Creature creation
 
In this thread you can create your own creatures, think about one, and then post something like this:

"(species name)"
(picture of the creature)
Info: (Some information about the creature)
Life span: (How many time creature lives)
Home: (Where creature lives)
Type: (Native/wildlife/industrial/unknown)

I'll make my creature later.

Maybe it would be useful to some RPG.

Rich 12-10-2004 01:43 PM

This is a great idea, many topics like this have been sucessful. I'll try and think of something :)

Oddude_ 12-10-2004 10:45 PM

Doesn't anybody else interested?

Software Bug 12-10-2004 10:54 PM

This creature is always hanning around at Doelaz Industrial due to the idial Industrial gasses.
These animals are wildlife,
but like the industrial gasses.
They breed in the industial pipes but only 2% of the eggs survive bechause glukkons dont like it when eggs are in their pipes...
Life span: 1 1/2 year
Home: Industrial fields of Doelaz Industrial
Type: Wildlife-Industrial

odd chick 12-10-2004 10:54 PM

I think this is a really good idea. I can't think of anything at the moment, but I'll create something later!

Jaweele

Life span: 26 years
Home: Industrial factories
Type: Wildlife-Industrial

Rich 12-12-2004 03:12 AM

I made this up last night and drew it in paint this morning. See the attached picture.

Name: Snerf (could inspired by the Smurfs!)

Info: Species is Industrialised by Glukkons. They are slow to react and have weak bodies. They are distinguished by their long nose and lack of a mouth. Glukkons use them as Industrial vacuum cleaners as their nose can snuff anything. This means they have no sense of hearing due to the deafening noise they make. An interesting feature is that when they inhale, air rushes into a chamber that expands, thus they inflate like a puffer fish. As they cannot hear they communicate via sign language with their nose.

Good advice: Don’t go near them when they’ve got a cold!

Life Span: 40 years

Home: Industrial facilities

Type: Industrial

Oddude_ 12-12-2004 05:54 AM

Type: Native

Abeguy 12-14-2004 01:09 PM

I'll post mine later

odd chick 12-22-2004 03:24 PM

I have one. I just completely made it up about a week ago.

Name: Arachnoid

Picture: (sorry, but I don't have one ready at the moment.)
Info: The Arachnoid is an arachnid-type species with two front legs, the first set being used for digging and the second set used for picking out dirt/rocks, and two back legs. The first set of back legs are used for climbing/walking and the second are used for walking only. They have two huge teeth at the sides of their mouths that are shaped as fangs and are used for capturing prey. The second set of teeth (located beside of the fangs) are used for tearing food and the tiny teeth located at the front are used to grind food. The teeth in the very back are used to crunch/crush food. The Arachnoid used to be a native species, but were later used by the Glukkons to catch slaves who were attempting to escape a factory and thus became industrial.

Lifespan: 960 years

Location: In the deserts and/or factories of Oddworld.

Type: native/industrial

munchou 12-22-2004 06:09 PM

Wooo this thread is so cool !
So, I present you my character :

Name : Gamet

Info : Gamet is an Oddworldian God. Old of around 4500 years, he is one of the stewards between the good and the evil. But 600 years ago, he had to do a terrible choice. The most difficult of his life. To protect the wildlife of the mechanical invasions, he had to become a mortal. Of course, being mortal for him doesn't mean that he will only live 90 years, he remains immortal as each god, but he no longer has his powers, neither his strength.
After 550 years of full war, he was imprisoned Glukkons. They tortured him untill he became totally mad and unable to command rebels. We never saw him after this.
Is all over ? No, it's at this precise moment that...... Abe was born ! Tataaaaaaa ! :D

Lifespan : immortal

Location : unknown

Type : half-god

lol sorry for the big pic :P

And I have made it in 3ds max 7 ;)

Here is the model of it in 3D

3D View Render

Took me 5 Hours and 30 Mins 3d Modeling/Art is alot of fun thats how they make gorgeous CG movies.

:) The only thing is missing is the texture for the skin and I have photoshop 7 but I am very bad with it. If any Dear Oddworld Fan wants to pitch in and make a skin for this creature please do :) I can then animate and try all kinds of cool stuff =D I'll appricite ALOT if someone can go into photoshop and make a good Skin Texture for this Oddrek :)

By the way, if you guys have your Fantasy Created Oddworld Creature that you made and have a "good" concept art and want to see it in fully 3D send me ur concept arts by PM or by MSN gronoken@hotmail.com or AIM - Conkorg
Meybe we can all pitch in and make a Fan Oddworld Movie?

Oddish 12-27-2004 01:23 PM

Whoa, that's awsome! Your very good at 3D.

Keep up the good work;)

munchou 12-27-2004 01:53 PM

Yeah cool ! Your creature is a little to flat I think, but it's a nice beginning !
Sure a texture is missing, and a better environment too. Keep it up !
:)

PS : Thanks for the previous comments ^^

odd chick 12-30-2004 04:25 PM

I really like everyone's pictures of their creatures!! Keep up the good work everyone! :) And since I saw the model of your creature in another thread, Stranger, I'm going to say that I love your concept drawing because you already know how much I like your models! :) ;)

Rich 12-31-2004 02:53 AM

Another one!

Whee, I've made so many.

Name of species: Gangavus

Info: Hangs from trees like a vine with his long tail. Eats anything that he can. His tail can give electric shocks if he is disturbed. He's too lazy to hunt for food so he just electricutes whatever comes nearby. The Glukkons have capitalised on this by capturing them and using them as power sources.

Life span: 15 years

Type: Wildlife/ Industrial.

Location: Forests, Jungles and Glukkon power facilities.

Diet: Anything that moves.

odd chick 01-01-2005 02:03 PM

That one is really good, Rich the Intern! It's so cool that there's finally a creature on here that resembles a snake!! :)

Rich 01-01-2005 02:05 PM

Well, I made the head up first. I wanted to put it on a body with legs but the snake idea just worked out better. :)

odd chick 01-01-2005 02:20 PM

That's cool. My creature is an arachnid type creature. I have a picture of it now, but I haven't saved it to my computer yet. I need to do that so I can post a pic of it on here. :)

Biggy Bro Slig 01-02-2005 12:36 AM

Name: Prang Proglet
Name of species: Biggoo
Info: It has a slim tail, two horns, small, and vicous.
Life span: 1 week (ain't matter, there's millions!)
Type: Wildlife
Location: Spooceshrub Forest
Diet: It's vegetarian, so it eats spooceshrubs and weeds.

Dipstikk 01-02-2005 04:00 PM

Species: Noctero
(Pictures attached)
Info

Physical characteristics
The Noctero are a cliff-residing mammalian species with extrordinary sonar capabilities. Thier physiology is similar to our bats, save for their bipedal stance, large size and ability to think and reason.
Their arms have a thin yet strong membrane that makes for a good pair of wings. They have seven fingers on their hands (each of which have four metacarpals instead of three), two of which (the index and thumb) are smaller, membrane-less, and can be used freely. Their wings end at back of the hips, just above the rise of the pelvis. They have a small tail that ends in a fin for steering. Their ears also aid in steering.
Their ears are very large, so they can detect their own echolocation. Their noses are seperated in an "upside-down comma" shape. Their eyes are yellow-green, with red spots on the pupils, and double irises that adjust sepeartely as to magnify things in their view. Their eyes glow bright green at night to be able to see clearly.

Lifestyles and Rituals

The Noctero are solely carnivorous and extremely savage hunters. They're a neutral yet agressive race, only attacking another party if they must, or are forced to. They rarely attack another of their own kind, but again, they will only if they see fit.
Noctero Ancestors practiced "Fen Gana", a ritual very similar to vampirism, but a lot messier (it includes not only the consumption of blood, but also tearing apart the victim). In the last 100 years or so, this tradition has been changed to drinking a red fruit juice, because a lot of Noctero found it to be barberic and even horrifying.
Diseased meat is not a problem for the Noctero, their immune system is very advanced and can destroy almost any disease/pathogen in food or liquid. This also makes them very difficult to poison or sedate.

What they're up to now-a-days

The Noctero have recently been enslaved by a "family" of Glukkons ("Family," meaning mafia family) on another part of Mudos, as a replacement for the apparently dangerous Mudokons and to discourage the wrath of the notorious Abe. They didn't count on someone like Actra to act as Abe would.


Life Span: 80-120 years.

Home: They live in cliffside towns, their homes actually dug into the rock. These towns can go in as far as 80 feet.

Type: Native.

This is the species that Actra belongs to, by the way.
I will add more images later.

Teal 01-05-2005 01:04 PM

"Lampriles" are a species I came up with waaaaaaay back ages ago, when I was still using Angelpoo as my site host (I've changed twice since. Erf).

Basically, they're sapient (if rather stupid), froggish creatures. Used to live in a sort of symbiosis with the sligs, back in their ancestral homes, but after the Purges and the few remaining Slig tribes grew withdrawn and xenophobic, the Lampriles struck out on their own, and made a happy enough living in tribes in the high branches of forest trees, using the pools in the upper canopy to rear their young. They're hermaphroditic, although tend to behave in a "feminine" or "masculine" manner, and like snails producing children requires two individuals.

I wrote more but I want to polish it up. So yay. :)

The Gollum-esque one clambering up onto that platformy-thing seems to be in some sort of dispute with the chief, on the right, and the "female's" nose is getting in the way of "his" fingers. Grr.

WiLL the Wander 01-07-2005 08:41 AM

I have another four... well really these are one creature... The pics are not scanned yet.

Name: Speda
Type: Wildlife
Lifespan: ???
Info: At the Crystal Groves there is only one life. The Speda have 3 classes or clans.
The Genesis is the "normal" species, fast and deadly. The Fighter is more bigger and stronger than the genesis clan members. The Spooce Spedas are weak, but these can use Spooce. The three clans guard three different zones of the Crystal Groves. Mudokons said these are the guardian of the spooce. But really, these creatures are only puppets... the only life in this region is the Speda Queen, or The Mastermind. This very intelligent creature creates these puppets to guard the spooce crystals, and the Source Crystal.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v513/ghotoman/g.jpg


name:Ichava
lifespan:50-70 years
type: Native and Industrial
Info: amphibious creatures that originated in the sea west of Mudos and split into two sects: Industrial and Native
Buisness was slow since they really couldn't go above water that long so they made genetically engineered clones that could live above and below water. Well, It was a success. buissness boomed and with the Industrial's weopons, they also got less attacks from sea rexes and other dangerous water life. But some industrial Ichava were captured by the Glukkons and were used as agents to do their dirty work. Most of the industrial Ichava now are clones made by the Vykkers but the Industrials Ichava made by the native Ichava are more natural looking so you can tell the difference if its a good or bad Industrial Ichava.

Kimon 01-23-2005 12:42 PM

Name: Greez
Info: Gorilla-ish in nature, walks on hands, three-fingered
Life span: 40 years
Home: Mountains
Type: Native

Sorry I don't have a pic, they're all unfinished. Gorilla heads are hard to draw. :(

Sweet creature, Teal. Looks like it belongs in Oddworld.

Abeguy 02-03-2005 07:25 PM

sound cool:D
