The Shady Stilt Lands

"The Shady Stilt Lands is one of our more... off beat exhibits in the new and improved Zooge. A dark oak forest home to both one of the least and most extraordinary animals in the area.

While it is indeed true that there are Skunks who call this exhibit home, they are not the focus, but...

The Stiltwalkers are the real focal point of the exhibit. We have three of these strange and wonderful herbivores here and the one pictured here is our most sociable one named Manbearpig.

The exhibit has two viewing vents within, one looking on the watering hole and the other in a small clearing near the fence. Though it's hard to tell, one can actually see Manbearpig in this image as well. (Luna is just here because her legal guardian works here, and she likes this exhibit).

Despite these creature's more menacing apearence, we've found that the Stiltwalkers (like Sams featured here) are more docile in nature, despite what their large size and dark colors may lead one to believe. Much of their diet seems to consist of grasses and leaves from what we've seen.

Unlike most of our exhibits where the fences aren't super useful for seeing what's inside, due to the size of the Stiltwalkers (like Thatcher here), you can pretty easily see them over it when they are near by.

And now to introduce and showcase our keepers for this exhibit, the returning Shion Yorigami and the new Kogasa Tatara! Due to Shion presently being in a (marginally) better financial situation than before, she no longer needs to live in the exhibit she works in. Kogasa just wanted an eerie job, and she didn't have the experience needed for some of the... more dangerous spooky critters, so the Stiltwalkers felt perfect!"

-Dr. D Clownberg, Zooge Owner.

So, uh, this is the new Zooge post format! Bigger, more screenshots, more information! Hardest shot was the keeper one, since god knows the maid AI likes to wander around and not look at you, even when they're set to follow... Anyways, I'll include little snipits on the main creatures of interest in each area, a little on what to expect, a blurb on the staff, and a pic of the Minimap view!

Also, this IS the area that won the poll, it's just that I got the name wrong. I'll also be signing all of these with the name of their in-universe Writer, so yeah. To think you could have seen some more shady shit if you chose the HQ ; ) So yeah! Hope you'll enjoy the Zooge Shenanigans!

Hello! I've been struggling with how to depict and voice an eldritch horror entity. They are far removed from this universe, so I'm at a loss at how they would speak and act when interacting with a host/human. Can you help me and/or give me examples of what that might look like?

How to Give an Eldritch Horror Entity a Voice

-> feel free to edit and adjust pronouns as you see fit.

Emotionless Curiosity or Cruel Fascination

The entity may observe humans like a scientist would observe test subjects. It is not inherently evil, just so far removed that it doesn't comprehend pain or morality.

Example: "You break so easily. Such a soft mind, blistering with thoughts. Why do you weep?"

Example: "Fear. I recognize the shape of it now. Like heat in the bones."

Predator and Prey

The entity is aware of its power but it enjoys the chase. It is patient, and speaks low and slow to stretch out the dread.

Example: "I can hear your pulse like music. Louder now. Louder still."

Childlike and Curious

The entity is innocent and sounds sweet and playful, but does not understand the reality of what it is doing.

Example: "You're leaking! Why do you leak like that? Should I put it back in?"

Timeless Watcher

The entity speaks as if it has witnessed countless lives, deaths, and civilization. Everything the human feels is insignificant.

Example: "You are not the first to beg. The first was a king with gold in his mouth."

Curious but Growing Self Awareness

The entity is just beginning to understand language, humans, and itself.

Example: "Pain. You... do not like it."

Example: "Lonely. That is the word. I have never been lonely before you."

Foreign Language

The entity can't (or won't) use grammar like a human. It might communicate in fractured bursts, in symbols, in numbers, etc.

Example: "Lightlightdarkfolding--fold--fold--fleshwrongYES."

Example: "WE--I--MANY come through the not-between. Hello. Hello. Nothello."

Nonverbal Communication

The entity doesn't speak in the traditional sense. It communicates via dreams, hallucinations, physical sensations, etc. Words might appear as taste, as pain, or involuntary thoughts in the character's mind.

Example: She smelled salt and rotting roses. Then the message came: "Let me in."

Example: He tasted metal and heard weeping in the back of his mind.

Will you ever drawn Yue Qingyuan as a skin creature?

I’ve thought about it a lot especially since I’m so biased towards YQY!! But my brain always halts at the thought of the fact CQM will have a skin creature as sect leader,,,, I have so many questions as to how the mountain will be run. BUT IT’D BE SO FUNNY IF IT WAS JUST BUSINESS AS USUAL 😭😭

Halloween is almost here, bitches!

I've been asked multiple times which Vincent Price movie I recommend.

Here are some of my favorite Vincent films. If you're a horror buff, and even if you're not - these movies are amazing and I highly recommend them!!
