[[Image:Bakensobek.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Bakensobek as drawn by himself.]]'''Kaa Bakensobek''' (often just '''Kaa''') is the [[fandom]] name of a [[scalie]] [[artist]] and [[writer]] living in Colorado. Born and raised in Puerto Rico, he has been drawing [[anthropomorphic]] characters from a very young age, and continuing almost non-stop since then. Like many in the fandom, his favorite art subjects were [[canid]]s and the occasional [[feline]] popping up. As time progressed, he came to prefer [[reptile]]s, [[dinosaur]]s in particular, which currently make up the vast majority of his work.

He later discovered the furry fandom, which led him to attend his first [[convention]], [[Confurence]] 8. Certain events during and after the con prompted him to move into Colorado in 1997. He settled in the Denver metropolitan area two years later, and lives there to this day.

He is mostly known for his drawings featuring reptilian creatures, mostly dinosaurs, and often adult in nature. He considers himself a "storyteller", infusing many of his drawings with descriptions that often detail how the characters in his drawings arrived at the situation depicted in the images. Among his characters, the most notable are "Grell and Darkthunder", an ankylosaur and a deinonychus living together as a gay couple in a science-fiction universe. They are the most prominent characters in his [[Fur Affinity]] gallery.

Kaa has written several short stories, and has plans for a trilogy of fantasy novels featuring [[humanoid]], [[dragon]]-like characters of his own creation, introduced in earlier stories he has posted to his online galleries.

He is also a fan of [[Bowser]], the arch enemy of Nintendo's mascot [[Wikipedia:Mario|Mario]]
, and is fond of The Inside Story, a game for the DS featuring Bowser.
== The "raptor" ==
[[Image:Darkie-Grell.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Darkthunder and Grell, two of Kaa's characters. The one on the left is a deinonychus, similar to Kaa's former avatar.]]Kaa has held several [[avatar]]s through the years, starting with a rather short-lived dragon in the Alt.Fan.Dragons Usenet group and channel on Dalnet [[IRC]]. Perhaps due to its short existence, no drawing was ever rendered of this avatar.

One of his best known incarnations was that of '''Kaa Starhunter''', an anthropomorphic ''Deinonychus'' (known by some as a [[raptor|velociraptor]]) with a feathered crest. The first name, Kaa, was adopted from the [[snake]] of the same name from the "[[Jungle Book]]" stories by Rudyard Kipling.

This "raptor" avatar lived in a contemporary world, unlike most of the characters he likes to write and draw about.

With time came the realization that, while he still liked dinosaurs, another animal was perhaps more fitting to his nature. In late 2003, the raptor was bid a fond farewell. While still living in a planned series of comic strips called ''"Predator and Prey"'', the author admits he hasn't made the time to chronicle the escapades of his former alter-ego.

== The crocodile ==
[[Image:DSC00947.JPG|right|thumb|200px|Kaa Bakensobek in his first and current fursuit incarnation.]]
In his current character's mythology, he is a long-living, half-[[human]]/half-[[crocodile]] servant of [[Egyptian mythology|Sobek]]. This one is known only as the "Bakensobek", without the ''Kaa'' praenomen, and translates as "servant of Sobek" in the ancient Egyptian language.

Another incarnation is that of an anthropomorphic crocodile living in a contemporary setting, and goes with the full ''Kaa Bakensobek'' name.

Kaa is currently working to bring both crocodile incarnations as a [[fursuit]]. This would be his second appearance in a crocodile costume; the previous one being that of a not-so-bright thief named ''Sivak'', a character from a medieval or ''[[Dungeons & Dragons]]''-type setting. Other than this, Sivak does not represent any kind of alter-ego of its creator, nor is in any way related to his "bakensobek" self.

== Online and real life encounters ==

The man behind the crocodile is often somewhat reclusive and silent. However, he can be found online sometimes roaming several [[sim]]s of [[Second Life]], more often than not as something other than a crocodile, but always a reptilian character.

Kaa has announced he will be taking an extended break from attending any [[:Category:Conventions|convention]]s.

Blitzkrieg the Dragon:

'''Shiroku''' was a [[dhole]] who used to be a chat moderator for [[Yiffchat]]. She joined Yiffchat in 2005, and was perhaps one of the most popular chat regulars. In early 2009, the many photographs Shiroku submitted of "herself" were revealed to have been stolen from another person. She was really a male masquerading as a female. He left YC, leaving both Shiroku's account and the corresponding male profile, "Tom", abandoned. Many of his old friends continue to assert Shiroku's innocence.
