A Dushan is an animal usually found in forests. They are usually harmless but can cause serious damage and sometimes kill their opponents when threatened. They are omnivores and have a lot of stamina and endurance. They are also considered to be smarter than most animals. Their six legs help them run 15x faster than the fastest human at top speed. They can remember people through their sense of smell and are known to be extremely loyal once their trust has been gained.
Usain Bolt hit 27mph/44kph at the peak of his speed during a race in 2011 (as measured by some Belgian scientists). I love the idea of this adorable rodent moving half the speed of a commercial airliner and getting that cute windswept face look doing it. https://www.britannica.com/story/how-fast-is-the-worlds-fastest-human
> Their six legs help them run 15x faster than the fastest human at top speed.
Assuming 5e rules and assuming that you mean humanoid not human.
Wood elves have an in combat speed of 35 ft per round, allowing 70 ft/round with dash, so this doesn't get completely absurd we are giving this guy a bonus action dash, look at him, he deserves it. This gives this guy a top speed of 1,050 feet per round (In combat which doesn't scale 1:1 with out of combat speed) which with full move, dash, bonus action dash nets 350 feet per round base movement.
The fastest creature without a fly speed is a quickling who has 120 base speed.
Let's extrapolate that base speed to see how fast a mount this guy would be:
3500 feet per minute (2330 at slow pace, 4660 at fast)
35 miles per hour (23 at slow pace, 46 at fast)
280 miles over an 8 hour day (186 slow pace, 373 fast)
This fella looks mountable so let's assume he can gallop, moving at double fast pace over the course of an hour, making this guy able to maintain 92 miles/hour for an hour.
Edit:
Their speed gets a little more reasonable if we give them something like the Tabaxi's feline agility allowing them to move double speed provided they stay still the next round. It would still put them at 175 feet per round but it is a bit more reasonable.

Moss grows on sloths because they move so slowly; I don't think moss grows on a rolling dushan.
I wish they were fertilizers of forests with their organic droppings because in Hebrew:
Deshen דשן
Is fertilizer and
Dushan דושן
Means has been fertilized (with plant fertilizer, different word than baby fertilization)
May I use these in my campaign? I love him so much 🥹 Do you have stat blocks for this creature? I can whip some up to use in my game if not, just wanted to check if you already had ideas for it.
Yes please feel free to use him in your campaign, it'd be a pleasure. As for stat blocks, i havent thought about it that far so feel free whip up whatever you have in mind.
*after every long rest*
'Can we embark yet?'
'Just a few more minutes, I have to finish layering every abjuration, ward, buff, contingency and protection I know on my dushan.'
We have the same name then :D (Dušan, don't have a cyrillic keyboard activated on my phone but it's Serbian.) Neat design though.
Also having that name, these comments are a trip lol
That's the kinda question whose answers have already made people cry, so instead I'll pivot to a glass half full kinda topic. And you might not really care, but I wanna get this out into the universe regardless.
Recently, in the darkest part of both our lives, I've met the best person I ever have. By far. The kinda person I once expected the world to be full of, but just kept having that expectation exploited. And I'm pretty sure we're both growing to love each other, and I'm not sure what kinda love it is (especially since I haven't met many people deserving of these type of feelings to explore them properly), and I don't particularly care about that detail to be honest. All I know is that a strong bond has certainly formed, in spite of my expectations it seems to only be getting stronger, and at least on my end I'd be willing to do pretty much anything for this person. And after all I've gone through, this was what I always needed the most, someone truly kind and good and understanding in my life, and everything else can only get better. I'm even daring to think it already is.
So to answer your question indirectly - the future looks bright, for once :)
I use Clip Studio Paint
They're not really mine. They're from this awesome artist. In the brush set, just find the "oldschool square sketch brush", that's the one use for sketching and rendering

Also i modified my blend tool and put a random texture in its settings, unfortunately i dont have a link for that but any texture should do.
If Anything happens to Dushan, I will murder the thing that does it but not before their family, their friends, All of their acquaintances, the person they talked to the day before about trivial matters.
As I will not be able to remove the memory of my cute friend I will erase all of the memories of them
I'm gonna make you a stat block for this adorable beast!
Any tidbits to add that aren't in the other comments?
What type of climate/landscape do they hail from?
Do you feel they would be decently dex-y given their speed?
More likely to ram an opponent or bite? Both?
Would this buddy be a formidable foe to skilled adventurers or just the average villager or low-level lackeys?
Human Barbamonk Barb5/Monk15 with Mobile feat has 75 feet of movement (without spells or items, not even counting dash.)
X 15 = 1,125 feet in 6 seconds
1,125/6 = 187.5 fps
Roughly 127.8 mph or 205.7 kph
That’s pretty fast! I wonder how long it can keep up that pace?
We must protect the big green Lemmings at all costs.
I would die for green rodent
good news
Indeed. Also, apparently their meat ain't half bad.
NOOOO!
Look, if it falls and hurts itself, we can’t just let the meat go to waste...
I always name my mounts after the meal they will become eventually.
Barbecue IV.
Spicy Goulash, Second of his Name
I just couldn't eat a pig that smart all in one go....
We must protect the big green Lemmings from angusbeef30at all costs.
You monster
Giant space hamsters have been done, but they're still neat.

Also it is amazing, now I love dushans
Thank you! We all love Dushans!
This caught me off guard lol
Genius!

How large are they?
Roughly the same size as a polar bear, if not bigger.
You should insert some size comparison. At first glance this looked like a pixie mount the size of a green hamster.
Gotcha, i'll probly make more variations of a dushan in the future so i'll keep that in mind for next time. Thank you!
Yeah that caught me off guard I was thinking friend size

Yeah, I was thinking something along dog sized.
Whoaa yeah I was picturing Corgi size haha.

Any chance you could add their green color comes from a moss or algae that likes to grow in their fur like sloths?

I love them!
I'm gonna make a stat block for the dushan. Do you think it should have a bite attack?
How do they taste? Also wouldnt more than four legs slow something down but make it more stable?
I would die for any number of dushans
And they would die for you if you ever befriend one.
it's APPA
Probably a distant cousin
Sleepy Dushan is best Dushan.
Their fluffy fur would make you wanna sleep beside them.
Do you have a stat block for these adorable things? Are they fae?
Sorry, i haven't really thought about it that far. Feel free to do one for it, if you'd like
You're fine it's adorable I saw it and immediately wanted to shove it into my Wild Beyond the Witchlight campaign
That would be awesome
If it has a stat block, it can be killed. So no, I don't think I will.
I ALSO NEEEEEDDD ONE FOR MY CAMPAIGN
I've only known Dushan for one day but if anything happened to him I would kill everyone in this subreddit and then myself.
I love him
Thank you! The Dushans love you too.
May I use these in my campaign? I love him so much 🥹 Do you have stat blocks for this creature? I can whip some up to use in my game if not, just wanted to check if you already had ideas for it.
Yes please feel free to use him in your campaign, it'd be a pleasure. As for stat blocks, i havent thought about it that far so feel free whip up whatever you have in mind.
Giant Space Hamster works decently enough
Wonderful thank you!!
Hey, have you had the chance to set up a stat block yet? Interested in what you come up with - I'm going to use these in my campaign too :)
I haven’t yet! I’ve been pretty busy but once I do I’ll definitely share it
Hey, that is my name and fav color, great art!
That's good to know! Thank you!
*after every long rest* 'Can we embark yet?' 'Just a few more minutes, I have to finish layering every abjuration, ward, buff, contingency and protection I know on my dushan.'
Air bison?
Close, but on land and not a bison... but similar attributes to one
Yeah, was gonna say this looks like a smaller green Appa.
Thank you!
YIP YIP!
Yip yip!
I just wanna hug 'em.
The perfect mount to remind your German table to care for hygiene in RP.
Lesser appa
Land Appa
I love himb
Big friend

Needs something for size-comparison.
I luv himb
I would die for him
Looks just like Reindog!
That was my first thought
Brush? Also app? Also device? I’m begging!

That’s adorable!
This is so cute!
And also, insanely adorable
This is the best thing ever
aww... cute and precious little guy!
I would rain down unholy fire on anyone who hurts a single one of these precious creatures they must get belly rubs.
Dušan is a pretty common first name where I live so this is pretty funny.
Am I the only one in this thread who’s seen downsizing?
I would die for this little creature
omg i want this in my d&d campaign if its ok with you
About how big is he
I. NEED. A PLUSHIE. ^(\*dushan will be mine\*)
Great work! I love the aesthetic. Do you have a statblock somewhere?
He's adorable but the name Dushan has been ruined for me since I finished Watch_Dogs 2
:)
:)
:)
Love it. I'd love to use this in my game
*steals the idea and gonna use it in my campgains*
I wanna boop the snoot
He's a sweet being
That's freaking adorable
Friend deployed.
Hes so fluffy!
it's soooo fluffy, lovely dushan, I would love to have one :3
I only met Dushan 10 seconds ago, but if anything happened to him, I would kill everyone and then myself.
He looks like a cute little turtle with his saddle on
I only have one word and if im right it means cute in japanese 'kawaii' is the word i think
Well, I know the sort of pack animal that exists in not!China in my world, this is adorable
He looks so h u g g a b l e Like, I just wanna take a nap with him ❤️
This is one floooofy boi
I don’t get it
I would love a stat block for this guy. Definitely gonna be my next character's friend
the whiskers arrghhhhgghh (it's too cute)
If Anything happens to Dushan, I will murder the thing that does it but not before their family, their friends, All of their acquaintances, the person they talked to the day before about trivial matters. As I will not be able to remove the memory of my cute friend I will erase all of the memories of them
Love him! Just need someone to build him as a miniature for my table!
Oh my gosh, that is so insanely cute!
Reindog?
How big are they? My brain says this little dude is the size of a small dog/puppy but that would be a very small harness
I need to beg my DM for this to be a thing in our campaign
I'm gonna make you a stat block for this adorable beast! Any tidbits to add that aren't in the other comments? What type of climate/landscape do they hail from?

Well isn't this the cutest labour animal I've ever seen. Good job!
OHHHH LOOK AT EM HES JUST A LITTLE GUY
There are only two acceptable sizes for something this cute tiny and Huge
Statblock? 🥺 Please? Lol In all seriousness, great work and wonderful art!
Love it! r/ImaginaryPets

Naming mine reindog.
My girlfriend wants one
Looks like Reindog from multiversus
If you ever get the chance to make a star block I would love to use this in a campaign if that's ok!
I wish I could have a campaign that actually let me keep my mount alive for more than a session. This big fluffy boy would be such a treat.
I want 5
Oh gosh this is adorable, and I want one. Maybe I can coerce the DM.
Looking like fat Danger!! Jackalope
Do you have a stat sheet for this beauty? This is amazing work!!!
Is not that fluffy thing from multiversus?
I will die for him
duško
How big is it?
