it answers any other questions you have about how her infection works.

Ooooh I see XD

Well if you have any other questions, please feel free to let me know. I'm happy to help

Everyone else, more questions, please?

Ahh my blog has been bugged! XD

Sure thing, take your time

010 -

Quad: "I'm a guardian. I'm an angel...literally. I'm a friend. I'm a dreamer...

And unfortunately...I'm a hero."

((Buuuuump!! Anyone? These are so fun to answer, I'd love to get some more questions please!))

Alright let's see...

Quad Wolf - "A guide, a mentor, a teacher...and a best friend. But on more simpler terms, I suppose you could say I'm just a wolf."

Quad Human - "I am a man who is caught in the middle of war and peace. I am a samurai who studies the ways of the Buddha as well as the ways of the sword. I have done some terrible things in my life, so I am working towards repentance, and perhaps one day I can find my own peace."

Pent - "Me? I am a tree." (Pent talks to trees, so naturally, he believes he is a tree despite really being a pronghorn antelope)

Trunks - "Well, being deceased, I know I am a ghost. But I am also in the service of the Twin Gods. So I suppose I can be called a 'ghostly servant', maybe?"

Blixt - "What am I? Lonely..." (Blixt lost his mate a long time ago, so he's often sitting alone)

Hex - "I am many things. Resilient, thankful, enlightened. But as far as giving myself a title or a label, most people call me a fortuneteller, a seer, or a prophet. And for good reason, too...I can read the stars and give prophecies to those who ask for them"

Zephyr - "I'm the Endless Forest's fashionista, fashion guru, and fashion police, teehee! I am always on the hunt for those who wear sets that are ghastly! Fashion disasters beware, hee!"

Bodhi - "What is this one? This one is not really sure. It sees other little deer that are like it but...less...plant than this one. This one does not really have an answer for you."

Iugulare - "I am the queen of infection and the powers of the dark. But you may call me your master."

Anirapio - "A hunter, a warrior, a natural born leader. Those who fear me also fear the sky, because I am often called 'Death from Above'."

Nekumbra - "Well...I wish I was just a normal doe. But sadly, I am part spider as well. I try to be a good mother to the little darling fawns I see...I tell them bedtime stories, I tuck them in to sleep, and I cradle them as they drift into their eternal slumber." (Nekumbra's venom kills fawns in moments, so she tries to make their last moments as pleasant as she can.)
