Pretty nice surprise so quickly after the wonderworm. Here's hoping KC is on a roll and comes out with more monsters at the same rate. Oh, wonderworm came out in June. Already that long? Still, 3 months is pretty fast compared to the over a year gaps I've seen between other releases. So if there's another this year I'd be happy.

I actually thought this was a type of slime, but after reading the bio, the most obvious comparisons are to the mimic and the gyobu danuki. Coin and Mimic could work well together, lurking in the same dungeon disguised as various types of treasure, making it even harder to find any material goods. There's also plenty of powerful monsters that might like to keep her around, like gryphons, wights, or dragons, as a trap for anyone who tries to steal their treasure.

She's a bit like the gyobu danuki in that both take advantage of men's love for money. But I've found myself struggling to see why anyone would like the danuki. Feels like a monster that just preys on men and I can't think of many scenarios that eould be interesting to read or write, other than "danuki buys this guy or his business". Maybe it's also cause I don't like a lot of the beastman mamono.

Maybe this doesn't make sense, since the Coin literally uses men's greed to luure them in, while disguised as a pile of money. But she's still sexier, and can think of a few more ideas for where she might fit in a story.
