#creature design.... beloved...

eldritch aliens? . . . anyone order eldritch aliens with a false, "mimic" style body? . . . oops, wrong table--

alien au's are much fun. "cute" monsters that are actually horrifying parasites are fun. Why not both ?!

I really, really love sci-fi stories like Scavengers Reign, where there's cosmic horror and unnatural monsters... But also learning the beauty of the alien lifeforms, the circle of life far outside your control.

the concept is very vague in my head, but--

Sun & Moon (& Eclipse)

origin planet is semi-aquatic, hence the sea-star, vampire squid aesthetic

species is part of a hive-mind; being so far away from their home has severed this connection

highly adaptable; can change forms, reconstruct their body, mimic lifeforms to "better blend in"

"faces" and "limbs" are all faux, like an angler fish's lure; actual eyes and mouths are throughout body

cant speak (yet?) - would use telepathy which im sure feels great inside people's skulls

tidbits of YN

A lone scientist on a retro-tech space station orbiting a long-since changed Earth, studying parasite samples

Really loves cats - has a cat named Chimera on board, actually!

Story Crumbs / Premise

You are going to die. As glass shards float all around you in the endless void of space, the thought strikes you like a meteor. Worse than the targeted beams that cleaved your spacecraft in half. The cold, suffocating isolation of space beckons you to float for infinity. Then all at once, your world envelopes in a blinding white as limbs stretch out to envelope you, and you are plummeting down to Earth below.

. . . and that's all Ive got for now :D ty ty for reading the sillies~

The love of a creature is a salve to life's many miseries. 🖤 (Particularly if it's a huge, carnivorous monster who suffers no-one but you.)

I think there's something hilarious about how an eldritch monster, after seeing quite literally everything the world has to offer, decides it just wants to be a normal guy.

teen wolf meme: [5/6] creatures -> kanimas

Like the wolf, the Kanima is a social creature. But, where the wolf seeks a pack, the Kanima seeks a friend. A friend. What does that mean? Maybe it's lonely? ...Like a teenager.

[dood1e-bug]

Do you have ideas for any specific rumpus, legends, stories, etc there might be around Kiwi? Considering how charming all the art is I got wondering how anyone might tell "scary stories" from sightings of Kiwi.

Kiwis had both positive and negative interaction with humans more so the latter, so she tries to stay away from them and hides away in deep forests. There have been a few times people see glimpses of her some of those people giving there own tales making her out to be a aggressive creature.

A hunter saying that they heard something rustle and only saw a quick glimpse of its silhouette, led others to believe that harming anything in the woods would anger it.

People who have caught glimpses of the creature describing it as a big hairy cat like bodied creature with long arms and tail, green..Pink? color changer (or maybe multiple of its kind), with big blue eyes. (horns probably though it might have been tree branches that that person saw)

A drawing of what they would have thought she looked like based on what multiple people saw.

They started calling it the bush monster and to never wonder in the forest alone and or do harm to it or The bush monster will get you.

#085: Cosmemory

These space dwellers travel from planet to planet gathering, storing, and sharing information across the cosmos! Where wireless connections cannot reach, these are the communication lifeline between people from distant planets!

They take great pride in their role as record keepers, making a great deal of preserving art & history through the millenia! If you ever spot one, they'd be happy to show you all the stuff they keep! You can learn a lot from a single encounter with them!
