Three graphical drawings of Tamahuaq and co., minimized. The first shows Tamahuaq sitting up on his haunches with one claw raised, like a 招き猫 / maneki-neko. He opens his mouth and false eyes playfully. The second shows Tamahue fused with his unfortunate quarry as a monstrous sphinx. He sits in a similar pose, but from the side rather than head-on, with his face turned towards the viewer. His expression is less spirited and more ominous than the first. The last drawing shows Tamahuaq dancing stiltedly with his unfortunate subjects, like both the puppet and the puppetmaster. They are drawn to his arms in a hollow-eyed stupor. Written in Satik behind them is the old adage “rauses sund, senke hin,” which means something like “all scatter, one remains.”]
