Good lord this one came out disorganized as all hell... So much uneven space...

Anyways, back to a multiple of three, as all these comps should be. This time around we have eleven creatures, with one fakemon, two Pterraforming, four Lucid, one Wings, and one fan art.

For those who haven't been following the series, the Creature Comps are a group of penned creatures either from my main projects (Galena Fakedex, Pterraforming, Lucid, a Terraria thing, and Wings) or fan art of other people's creatures from their own projects. Think of it as a sample tray for my/other's projects. It should be noted that, unless an "official" version of a creature is posted before the comp itself, all the designs in the comps aren't set in stone and may be different in their final version.

So with that said, let's get right to it!

F = Fakemon, P = Pterraforming, L = Lucid, R = Requests or fan art (Mostly fan art, F was already taken), T = Terraria, W = Wings

1: [Lucid] Dime Cat, a rare monster found in Tier 1 of Lucid. In Lucid, there are two main types of hostile non-boss entities, both affecting the player in very different ways. The first are the monsters, which will [typically] actively attack the player and cause direct physical harm, although some indirect effects will also occur. The other, far less common type are called "fear objects", which are typically stationary objects that cause environmental effects to the player, such as raising stress and fear, increasing monster hostility, or even forcing the player awake. In Dime Cat's case, it actually has the characteristics of both, one of the few hostile entities to do so. While technically a monster, Dime Cat is stationary, always appearing in the same manner in the same area. Dime cat's first appearance is fairly scripted, appearing towards the end of a dream in early Tier 1 outside of the sliding glass door of the starter house deck. Their appearance is triggered by the player approaching the sliding glass door in the dark while the player's stress is high. Once activated, the player will be forced to look at Dime Cat sitting on the opposite side of the glass, which will ask the player "Did you give that kitty cat dimes?". Of course this seems like nonsense, but later in the game will have significance. Like a fear object, Dime Cat spikes the player's fear, stress, and heart rate, and during the first encounter will always force the player awake. Appearance wise, Dime Cat actually possesses the body of one of the player's cat, Mama Kitty, and the head of a green alien. The head only becomes apparent after the player becomes forced to look at them more closely, mimicking the Whiscandal and Chowmoochows' resemblance to the player's dogs on first glance.

2: [Pterraforming] The scoopbill, feeding on a barrel cactus. An extremely unusual member of the new world pterasimian group, scoopbills are adapted to living in the harsh Mohave desert of Pterrearthian North America. Their most striking feature, the upturned bill, is adapted both for scraping and for digging, which the scoopbill uses to either unearth food underground or to slice chunks off of cacti for moisture. Scoopbills seem to be able to process the high tannin levels of cacti, meaning they can extract fluid from them with impunity. The long, slender toes of the scoopbill also allow them to grasp thorny and spiny plants, which allows them to roost in relative safety during the day. Interestingly scoopbills are covered in blotches of green pycnofibrils, which with their brown base helps them blend into the cacti and brush they sleep in. The color is derived from a pigment, turacoverdin, which is normally only found in the African turacos. This makes the scoopbill the only other known dinosauromorph to posses a true green pigment in their plumage. Like many species of pterasimian, scoopbills live in mated pairs, raising flaplings each year with the coming of the wet season when resources are abundant.

3: [Wings] A female batcat, a highly derived winged felid descended from polydactyl house cats. Possessing the extra digits on the forepaws of their polydactyl ancestors, the batcat is unique amongst tetrapod fliers by breaking the usual five digit rule. The digits are divided between the "paw" digits (with four toes), and the "wing" digits (with four fingers). The batcats extra digits are a result of the digits being mirrored on each side, a form of "double/mirror foot" polydactyly. While the batcat is able to move on the ground, the length discrepancy between the arms and back legs makes their gait somewhat awkward, so they aren't as stealthy or graceful on the ground as their non-flying relatives. Instead they mostly hunt on the wing, using their keen eyesight, smell, and hearing to search for prey. The back paws are equipped with a pair of hooked, maniraptor like claws, which they will use to both gut prey and to fight off attackers. Batcats also have the ability to echolocate to a degree, using a modified form of purring to produce sound waves.

4: [Lucid] A windmaker fan, a tiny living object entity found in Tier 3. In rare instances of Lucid, the game can be truly beautiful and magical, giving the player brief moments of calm that can be especially hard to come by in the third tier of the game. In Tier 3, one such instance takes place in a specific area at night, with windswept fields of flowers and tall grasses sparkling with little yellow lights hiding within them. This is the habitat of the windmaker fan, which form colonies that create wind that blows the grasses that hide them. Windmaker fans are peaceful entities, each equipped with a little yellow light on their "head" that glows while their little blades spin. If the player shows kindness to the fans, they can be commanded by the player to both light up areas and to provide wind for them to take off. If attacked, the fans will flee, the whole group rising into the air like dandelion seeds blown in the wind. windmaker fans are capable of flying indefinitely, and will fly as a group to new areas if disturbed or while looking for still patches of grass. While the fans are common in this specific area, the area itself is fairly rare, occurring only during specific dream scenarios.

5: [Fakedex] The Grass type bulb fakemon Sprouticot (formerly Dandylump), based off of the bulb of an iris (formerly based off of a dandelion with a bulb). Sprouticots are relatives of the Oddish line, both being bulb like and monocots, although Sprouticot lacks the pungent odor of Oddish. This Pokemon is most commonly found in marshy areas and meadows, burying itself during the day and uprooting itself at night to wander. While not a Poison type, Sprouticots are highly toxic, and most other Pokemon go out of their way to avoid eating them. Hoplus are immune to the toxins, however, and will attempt to eat Sprouticot while they sleep. While the flower growing on their heads are immature, they release a wonderful smelling perfume, and, in combination with the fact they evolve into a form with a full iris, are popular amongst florists and gardeners. They are even sometimes kept to help keep away certain pest Pokemon, who are naturally repelled by their presence.
Due to the fact this fakemon was originally conceived in a dream, they may also make a cameo in Lucid as a passive entity.

6: [Fan Art] HewyToonmore 's rendition of Scylla for his Mythology series. I honestly can't say much about this one, since I don't know much about Scylla, but apparently the body in this particular iteration is that of a mosasaurus, the hair is that of jellyfish tentacles, the eyes that of a whale, and the extra heads that of leopard seals. The armor was also apparently based off of the anime Bleach, although again I don't know anything about it so I can't say from what character or part. Something that wasn't included here was her ability to split her lower mandible, which I excluded due to the fact she is only just beginning to open her mouth in this and is not in full "yell" mode.

7: [Pterraforming] The king drayix, lord of the frozen north and largest land predator of Pterearth. The king drayix is a member of the clade Regemitaurosauria, or bull-rexes, possessing both crawdad-like claws and large horns above the eyes. King drayix also posses three spurs on the jaw, a bony ridge behind the eye, and a massive mandible with feathers that make it seem even larger, giving them quite an intimidating profile. Indeed, this is what the strange features are believed to be used for, making the head and jaws seem as impressive as possible both from a distance and up close, letting rival drayixes know not to mess with them. Both sexes are identical, save for the male being slightly larger, the female's head being just as adorned as that of the male. Drayixes mate for life, both the male and the female hunting together to help bring down prey. The horns are not used for this purpose, instead the drayixes relying on their massive jaws and serrated teeth. While bull-rexes are related to the famous Tyrranosaurus rex of old, they are not descended from them, actually having originated in Eurasia from a small pack hunting tyrranosaurid and crossing over to North America in the past.

8: [Lucid] A COMPLETELY NORMAL BABY ROOSTER, TOTALLY ACCURATE, ABSOLUTELY WHAT A BABY ROOSTER IS SUPPOSED TO LOOK LIKE. TOTALLY NOT WHAT MY DUMB ASLEEP BRAIN THINKS BABY ROOSTERS LOOK LIKE, AND TOTALLY WILL NOT BE FOUND IN TIER 3 LUCID ON FARMS. NUH UH. DEFINITELY NOT. I'M NOT YELLING YOU'RE YELLING.

9: [Lucid] White dracobird, a large species of bird mutant that can be found in the Mutant forest starting at Tier 2. The mutant forest is a rare area that can be found in Tier 2, possessing a perpetual fog and many strange creatures, all of which are dubbed "mutants". Unlike monsters, which are always hostile, mutants are neutral by default, but will attack if the player gets too close or if the player attacks first. Mutants also seem to be separate from creatures of ROT, and don't have the same warped, necrotic appearance. White dracobirds are one of the larger mutants the player can encounter, being the largest non-boss avain mutant. They mostly nest on rocky cliffs or caves, mated pairs taking turns to raise their young. Being perpetually late fall/early winter in the mutant forest, the white bodies of the dracobirds can be hard to spot, which, paired with the mist of the forest, makes accidentally stumbling on a dracobird an easy thing to do. White dracobirds posses mild ice elemental powers, able to freeze the surrounding area and create flurries of snow with their wings. They can also breath icy powdered snow attacks from their beaks, and will peck and grab at the player with their talons. When not aggroed, the male will fly around the pair's territory, marking the border with snow and ice and chasing off rivals. They are carnivores, and will catch and eat other, smaller mutants.

So which are your favorites? I'd love to hear! Let me know in the comments and maybe why you like them (or not, ya'll don't have to do anything if you don't want to).
