forest keeper subspecies:

Rooted: (due to not being able to emerge fully from the ground it instead evolved to be completely stationary, forgoing its legs to instead have a set of long, muscular spring loaded arms. It has also grown tree bark like skin and leaf branch like growths to blend in with the dense forests it frequents. Only spawns on jungle moons

The howling: (this variant is only slightly larger than the average scavenger and walking on all 4 limbs, having evolved 2 large air sacs on its back it emits a horrible and extremely sound howl when in the presence of a scavenger. Subduing its prey and allowing it to safely drag it away to be consumed.)

snare flea subspecies:

Vent flea: (an extremely long variant of snare flea that uses vents as locomotion due to the risks of being out in the open with such a large body. It instead evolved similarly to a common earth “bobbit worm” nipping at your legs causing injury and slowing when you walk by an affected vent.)

eyeless dog subspecies:

Eyeless puppy: (though technically not a subspecies, this juvenile of the eyeless dog species still has somewhat functioning eyesight that degrades as it ages. Will alert other dogs to your presence if detected.)

thumper subspecies:

Hammerhead thumper: (a much more aggressive species evolved from a overpopulation of scavengers over a period of time. main difference is the hammerhead. It will charge forward killing anyone in its path before stopping when it hits a wall.)

mimic/masked subspecies:

Elder masked: (a truly malevolent presence in the fog of rend, this entity is beyond rare and not well studied. Though unofficial reports of them having been getting more and more common. They also appear to have a scientifically unexplained ability to turn completely invisible, when they are reflected in a mirror the effect is nullified.)

#

still a work in progress so I am open to suggestions and changes!

#

had a similar one. feel free to take some of my ideas. theres not much in here

#

but theres a few im proud of

unreal kayak
#

I figured someone probably got to this idea before me at some point

#

I like the pit behemoth

unreal kayak
#

I just draw

umbral torrent
#

not a bad thing though, just means we on the same wavelength 🔥

unreal kayak
#

I agree

#

What’s your thread called?

umbral torrent
#

#1212451384021221457

#

its dis one

unreal kayak
#

Wow those are some neat designs

umbral torrent
#

thank you! your concepts and the bushling design are also boss <3

unreal kayak
#

Thanks!

umbral torrent
#

the vent flea's honestly the one i like the most; i woulda NEVER thought of making anything related to the vents

#

gangster shit

solemn matrix
#

VENTS NEED MORE LOVE,

#

Oh idea

#

monster

#

that can only spawn

#

in the mist of broken valves

unreal kayak
#

That’s a pretty cool idea

#

I was thinking I might incorporate something like that for a masked subspecies

rustic cargo
#

Um

#

its the subspecies uprising bro 💀

umbral torrent
#

so like, a gas that dissolves thing

#

umbral torrent
#

my inspiration

rustic cargo
#

Also the first giant idea was either literally taken from my thread or same idea somehow very close timeline lol (not that I'm saying it's bad to take the idea, it's good maybe someone else can implement it)

rustic cargo
#

No I literally had that idea almost word for word a couple days ago 💀

solemn matrix
#

wait what

umbral torrent
#

oop

rustic cargo
#

I'm not implementing it to be clear, so I'm glad he has it up

solemn matrix
#

wait link that

rustic cargo
#

I'm just stating its a weird coincidence

rustic cargo
# solemn matrix wait link that

I'm 90% sure it was a conversation in my thread because I definitely thought about it, but in the scenario I didn't type it out, I'll just let it be an idea here peacefully lol

rustic cargo
umbral torrent
#

oh i guess i havent been reading your thread enough lmao

rustic cargo
#

It was probably with a conversation with @tropic mango

#

She likes roaming my thread >:C

umbral torrent
#

#1208964227835109407

#

Prototype almost ready to receive

unreal kayak
#

Oh yeah I’ve seen your thread.

#

That’s pretty cool

#

I’d love too see that as a mod at some point

solemn matrix
unreal kayak
#

Yeah I’m definitely downloading that

rustic cargo
#

:3

unreal kayak
#

Just now I finished a concept art for the forest bracken

#

I also put a guy there for scale

rustic cargo
#

That's sick

tropic mango
#

Harder to be sneaky outside

#

I imagine they would work like coilheads from a distance but once you're within a certain range they shift to more Brackeny behavior where they don't wanna be stared at

#

But if you spot one way far away they'll just not move so they blend in better

unreal kayak
#

I’m drawing the elder mimic next. Shouldn’t take as long I hope

#

I’m also gonna edit the description because I came up with something better

unreal kayak
rustic cargo
#

You making 2d or 3d?

#

I'm probably down to pick up 2d reference and make em a mod after I'm done with mine

unreal kayak

#

I hope you find someone soon then, it'll def be a while before I have the time to pick this up lol, if you can make the 3d models and rig em tho, #1210315682613436446 would be good for you

unreal kayak
#

I never saw that channel

#

I’ll definitely look into it

unreal kayak
#

Rooted is done

#

Vent flea quick sketch

solemn matrix
#

gib me cookie

#

cookie, or become friend with blooky

#

(undertale refrence, i think, only thing that had to do with death i could find that rhymes with cookie)

umbral torrent
#

SO GOOD

Rooted stew

Be careful it screams

#

I would love a Lethal Company Cookbook from like, an in-universe employee who decided they were a lil hungy

YIPPEE

#

Normal, morgue, and queen bugs in order

unreal kayak
umbral torrent
#

would be cool if they were sensitive to light or smth

#

since they have a different way of attacking to snare fleas they could also have their own weaknesses

unreal kayak
#

I was thinking they could be triggered early by light from a flashlight or flashbang but when they are out and latched on to a scavengers leg they can be hit and killed

#

Or just out because of the light

tropic mango
#

I mean I figure if it latches to you it gnaws on your ankle dealing damage and not letting go while also slowing you down

#

But you can jump over its hidey hole

umbral torrent
#

oo true, you could jump over them

#

would there be a way of telling when a vent flea is camping a vent?

#

like, maybe a slightly loose vent or just it peeking its mandibles out of it

tropic mango
#

I think you'd just see it

#

Like just look down, decently obvious if you're aware

#

Much like with the regular flea, you miss it specifically when you're focused on more active threats

# unreal kayak

This was actually my sketch for how you would know it’s there in game

#

The design wasn’t finished yet though

umbral torrent
#

ye!! thats exactly what i was thinking

#

so cool

tropic mango
#

Mhm I saw that sketch and just took it at face value

vital pivot
#

Will this be released

unreal kayak
#

I’m asking around some people I know to help get a model for the bushling

#

Since the bushling one of my favorite designs I thought I’d do it first

tropic mango
#

Toddler kickin' time

unreal kayak
#

Made the elder mimic a tiny bit less symmetrical.

#

Also gonna be deleting WIP drawings when I add finished drawings to avoid redundancy

#

So here’s the finished 3d reference drawing and the quick sketch again

#

I’m still new to the 3d reference drawings (side profiles especially) so I definitely accept and appreciate feedback!

#

Bushling behavior concept

#

Something that I forgot to add was that they take your stuff if they kill you

unreal kayak
#

Mimic hunting item!

#

Buyable in shop

unreal kayak
#

More mimic related items!

#

Bunker tarantula quick sketch.

#

Honestly I’m kind of at a loss with this one..

#

I feel like the concept is too simple to generate a unique design

tropic mango
#

I think the current bunker spider is already like, pretty tarantula-coded

#

What you need is like a black widow

#

Bunker widow

#

Very poisonous

#

Freaky thin legs

#

Sneakier because it's darker

unreal kayak
#

That’s a good idea

unreal kayak
#

Made a new subspecies for bunker spiders and removed the bunker tarantula. In its place is “the bunker tyrant”

#

Quick sketch for reference to its appearance

umbral torrent
#

love how lanky and freaky it looks

unreal kayak
#

thanks!

unreal kayak
#

I made this lil guy that I imagined was (very) distantly related to the bushling

#

I posted it because I thought it was cool, but it stretches the relation boundary a bit too much in my opinion to be apart of the main project

#

So maybe as a side thing it could work?

tropic mango
#

is it like, sediment layers?

unreal kayak
#

yeah. In my headcannon bushlings and forest brackens are born like potatos and pop out of the ground when matured. but I thought that a rocky version would kind of just pop out of stone

#

thats my interpretation of what that would look like

tropic mango
#

Ah, I just figured they were like stickbugs

unreal kayak
#

Hm that’s a pretty good one too!

#

I actually had to look that one up

unreal kayak
#

Another lil rock guy

umbral torrent
#

nice little guy!!

#

you should post these to #artwork

unreal kayak
#

I was thinking I might add some less interactive fauna just to make the ecosystem of specific planets feel more full and alive
