Zymar’s Bestiary

The official companion coloring book to Hypostasis: a Space Opera by McCallum J. Morgan

Art by the author.

McCallum has visualized 14 of the monsters and animals from the Hypostasis universe, and now it’s up to you to bring them to life.

An author’s description is only half the picture and the reader fills it in with their own imagination. A book is a collaborative project. And so is a coloring book. These drawings are the imaginings of the author, but they’re waiting for you, the readers and co-artists, to complete the vision. The reader is the one who brings the depth and texture to the written word. And you’re the one who brings the color and texture to this art. Make it your own. Step into the story and the alien worlds of Hypostasis.

Each beast in the bestiary has an info page so you can learn where they come from and how they live in the wild. Included are many of the beasts that Zymar Thrassus trains as a Thrik Monster Maestro: the wolf-like sichre, leonine Bykka, toad-like Olba, and of course, the fearsome Kijir Loth. We also get to see some of the beasts that are only mentioned in passing in the books: the giraffe-esque Prindelophore, the whiny fuerrtha, and the avian Ra’ca.

Zymar’s fascination with the hideous and strange ultimately guides him on an unlikely rise from beast training to the circles of leadership in the rebellion against the Empire.

An adventure into the fabric of the universe and a fight for salvation.
