Where did he come from – this fleck of spite in an abandoned paradise? Who is this peace-shattering scourge of the forest? He is the last of the Dashkin, but in the rough language of wild creatures, he is known only as Bitey.
click above image to get high res.
The Last of the Dashkin fills in some of Bitey’s back story and poses a few questions about the world in which he lives.
This movie is my answer to those who said Brackenwood was nothing but a series of pointless scenes strung together. Up to this point, I’m inclined to agree so each new installment in the series from here on will be loaded with questions and answers on the history of Brackenwood and the future of her inhabitants.

WHERE IS PART TWOOOOOO
OMBBQG this sure brings memories back!
Adam you’re the best!!! Mr. Phillips your work is simply breathtaking!
Words ain’t enough to describe it…
I’ve know your work since the main site was green with Biographies of the characters and the story of “Brackenwood”, which first lines I will never forget: “Imagine a world so small…” and then it said something like “you could walk around it in a month” or something :/ , and there were also little descriptions about water and air and the explanation of the trees that can sing but during certain storms were dangerous… I’m getting nostalgic haha!
I’ve been following your work since Bingbong of Brackenwood was made, oddly I found that one in a site full with games of all sort and when opened it and read the introduction I just said “wtf is this?” hahaha I think it was around 2002 or 2003… maybe 2002 cause I remember just have turned 13 years old that year… and I’m now 21 (:
Since the first time I saw your movies I completely fell in love! The music charmed me, specially the one song at the ending of Prowlies on the river haha!
Have to say that your stories scared the living sh*t of me when I first read them and, when I read that they were all “true stories” I was literally shaking of fear hahaha, I think that time was when the movies began to be in biteycastle, which If I’m not wrong it was with Prowlies at the River, which have gotten a prize…
Sorry for writing this much, I’m just so excited!!! I’ve been busy internet-less and traveling for almost 3 years! (kind-a-like 2-1/2 years though…) and now that I remembered that the site was “bitey” instead of “bitten” I can stay up to date
hahaha. Last time I checked updates of the Brackenwood series, The YuYu just have been released hahaha I tried so hard to learn Saurus as I thought it would be useful if the YuYu caught me the exact moment before falling to sleep, so I could tell them “I’m not going to pickup rocks for you f*ckers!” hahahaha but no one else around where I live (lived back then) wanted to “practice” it with me ): , I really feared to one day fall asleep and then be kidnapped to later wake up being 35 … I’m dead serious! haha.
Well, the main reason of me barging with such psychotic speech, besides the fact that now I can do it as last time I came around that option wasn’t available… is to thank you, thank you because your work was an important part of my life and helped me a lot back then when I really truly needed it, someway it inspired me to keep on dreaming and gave me the hope I was missing (: because of that childish hope I’m now halfway into becoming a Doctor, know 5 languages and have traveled into every single continent… just because I “ignored the warnings of the ancients and got lured by the faery folk music and dancing”… Really, thank you
You gotta keep spellbounding us with your awesome work! I’m looking forward to your next masterpiece
:):):):):) although I temporaly couldn’t check your site I never forgot about your stories 
P.S.
Your Christmas animation with drunken Santa always make me flip from wherever I’m sitting hahahaha and your short named “taken” or something gave my little sister a half-year fear to sinks and windows just because I followed the advise of “turning the volume of the speakers top high” hahahaha.
P.S. 2
NEVER make your movies/stories downloadable… they’ll lose charm.
thanks for sticking with me over the years Alex! Here’s the old Brackenwood world overview you were speaking of: http://bitey.com/brackenwood/
Parts of it have evolved over the years so it may no longer be 100% accurate. Some day I’ll do a comprehensive Brackenwood design bible with greater depth.
Thanks again! It’s always a great pleasure to read messages like yours
MAGNIFICOOOOO!!!!!!
es genial XP
I’m fan of you who lives in Japan.
Thank you for a lot of wonderful works up to now.
It satisfied it though it was very reluctant to part.
Very very thank you!!
（I am not good at English. (；ω；)）
You should make more episodes, please… for TV or for what you want, but I want to know more about this character and the others…
who is the little girl? and why does she want to hurt bitey?
will his horns grow and curl like a goats’ when he gets older?
please answer adam your the only one who can. or if you have to ask the Auld Sage.
Hey dude when are you gonna finish the series: Dashkin fxf 21-33 on youtube, or even your site thankyou for your great work. I just hope to see more.
I’ve been watching since I saw Prowlies on Newgrounds I believe. Such awesome stories. In Iraq right now I come back every so often when I think of it to check on whats been updated. This fills in the story nicely, but definately need more, any ETA on when the continuation may be done?
Absolutely LOVE all of your animations. I don’t see how others think that they are just random scenes put together. They do tell stories. I can’t wait to see your next animation, Adam. You really inspire me to become better with animating.
I absolutly agree with Kayla. Anyone who says that they think the Brackenwood series is just a bunch of random animations is just plain… silly, for lack of a nicer word. I absolutly LOVE all the Brackenwood animations that you do. “The Last Dashkin” is my absolute favorite so far, and I can not wait to find out what happens to Bitey!!!!!!! keep up the AMAZING work, and thank you so much for sharing your wonderful animations with us.
Love the music, especially the YuYu scene, love the characters, and love the animation. Wish I could take some of my own ideas and do the same.
They definitely aren’t just a string of random scenes pulled together; the fact that the videos contain little dialogue only adds to their unique style. They all have story, and they’re all great. The simplicity and lack of dialogue makes for a more interesting experience, and leaves much to the watcher’s imagination.
Not to say that this one isn’t fantastic. This was the first I saw, and I can’t wait for the next part.
love your animations, are full of movement and fantasy. Simply amazing, hope we can see the next chapter soon
hey any hints on when next brackenwood clip comes out ive been waiting all year
I’m crazy about your animations! I really think you should gather a team (a big one), make your animations faster and create a movie with the full story.
It kind of makes me sad thinking that not everyone will live long enough to see the complete series. I think every person in this planet deserves to see how beautiful this is.
NOOOOO!
MORE!MORE!MORE!!
PLZ!!!!!!
Soooo cool *o*
The hotness burns my ayes!! >_< ♥
I´m waiting for the second part!
~
EPIC… just epic
I’m curious, were the YuYu (I think they were the YuYu) fighting along side the Dashkin and the wizards or sages? We’ve only seen them in that one instance when they were chasing Bitey. They seem to be the only intelligent life left besides Bitey.
Other than that, I’ve been watching your work since prowlies. You do amazing work. I can’t wait to see part two
!
I love Brackenwood! The creatures and the very lanscape have their own personality, and the story is great. Did the dashkin fight with or against the wizards(or whatever they are)? I know my question will probably be answered in your next vid, but I had to ask.
I think the brackenwood series is very usable to make a 3D RPG.
I would be interested to make such a thing some day.
Очень красиво-мне понравилось.Dashkin-это старинная татарская фамилия.
вау! Я не знаю, что Dashkin является древней фамилии татар. Это фантастика! Спасибо, что сказали
why are you talking backwards
That woman at the end, is that LemoneyWee?
yep
A quick question, if you want to answer it: Were all the Dashkin that fast, or is Bitey special?
According to the Auld Sage, dashkin were known for their “speed over land”.
So they were all as fast as Bitey? Good to know. Thanks you
I can see this going forward into something big. I know this will be a while but I am in the Air Force and once I get out in 4 years, I’m using my GI Bill Money to pay for a 3D animation, Sound engineering, and an all-round collection of video gaming degrees and experience. If your still putting things out when I am good at my thing. I’ll offer my experience free of charge.
thanks for the offer Shane
I wish you the best of luck with your career man.
I am a sound Engineer (with a Degree from SCAD) with an minor in animation. I have a high regard for sound/animation and I think the world of yours! Been watching it since at least 2005 or 2006. As much as I love Bitey, I adore your shorts films! Please make more of those as well?
Thanks for a look into your world
-Mo
It means a lot when someone who knows sound comments on the Brackenwood stuff, cos I’m a bit of a hack with a lot to learn. Thanks for the feedback and thanks for sticking with me these past 5 years
I have a little trouble believing you know little about sound and animation. To me this is some of the best animation of your art type. Forgive me for being a bit forward but you shouldn’t knock yourself down when your work is so good.
Beautiful series, I’ve been following them since when bitey was introduced.
I would really like to see more episodes very soon!
best vid ever finally we got a storyline up in here

i want the game!! hahahaha
Ah. Thanks for the reminder. Here it is!
BrackenSack
I have been watching your cartoons since my early teens. I am now in my early twenties. PLEASE make more, your cartoons express a very unique and interesting perspective and a remarkable knack for story telling. Brackenwood has always been a nice place to go in my head. Any embellishing of the lore of Brackenwood is welcome. Its truly a magical place.
WHATTTT ? one video every years… I — I can’t wait ! :’C
I absolutely love this episode, i really cant wait for the next one. i saw it for the first time a while ago on newgrounds and am still waiting for the sequel. I’m a huge fan of the Brackenwood series and of your style of animation.
@ Gaviao
I quite agree, I want to see the continuation of this episode, but I’m not expecting it to be out for years:P
it’ll be out this year. Promise!
For that promise, I’ll be willing to donate.
beautiful film with beautiful music
