the compane i think
lineup of every (at least somewhat) biological entity (aside from earth leviathan) in lethal company!!!
again, non-VHS version under cut with some wacko headcanons and allat!
WOOHOO!!!!!!! so here are my extra headcanons and other minor changes because i am allowed to ramble about my art if i want to👍👍 (Those without any HC dumps here are pretty much as they are already, nothing to talk about them!)
Tiny bugs: the locust, bee and wasp are made to faintly resemble their real life counterparts aside from the reused fly model as in the game.
Manticoil: i will get either praised or executed for this but i made the extra wings.... leg wings. like a microraptor. but it does come with a reason, yes! it is practically impossible to evolve a new pair of limbs, it's either remove or change existing parts when it comes to evolution, and the manticoils are just evolved corvids in canon!
Hoarding bug: made to resemble hymenoptera more, as they are - again - canonically in this order of real life animal :]
Spore lizard: back scutes and more toes added to, you guessed it; resemble their earth relatives (in this case alligators) more.
Bunker spider: spider pitter patter feet :D
Thumper: more earth-relative (chondrichthyes) resemblance, especially the mouth is more shark-like.
Baboon hawk: earth thing again and also made the 'wings' the brightest, since i believe they pose no other purpose than social display.
Bracken: i've been WAITING to talk about my brackens' symmetrical, two-thumbed hands. PERFECT (i think?) for grabbing a victim's head to do a little snappin'. also the claws are just on the hands to really make sure they have a firm grip, and not on the padded, almost mitten-like feet for silent sneaking! (even though they are usually quadrupedal)
Eyeless dog: okay fellas but... that's no actual mammal (as we know) i think. the in-game head shape is too ridiculous to have evolved from anything and the class saeptivus doesn't even exist! what i think is a re-evolving of mammals at play, say.. synapsida 2.0 perhaps. so i took creative liberties and made the dog a taaaad bit more fish-like with a line of sensory pits on their sides kinda like a fish's lateral line. suits the blind critter :]
Nutcracker: some little paint job changes and added some hinge doohickeys to accentuate the mechanical properties of the nutcracker itself that the meaty-eye-hermit-thing is operating.
Jester: i am simply here to say that i would like to bite a chunk off of the jester's meat gluppo.
Forest keeper: ok so there is the cool octopus-style beak yeah and i gave it tiiiiny little silly pinky-thumbs as they're probably canonically related to the brackens but MY GOD!!!!!!! I HATED COLOURING THAT THING!!! what colour is it even if I HAD TO FNAF 3 BLAST IT. that's how you know that i didn't like doing it sorry giant enjoyers i didn't enjoy colouring large jonathan (my fan name for them) :[

I’m trying to document as much of Sqwishland “history” (???) as I can by finding photos of them. I loved these things as a kid and the thought of other people remembering them too makes me happy : )
Sources: 1/2/3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7 - 8
Image ID under cut its long lol
(Image ID: Eight photos of Sqwishland squishy animal vending machine toys on backing cards.
1) A lion, a penguin, an elephant, a pig, and a cow squishy on a backing card that says “Zoo Mania.”
2) A lobster, a clam, a seal, a crab, and a puffer fish on a backing card that says “sea mania 2”
3) A koala, a panda, a lion, a hippo, and a panda on a backing card that says “jungle mania.
4) A goat, an otter, an alligator, a sheep, and a snake squishy on a backing card that says “squishland swamp.”
5) A toad, a lizard, a turtle, an otter, a chameleon, a snake, a platypus, and a possum on a backing card that says “Squishland giant swamp”
6) A clownfish, an octopus, a dolphin, a sea horse, and an orca on a backing card with text that says “sea mania giant.”
7) A penguin, a snow fox, a polar bear, a moose, and a narwhal on a backing card that says “Squishland polar collection.)
8) Four Sqwishland backing cards. 1. “Forest” with a Fox, a beaver, a rabbit, a raccoon, and a deer. 2. “Jungle: glow in the dark.” with a parrot, a monkey, a panda, a koala, and an elephant. 3. “Jungle: glow in the dark” again with an elephant, a cow, a panda, a horse, a hippo, a monkey, a koala, and a lion. 4. “Farm” with a pig, a bull, a rooster, a cow, and a sheep.
