Ok, this one is a little bit of a cheat. When I started planning my AlphaBeasts drawings I thought as far as E and knew I wanted to do this image – which is burned in my childhood memory – thinking in my mind that the famous creature from Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan was just called an Ear Worm. That’s what I always thought of it as. But a simple Google search (or maybe being a Trekkie) would tell you that the proper species name is the Ceti Eel. I had already committed to placing this one in E though so I stuck with my improper naming, thus risking a torrent of internet outrage from Trek fans across the world.

So much for planning ahead, by the way. I ended up changing my plans on both C and D at the last minute and almost changed this one too. There are a lot of great beasts to choose from for the next few letters so I’m not even 100% sure what I’m doing next week for F.
