more mons :O

Pheasantpaw (per/pers), a fakemon called a slugecho. Per fell into the tunnels that make up a clan's territory and joined the clan after its members helped per. Pheasantpaw wants to return the favor somehow.

Gravelpaw (any pronouns), an unown/nickit fusion. Pretty odd but otherwise fairly nice!

Bouncepaw again! She has evolved :]]] she likes to do border patrols and scare away trespassers hehehe

Feed me money and i will do art in return (insert picture of a cat snorfing the camera)

[raintailed]

i did it again. color update

YEAH BOIIII!! finally made references for Luce.

1st image is of them before they got their soul messed with. 2nd image is their current appearance. and 3rd image is what they will look like soon, but that part of their story hasn't happened yet

Luce is a funny mothman creature who eats light (literally). They like to cling to walls, cause mischief, etc. Also sometimes they get disoriented when they fly so they fly into someone's face LOL

INV REAL!!!!!!!!! it's just a concept but yes. real

Uhh my inv has Lore. Basically, MARS (the eldritch thing masquerading as an iterator) decided it would be fun to make a simulation where they put a scug through hell versions of the vanilla regions, just to see how hardy a scug can possibly be.

Except because MARS is anomalous and weird and stolen iterator parts don't like that, uhhhh the simulation became Real and formed a whole entire Mirror World. the Mirror World is basically Inv's campaign but it includes all of rain world and it is exceedingly weird.

Also Mirror World's timeline placement is totally fucked up because different regions have different world states basically? The mirror vanilla regions are in hunter's worldstate, since the simulation was made right before Moon was revived. But there are other regions that appear to be from Saint's time, from Spearmaster's time, or even from when the ancients were still around. It's very weird

ANYWAY uhh. my inv is based on five-lined skinks and has inverted countershading! because it's fun :]

Not sure how to implement iterator generations into my personal lore... i probably can't do it based on puppet design because uhhh. Looks at all my iterators. They're very diverse

Basically I think that iterator puppets often reflect local culture and the art traditions of their Ancients. Not always, since there are plenty of puppets that just use a template. And also I have some blorbos who have a specific detachable model (including Lilypads Afloat, Visions from Windows, Volunteer in Stone)

Mayyybe I could base generations on how cans are constructed? Later gens are smaller but have more efficient systems? Maybe the internal mechanics of their puppets are more refined? Stuff like that. Like how computer generations work

[raintailed]

I imagine that the visual part of eldritch creatures is like. You try to comprehend something but you can't really wrap your brain around what you're seeing. It's similar to watching a gif of a tesseract and trying to understand how it actually works. Or better yet, it's like looking at an impossible object illusion: at a glance it looks understandable, but the longer you look at it the more you realize how it logically can't exist.

People, especially games, get eldritch madness wrong a lot and it’s really such a shame.

An ant doesn’t start babbling when they see a circuit board. They find it strange, to them it is a landscape of strange angles and humming monoliths. They may be scared, but that is not madness.

Madness comes when the ant, for a moment, can see as a human does.

It understands those markings are words, symbols with meaning, like a pheromone but infinitely more complex. It can travel unimaginable distances, to lands unlike anything it has seen before. It knows of mirth, embarrassment, love, concepts unimaginable before this moment, and then…

It’s an ant again.

Echoes of things it cannot comprehend swirl around its mind. It cannot make use of this knowledge, but it still remembers. How is it supposed to return to its life? The more the ant saw the harder it is for it to forget. It needs to see it again, understand again. It will do anything to show others, to show itself, nothing else in this tiny world matters.

This is madness.

Brand new ref for Mirah!! Her last ref was from late 2022 I think

At some point in her life, Mirah was modified by an iterator to have higher intelligence than a normal lantern mouse. Now as smart as a slugcat, Mirah realized that she hated the position she was at in the food chain. It decided that it had to fight to reach the top and finally have a peaceful life.

Notes transcript under the cut!

Notes transcript:

Mirah, "The Warrior;" she/her, it/its

Left Side:

needs 2 hands to carry a spear

can't throw objects; lancer style combat

small claws

blood glows orange (#ff7845)

weird glowy dust?

Middle:

wiggly nose

tail is long & stretchy. it's normally coiled up

main glow is #b7599e; whisker tip glow is #ff20c7

Right Side:

charging up: whisker tips, spots, & eyes glow

usually walks/runs on all 4s

stops glowing & turns gray shortly after death

The doodle in the upper left says "baby ver" and the one in the upper right reads "these things keep appearing..."

two more mons :]

Daypaw (they/she), a fusion of cyndaquil and lepiva! they're all funny cloud and space themed, and their markings/colors mimic shiny furret hehe. Uhhh Daypaw think they have to be serious to be a warrior so they try to deny their silly nature and it stresses them out :[

Sesamepaw (he/him, lun/luns), a fusion of shinx and the beta pokemon kotora. his glitch colors are based on missingno because kotora was scrapped from gen 1 as well as gen 2, and its spot in the index list is now filled by a missingno. Sesamepaw is very shy and i adore him.

[raintailed]

finally, a reference for shrill! it’s based off of screech from doors hehe

more mons!

Orangepaw (they/them, any neos), a stufful/misdreavus fusion. they are very dramatic

Snowpaw (she/her), a pansage based on those sugar cookies with floofy frosting :]

Nanner (any pronouns, they/them preferred), the taemoth from my previous post! they try to act tough but theyre actually very sweet

Nanner without wings afkdjfha

[raintailed]

another patrol art :]

this time it's of Enzo (murkrow), Shockweb (joltik), Nanner (taemoth), and Hazypaw (slup)! Both Nanner and Hazypaw are fakemon.

The story here is that Nanner lost their favorite toy in a river and needed help getting it back (they hate getting wet). Enzo and Hazypaw looked for the toy overhead and found that it had washed up downstream. Shockpaw repaired the toy and it was safely returned to its owner :]

[raintailed]

monk fans come get yalls juice!!!!!!!!!!

Like many other members of Gourmand's colony, Monk has fluff, dark splotches, and white markings. Plus he has sparkles thanks to distant nightcat ancestry (the sparkles can persist for generations)! The heterochromia matches both Survivor and Saint too :]

The whole karma flower thing is bc this fluffy boy is Attuned!! He doesn't have flowers as a pup because he's not connected to the cycle yet at that age (by the time Monk's campaign starts, he's old enough to respawn after death and all that)

transcript under the cut, plus a version without flowers (and left arm lol)

Notes transcript:

Sunrise, "The Monk;" he/him

kinda short

soft, curly fur

plump tail

Center
