ancient guardians of a forbidden city. each of their eyes can see into a different era, allowing them to learn from the past while they prepare for the future
Thinking about @gehtsis’s children and how terrifying it would be to get their team assigned to help you escape from a mystery dungeon.
If these are what my heroes look like I'm 99% certain I'd be screaming and running the other way. Menacing cryptid-looking grim reaper and cursed psychic clay doll. I love them.
Please please share some info on your Claydol/Umbreon sona 👀 👀
Well they're not a very lore heavy character ´v` Just a fun design I got attached to more than I intended I guess.
It's genderless, sexless and doesn't seem to age (it/they pronouns)
It's sentient but in a hard to decipher way. It prefers solitude and sparsely communicates with other beings.
It's seven eyes can move independently from each other.
The head can rotate and spin freely, and while it's not attached to the body, it usually maintains it's position, hovering at the end of the nonexistent neck.
The ears and tail are fully rigid. The tail can be bent from the base but the ears are always static (I think of them as baseball bat-like).
The mouth is a dead end and disappears completely when closed, but it can open very wide and is full of teeth (canines in particular are very sharp, curved and prominent).
The skin is firm, smooth, hairless and matte, similar to unglazed ceramic, and it matches the ambient temperature of the surroundings.
It's mostly odorless but has a faint aroma of dirt and myrrh.
It's resistant to heat and cold but can't stand water. It gets slow, lethargic and confused and starts to suffer tissue damage if it gets wet enough.
It's about the size of a caracal.
It doesn't breathe.
It doesn't seem to need to eat, and it doesn't have a working digestive tract. The internal organs it has are only vaguely reminescent of organic viscera and don't have a clear purpose, they're all uniformly orange and have the consistency of hard boiled egg yolk.
It sleeps a lot, or maybe hibernates, often in oddly upright and stiff positions.
It's generally a quiet and fairly inactive creature, but when it moves it can be surprisingly swift and nimble, the locomotion is mostly a mix of cat, dog and hare movements.
Sometimes it makes various hollow hissing and rattling noises when it moves, or sounds similar to two pieces of pottery or stone being ground together.
It's most common active vocalization is barking and it sounds like the clack of hyoshigi:

It's not aggressive, but can inflict feelings of anxiety, disorientation and mild catatonia on onlookers when threatened, and being on the receiving end of it's psychic attacks sounds like a bullroarer:
