Project Update: Design Reveal: What is a Baku Anyway?
Introducing our honored guest, the Baku!
Baku are mythological creatures in Japanese folklore that are said to eat nightmares. While they are commonly depicted as a tapir, we wanted this pin design to callback to their roots as chimera by augmenting the tapir body with tiger claws, elephant tusks, and a cow's tail. The pose and colors are also inspired by folk art depictions of baku and other mythological creatures for a fun splash of color!
The Baku pin will be available for unlock as part of the campaign. It's looking forward to finding a new host to feed on...
