If we make fun of him, that would be such a shame!

Whilst I was playing in my GenCraft AI art studio, searching for new characters to invite into my barnyard menagerie, it accidentally gave me this adorable baby. He seems to be a cross between a squirrel and a dragon, hence the name I gave him… Squagon! Don’t judge, because both Tilly and Dinky came up with it! 

I was planning on making up a different name later on, after those two piped down about the goofy name, but once Brutus got wind of the agon part, there was no going back!

I’m trying to create several lines of children’s books that have unusual, yet adorable creatures… with their own little lives and adventures taking place every time they leave the yard. Tilly was so much fun to write that I added Dinky next, though it hasn’t been seen yet. For some reason, I wanted at least 3 new friends to share my barnyard, eventually welcoming in Tilly, Dinky, and Brutus. Actually, I first discovered Squagon, while fine tuning my descriptors with the AI, to help me create Dinky. 

Somewhere in the AI’s pool of imagination came some past suggestion of a squirrel, jumping into the mix of my request for a dragon… go figure! One can say that this was a Happy Accident! The crazy thing is that most of my best literary work has felt akin to this accident… and he definitely makes me feel Happy! 

The barnyard is an explosion of cuteness overload, from all my new ideas and discoveries, which are mostly just oopsies that happened, while working with the AI on other articles. I love it when happy accidents come together!

In honesty, I don’t yet know if the name will stay as such, but I have to wait for Brutus to stop running around the yard, singing ” You say Squagon but I say Dragon… Squagon Dragon, Squagon Dragon”… honestly, he’s gone round the bend! Either that or I have…
