        Awesome. Understand that I try to keep my descriptions vague to avoid bias in design. I am looking for anything and everything you might think of that might live in the environments described.

        Thank you so much!

              Attempting to brainstorm. I might see if I can submit something... but chances are it'll be more or less trash since I'm unoriginal as hell. :_____:

              ... and I can't draw.

                Did some. Mostly small creatures because it's harder to grow in a cave environment (lack of light and everything).

                Creature 1



                Bottom view :



                Name : Araecerus antrum

                Colours : Grey-ish brown

                Size : 10 cm (length), 4 cm (width), 2 cm (height)

                Has a solid skull, ovoid, with an appendage that enables it to detect the presence of prey and attack them by injecting poison. His head is round and it has two small dots which are the remains of his ancestor, the Araecerus palum. It is, therefore, completely blind. It moves itself with eight pairs of legs and can move easily in aqueous places. It is vulnerable when attacked from below and retracts its head when wounded.

                Creature 2



                Name : Darlingtonia dolosa

                Colours : white and purple-red (appendages)

                Size : 25 cm (height), 4 cm (diameter of trunk), 10 cm (average width of "roots")

                Carnivorous plant that can grow on moss. Has a particular technique of predation : it waits for its prey to take shelter near his roots, then attack when its prey goes too far away. It attacks with its upper appendages that reacts at a speed exceeding the speed of sound producing a supersonic bang that stun his victim. It cannot move. Has roots which allows him to better hold itself by injecting an adhesive substance.

                Creature 3



                Top view :



                Name : Gradungulidae bellus

                Colours : black

                Size : 5 cm (length), 2 cm (width), 3 cm (height), 10 cm (length of legs)

                Looks like a spider but has only 4 legs. If it loses one, it moves slower, if it loses another, it becomes immobile. With its powerful legs, it can jump over 15 meters high. It cannot climb slopes greater than 10 degrees, so that's the reason he relies on jumping as a second transportation method.
                (makes also the 'dat ass' face all the time)

                Creature 4

                Left (before activation), right (after activation) :



                Name : Paulo borrire explosivae

                Colours : ivory white (before activation), transparent (after activation)

                Size : 3 cm (diameter)

                "Bubbles" that have the ability to change appearance when they feel approached. At first, they are completely opaque and ivory white. When near a predator, they active an mechanism that gives their skin a complete transparency and their internal organs moves in some kind of plasma at every direction inside the bubble. They also emit different colours and the predator becomes often confused. When they feel a presence for a long period of time, they explode by projecting their internal organs in all directions. They often move in colonies of three to four individuals, so they can create chain reactions.

                  Re: Zag's Creature Creation Request!

                  Is it supposed to be horror, realistic sci-fi, wacky cartoonish or just what kind of mood is the game supposed to have?

                    "Realistic" but stray from anything you would recognize as something that already exists. noname's stuff is definitely along the correct lines.

                    It's a scifi, but it takes place on a mostly science-less world.

                    Thank you nonames, these are looking great!

                              Name: N/A (Zagershrew?)

                              Color(s):
                              Epidermis: Champagne #F3E5AB
                              Pelt: Taupe #674C47

                              Size:
                              40-60cm length, 30-35cm width, 30~cm height (50cm ears extended)

                              A subterranean creature blinded by centuries without sun exposure[5]. It has an acute sense of smell which can detect predators from up to a kilometer away[3].
                              Though physically weak and it is an excellent digger and can burrow 100's of meters into the earth in mere seconds if endangered. Since this creature lives most of it's life in it's own constructed tunnel networks it will never surface unless frightened by seismic activity. It's tail emits an extremely high frequency which is used as a sonar to navigate it's complex of tunnels and to disorientate predators[2]. Each frequency made by one of these creatures is completely unique and only comprehensible by the creature emitting it due to their highly developed hornlike ears[1], making it undetectable by others of its kind.
                              Though having no mouth it will passively feed while digging by use of the pouches located on its stomach[6], collecting minerals and other nutrients in the earth(uh planet?).
                              [4] - just the pelt, I'm out of creativity for the day.

                              Probably the least artistic/creative person you'll meet, but this thread seemed interesting so I decided to at least try.
                              Also, I don't have a scanner and image hosting sites refuse to load for me with my current internet speed, so I'll just post it as poorly photographed attachments for now.

                                I have some pretty good thoughts about some creatures. The problem is if I can get my concepts to come out right on paper since I suck at drawing.
