History
Sometime in the late-14 century DR, Suratuk decided to take up the hobby of hand-painting and decorating unique, as well as dangerous, animals. Many of them being mounts. He eventually was awarded the title of "Visionary" for his efforts to paint a giant spider teal, whose bites required him to seek a healer.

Once while observing wild giant crabs, Suratuk was overcome with emotions as he gazed upon the vibrant orange hues the sun took as it set over the waves. Following that incident he no longer painted crabs red, only vibrant orange.

Once after adventuring in a jungle, Suratuk returned home and proclaimed that, "blue is the perfect camouflage for the jungle!" He then proceeded to paint a number of tarantulas blue, receiving many bite marks up his hands in the process.

Other creatures that Suratuk was known to have painted included axebeaks, crag cats, and giant striders.
