Whos ferdinand in this world?

urgh, I’m a sucker for pity but actually honest thanks so much for asking?!

okey so, Ferdinand technically speaking is no one important in that world as a whole, I mean, is more of a “common person“ type of deal

The Unearthly County is the way in which I call the “other world” in which all the unnatural creatures are from/roam/live for the most part when they are not at earth or in whatever other “common world” they have, I planning on explaining this better later and in the comic, but anyways, there is an a lot of social structure according to how much powerful or omnipotent they are, and Ferdinand is a younster so really, he isn’t even is enlisted on anything of that yet

Ferdinand is just your average youngster that prefers to keep things to themself, getting a job that doesn’t involve working at the family business, getting familiar with his eldritch abilities, in general, just wanna be considered more of an adult, which is already hard when the average adult age there is like 200 at least and you are like 23

What does ferdinand transform into ???is the just a normal pet or does it do something?

that one is a secret and Mr Sweetsalt is a sizeshifter, I think thats probably a common pet trail in this kind of world, probably also shines, not sure yet, anyways, he does what most pet do, eating and loving unconditionally

If it's not spoilery, what's the "family business" Ferdinand don't want to get involved with?

now that I think about it, “not getting involved in the family bussiness” probably sounds pretty ominous ahahahah

I was actually referring to Welles and Shawn’s antiques/pawn shop, Ferdinand actually has indeed worked on it for quite a while (the common life of anybody whoes parents have a home bussiness) but would prefer having a different job to have more independence in general even tho he knows that doesn’t mean any future shop task will be just gone from then on
