Possable other inhabitants?
 
Okay, since I'm doing the comic (that no one seems to care about anymore) I have created three new races. This post is to find out if you guys have ever done the same. (Created new creatures, I meam.)

If so, post them here in a clear, concise manner, like the following.

(These are mine)

-Noctero: (Nok-TER-oh) This is the main species focused on in the comic. Noctero are shorthaired batlike creatures. They stand upright on well-developed legs, and their feet have apposable "Thumb-toe-things" so they can grab a branch if the're landing or something. Their armsare formed like a bat's wings, with the last three fingers extending out and back, and the index and thumb left free to use as a hand. Noctero have regular-sized heads with huge eye sockets to catch echos easier whist catching a mid-flight munchie (The skin and fur around the socket is usually colored differently then the other fur). The Noctero live in a regular birthing system (No sole queen, though some may elect a leader) and can be either male or female. The main character is in fact a female, named Actra. (I wanted to pioneer the thought of the first female character, so in lies my method) Noctero are not actually nocturnal, as the name suggests, but diurnal.

-Tapewoims: (Tape-WOYMS) Not truely worms, but actually 60-foot long, centepede like reptiles. The width of their body is about three-to-four feet thick, so these creatures are anything if not monsterous. They were hired as hallway moniters when Rupture Farms was rebuilt. They have huge heads and teeth like a snake, but the rotating teeth imbedded in their throat actually chew the food, as the jaw is strong but the teeth are thin and weak.

-Clobbster: (KLOBB-ster) Like a stone crab times ten. These were made by Vykker's Labs when the Glukkons wanted a totally origional creature to guard their factories. These 800-pound brutes grow up to ten feet tall, and with four claws with slicing power like a razor, these guys'll give you a run for yer Moolah!


Now feel free to post your inhabitants up. Let's see what you guys are made of.

peace.:smokin:

Well, I did think up two creatures for Oddworld. I haven't thought up a name yet... As you can see, the image quality isn't that good since I took it with a digital camera. The original is a lot better. If only I had a scanner...

Anyway, here's my first concept. I've made the image smaller to make it more focused.

EDIT: I've got better images.

Canned Gabbiar 01-16-2003 08:16 AM

And here is number two... same story as with the first one.

Dipstikk 01-16-2003 09:24 AM

Not bad, not bad!
 
I can see you have an eye for design. Good job!:fuzgrin:

What are their names?

Canned Gabbiar 01-16-2003 10:02 AM

Names
 
Well, after some thought I've come up with names. The names come in the same order as the images.

Saurog (SAW-ROG):
Appears to be a cross between a dinosaur and frog, the saurog is a vicious, though solitary predator, feeding on most other animals, including scrabs and paramites. It is the land equivalent of the sea rex, growing p to 10 metres long. It's jaws are up to 1.5 metres in diameter. Although it lacks arms, it's hind legs can carry this creature over great distances. The claws on it's foot are 30 centimetres long when fully grown.

Cleel (KLEEL:
A large, fast-swimming serpent that inhabits the freshwater rivers and lakes of Mudos. As it matures, it will develop a bony casing on it's head that resembles a clam. The cleel is fiercely defensive of it's young. It will carry it's young(cleelings) in it's mouth, protected by the bony casing until they mature. It is capable of producing short bursts of high voltage electricity to stun or kill prey or for defense. It grows up to 5 metres in lenth.

Hey I got an idea. The quality's a little fuzzy , but this may stir you imajination a little.

Dipstikk 01-18-2003 12:18 AM

Okay....

So, what's this fuzzy, imagination-stirring idea of yours?

Sounds painful to me.

Gulchi Bio-Thing

I made a species named the Gulchies. Right now I've got a basic outline, but I am working on making him fit into Oddworld a bit more...

Have fun!

Bringin' her back up
 
Okay...
This topic has remained untouched for too long! I will raise it higher to the top, but I still feel left out from the lack of responses! Come on, People!:fuzwink:

Canned Gabbiar 01-28-2003 01:25 AM

You think you've got problems? Look at my fan art and poetry threads... I put some new ones in there but nobody seems to care anymore. :crying:

Dipstikk 01-28-2003 09:29 AM

Well, that just ain't right! I love your artwork!

Darkest 01-28-2003 12:06 PM

I know! Let's start a Writers/Artists Group, and we'll all review eachother's stories and write our own!

Check out the Tak'la when we post it up, Abe's Son and I have been working very hard on it.
