What insperations did you draw from these images: Have you seen these images, what haven't I drawn from this images. Life itself is made of these two images. I did draw mostly from the pickup gimmick though.
Name of this species: Meathield

This species used to pick up turtle-like creatures on their home planet to use as a shield against a local fauna that would terrorize the landscape with its toxic spit. This species feels EXTREMELY nervous when they don't have a shield, it is their safety blanket. When this species first reached space they were a nearly unknown kidnapping species that would run at high speeds in the night and grab unsuspecting victims to carry around. They have a venom that puts their met shield in a dazed state unable to escape.

Despite their creepiness, they do not kill their victims (unless utterly hungry....) and will "swap shields" within 2 days unless their current shield expires, at which point they will carry the dead body until it becomes too foul. Many of those forced into civilization are now extremely eccentric taxis. Usually, a gimmicky situation where you are personally carried to your destination. It is surprisingly popular on some planets and is held to the same high regards as limos.

The five scariest species are

What inspirations did you draw from these images: The rainbow-striped socks reminded me of gummy worms and patterned snakes, the skeletal suit made me imagine a species that could live even as a skeleton, and the staffs inspired the idea of a species that was constantly living in a fantasy.
Name of this species: Questerm

Questerms are incredibly durable beings that look like massive fanged gummy worms with arms. Their nervous systems and internal organs exist entirely inside of their skeletons, and their flesh is merely meant as a defense mechanism to protect the bones inside. This flesh is horrifically sour to scare off any predators that might try to eat the questerms as a snack. Questerm skeletons look like those of snakes with humanoid skulls.

Since their brains have to fit within a very thin space, questerms are not very bright. After questerm society evolved, questerms as a species became obsessed with role-playing games. Nowadays, questerms fully believe that they are from long lineages of mages, paladins, and barbarians, despite the fact that very few have actual psychic abilities. Questerms take odd jobs across the universe as "quests" in exchange for currency. Due to their survivability and willingness, questerms are often hired for incredibly dangerous tasks.

Milk Carton
Betelgeuse
Glass of Milk

What inspirations did you draw from these images: As an avid fan of Betelgeuse, this costume spoke to me immediately, but I had no clue what to do with it other than give a species some similar "say name three times to summon" attribute. Then, I saw the milk and everything fell into place.

PERFECTIONShow

Name of this species: Lactakers

Lactakers are rarely ever seen by the average person beyond a blurry photo of a tall dark shadow hiding in behind a building or in a forest or a mysterious week-old cheesy sludge with various unbranded milk dairy products discarded in it. Because of their mysterious nature, Lactakers have become subjects of myth and legend, with many people devoting their life to finding them and even more people selling fake merchandise of them. However, none of the interest brought any real sightings with it until someone who had been missing for roughly five years appeared stranded in a makeshift spaceship. Somehow they were in perfect health despite being lost all this time, but what was even more surprising than that was their story.

According to them, they woken up in the middle of the night five years ago and was looking for something to eat in their fridge, when they muttered "milk, milk, milk" to themselves and felt a bit woozy before a gigantic figure broke through the walls of their home and took them away, bounding off into space. When they awoke after having passed out from shock, they found themselves in a large wooden pyramid filled with all sorts of food and large tanks of milk. During those five years, Milktakers came and went to the house, supplying new food whenever the stock grew empty, leaving papery blankets whenever it became cold, pasting motivational messages on the walls, and all other sorts of gifts. After eventually overcoming the milk-induced haze clouding their mind, the person managed to escape the pyramid and fly off the mysterious world in a ship made out of various scraps of gifts they had received during their time there.

The last piece of information given by this survivor before they disappeared again the following day was a description of how these mysterious Lactakers looked. They appeared to be two gigantic yellow eyes amidst a huge mist of yellow and white milk with gnarled tree trunk limbs towering taller than most houses. Some people have attempted to replicate the scenario of the original survivor and many have disappeared completely before a few Lactakers were able to be stopped in their efforts and interviewed. From these brief interviews, Lactakers have been revealed as a motherly and caring species, although with a greater than average number of cannibals. Lactakers also appear to have weak long range psychic powers that have become somehow tuned to the "milk milk milk" phrase. While some people have dared to reach out to this mysterious species, many have never returned, and those who have are permanently scared by their experience, albeit physically as healthy as a horse.

Alright we all know what time of year it is. That's right. It's the spooky season! In celebration of spooky season I'm going to be listing the top five species that I think are the scariest. Let’s get started!

Number five. Spoopers. What could be more scary than a skeleton and a pumpkin in one package? Added in species patch three, these guys are actually pretty silly so you wouldn’t think they would be too scary, but they can give a fright to any inexperienced fortuner with their unexplained digestive system!

Number four. Slarym. These fearsome guys have a terrifying design and will aggressively gobble up anything that stands in their path with their powerful jaws. And no, commenters, I am NOT going to make a vore joke this episode or any other episode last time was just a one time thing!! Just a one time thing.

Number three. Vayarasa. With their eerie carapace design, these guys are definitely a standout. The fact that you can only view them from a distance doesn't help much either, since it leaves your mind to fill in the details. Actually... I don't know if I want to see them up close I think I'll just leave my brain to it. Good job brain.

Number two. Mandgi. What more do I have to say about these horrifying body horror-looking creatures? The first time I encountered them in the sidequest area under the Huoaaueh temple I nearly peed myself. Don't say you didn't either!

Number one. Aftik. It may seem like an unusual choice, but these guys are more fearsome than you might think. And it’s not just because my boyf— my ex... boyfriend’s avatar was ... one. I mean, these guys run... scaringly fast! And wow their claws! Are sharp! And most of all they can make you scared by reminding you that you are more alone now than you ever were...! And... oh my god Kei if you're watching this please talk to me. I'm so sorry it was just a one time thing I'm sorry I'M SORRY I'M S

What inspirations did you draw from these images: As a child I've never found something more scary than a warning. There may be many items with warnings at target, but the foam tombstone embodies this concept best of all. With its white on grey lettering, you might not even read it. I repeat, you're lucky to even see this warning, someone could glance over the tombstone and walk to their death. But you're going to walk in despite your good fortune. You're flipping the bird to your guardian angel and you should fear for your life.
The easthetic of the men's red skin suit adds to this. It leaves no room for expression, no intonation, no life, nothing. Just a vague, omnious warning. And the vageuer the warning, the scarier.

Name of this species: Wisps

Wisps are semi translucent expressionless red blotches in the shape of people. They will quietly whispser dire warnings in your ear, and then act like they never did. Usually the warning leads to nothing but chills in your spine, but very rarely the warning will come true and you die a horrible death. Sometimes the warnings are really vague, but sometimes they are ultra specific. Neither of them is more likely to result in a bad end.

What inspirations did you draw from these images:
1. The concept of wearing a protective suit
2. The concept of producing light
3. The concept of pests but also just the aesthetic of eye-stalks

Name of this species: Pud

Short: Puds are sentient puddles that wear hazmat suits to keep themselves in instead of keeping anything out. Together they live in underground lake communities that cause sink holes, but the individuals that wear their suits are relatively harmless, unless you look straight into their eyes. Their bodies are EXTREMELY bright, which is only apparent through their eye holes in the suit. For this reason they’re known as the spotlight species. Puds are, at heart, pests. They get around, sometimes showing up unannounced from the bathtub drain, and dividing themselves into multiple puddles to be in more than one place at a time.

Long:

SpoilerShow

Woah, what are those ultra bright eyes in the dark???



It’s this little guy!!! A pud! (design not finalizedTM)



mini history: Puds are a species of spelunkers. They do not have a home planet, and instead were spread by accident. While puds appear as blobby creatures in air-tight suits, inside the suits are actually blazingly bright puddles of warm, sentient liquid. The suits are required to safely transport themselves without harming their friends and falling out of shape. Before their suits, miners had found the puddles of bright liquid and put them in jars and oil lamps in order to light up their mineshafts. When the mineshafts were abandoned, they left the jars behind, and the puds started to grow.

This was super convenient for the puds, being pest animals who thrived in caves. They were able to accumulate into one giant underground lake and burrow underneath forests to cause sinkholes. They were aiming to suck up firewood, breaking down their food externally and letting it float around in their full-body stomach, but a few towns managed to get thrown into the mix. Oops!

Some puds decided to stay in these underground lake communities, while others migrated through city pipelines to start their own way of life.

mini special: Because their vital parts are all liquified and mixed together, they work on “octopus logic” (like how octopuses have neurons in each of their eight arms). Say one puddle gets separated into two puddles: both puddles will still retain the memories and personality of the initial puddle because they contain enough brain in the sum of their parts. Each puddle is then able to function on its own until they finally merge back with the other half, which will share their memories with both halves. This is a useful trick! But most puds prefer staying in one piece since there’s always a chance that you’ll never be reunited with your other half. Some puds in the universe are just a missing half that never merged, leaving them to wander through space with a whole new set of memories and experiences, essentially making them their own person over time.

FUN FACT Puds only have the power to split into 4 separate parts before they lose too much of their brain, which means you can totally prick one and use its droplet of blood as a makeshift lightbulb without worrying that you just doomed a living person to sitting in the ceiling until they evaporate or starve.

mini physical description: Here’s a look at a pud without their suit on and before losing their shape:



oh whoops, the brightness needs to be turned down….



They’re kinda like lava lamps. Some puds wear dull transparent suits so they don’t blind anybody but are still able to show people what they really look like.

mini behavior: Last but not least, puds are very observant, which is a trait they gained from living in the dark. Because they can produce their own light, slide under doors, divide their eyes, and have even developed x-ray vision, very little evades their spotlight. They retain a lot of the stereotypical pest behaviors, like not having the forethought to think deeply about others, so you could probably easily get one of these suckers to talk.

1: Skele-dog w/ Broken Neck
2: Inflatable Dapper Spookeleton
3: Metal Pumpkin

What inspirations did you draw from these images: I pretty much decided on the dog long before this even started, the broken neck was nice bit of serendipity I wanted to play with. I also ended up using the chain and liquor that were part of it's repurposed role as liquor section decoration. The inflatable(?) skeleton(?)'s outfit was given to the dog, and I ultimately used the metal pumpkin for the replacement head. Ah, also the dog howls, and it goes on for much longer it feels it should, but that's probably an effect of it being in a grocery store. I'm not sure what's supposed to set it off, but it went off as I was trying to take the head off the neck to better show its severed state for the photo...
Name of this species: Yito

Headless Bony Dapper Dogs that sound like hell itself:
Yito are a race of bony bipedial canines. Bony, in a sense both literal, and figurative as their bones are rather big and prominent even when healthy. Their muscle tissue is located either between the bones, or within them. They usually wear dark colored suits with black accents, and a bottom half that reaches the floor like a robe or dress. But the most distinguishing feature is that their heads, in lieu of being attached to their neck, are usually severed at a young age, and kept in an ethanol-filled glass container that is attached to a chain that is wrapped around where their neck. A metal gourd is placed where their head should be, for the sake of holding the chain in place.
Yito are also known for being noisy, as they like the sound of their howls reverberating within the metal gourd, and thus shall do so at the slightest provocation. This is made worse than other outspoken species, as the facet of the sound they find appealing is what most other species consider "hellish" and "frighting", and "WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT". Thus the inside of the gourds have been shaped, and altered to amplify this "terrifying" aspect. When they aren't making a "frightening din", and/or testing their body's capacity for ethanol poisoning, they usually are fright- freighting goods.(?)
