The skull of the human-faced demonic rat familiar of Keziah Mason preserved in a glass dome with a numbered description tag from Miskatonic University.

I really like this skull, and the idea behind to create a collection of props related to this particular story. But to play devil´s advocate (well, I know I´m a smartass, and I´m really sorry for this), I have to admit I don´t like the shape of the teeth that much, because they are all canine-shaped and somewhat, well, unfitting. Of course, Brown Jenkin is a totally unatural being, neither human nor rat, and probably more demonic, so there is no biological justification that it should have other teeth. However, it´s quite common to portray all kinds of monsters and even normal predatory mammals for example, with stereotypical caniniformous teeth, but in reality at least nearly all mammals have a heterodont dentition, whereas such "monster-teeth" are highly unusual. I know it needs more time to sculpt molars and premolars and different shapes of them, but I can really enhance a model. Keeping in mind Brown Jenkin´s particualar taste for blood, the dentition of a vampire bat could be interesting as an example: [link]
