Wow, three deviations over the course of three days, that's gotta be some kind of record for me! Anyways, last of the Creature comps for now, this time with nine creature; 1 fakemon, 1 fan art, 3 Lucid, and 4 pterraforming creatures!

Creatures are numbered and labeled with a letter designating which project they are from.
F = Fakemon, P = Pterraforming, L = Lucid, R = Requests or fan art (Mostly fan art, F was already taken)

1: [Fakemon] Redraw of my old Ferros fire starter Steece. Since I drew/redesigned Bunnire, I thought Steece might be fun too. Truthfully I forgot to add the helmet, it wasn't a deliberate choice, but, I kinda like it so I might keep it. You can read more about Steece here [Although the data there is outdated].

2: [Pterraforming] The Michigan riverraptor, a species of aquatic raptor native to the great lake basin of North America. Covered in soft waterproof feathers and lacking the hollow bones of other raptors, Michigan riverraptors live most of their lives in the deep waters of the Great Lakes and dive great depths in search of food. Because the lakes have been fairly unaffected by invasive species like that of human dominated Earths, The population of Great Lakes fishes that the riverraptor feed on have remained stable, allowing the species to continue strong. Because the legs are so far back on a riverraptor, riverraptors are forced quadrupeds on land, one of the few instances of quadrupedal theropods. This makes them extremely clumsy on land, and because of this riverraptor only come on land to make nests and lay eggs.

3: [Request] Fanart of Rexander134 's ankylosaurus fossil Fakemon Ankylosmash. I didn't change much this time around, aside from making it look a little bit more bulky and straightening out the horns. You can find more information on Ankylosmash here .

4: [Lucid] Tier 2 boss, the Terror Turkey from Outer Spaaaaaace!!!! Also sorry for the Lucid boss spam, most of the monsters have already been drawns so the bosses were the ones that were left...So yeah it's like a big scary alien bird monster. Funnily the drawing I based this image on was at one point one of my proudest drawings. I might have to scan it in so yall can cringe with me at my old ass drawing ability. anyways, this would be a boss encountered early middle game, aka tier 2. Lucid would have 3 tiers in the main storyline, with tier 1 taking place in early childhood, tier 2 taking place mid-childhood to early teen years, and tier 3 taking place mid to late teens to adulthood. Like most Lucid bosses, the TTfOS can be allied with during or after the initial fight.

5: [Pterraforming] A male fluttering fruitplucker, a species of frugivorous hummerdon. Because bats do not exist on Pterearth, other species have come to take up the many niches that they fill in mammalian Earths, with fruitpluckers taking the roles of fruitbats. The unusual upturned beak helps them pluck fruits straight from their branches, which they flit too and fro on their hummingbird esque wings. Figs are their preferred fruit of choice, and flocks of them will fiercely defend fruiting trees from other animals and rival groups. Like fruit eating bats, fruitpluckers are an important part of dispersing and planting trees, spreading seeds both from loosing hidden caches of stored fruits, and from passing undigested seeds in their guano. While fruitpluckers mostly get about by hovering, they are also able to climb and clamber around.

6: [Lucid] Tier 1 boss/supermonster the Pteradon, a massive monster pterosaur the player can encounter. Funnily Pteradons were originally based on a severe misunderstanding I had about Pteranodon; I probably have a little bit of dyslexia, because when I was little, I thought Pteranodons were actually "Pteradons", so when I heard tah-RAHN-OH-dohn for the first time, I thought it must have been like some kind of super "pteradon", and so I made a species of monster pterosaurs based on that. Of course they were incredibly overpowered, with indestructible scale and claws, razor sharp wing, humongous size, etc, as many of my early childhood monsters were. Obviously they wouldn't be that overpowered in the game, although they'll still be tough. Unlike many other bosses, Pteradons are a species, not a single character.

7: [Lucid] Tier 1 ally the Wish Dragon. This guy was based on a weird dream I had eons ago where basically this weird magical dragon that looked like a mash between the Genie from Aladdin and Eliot from Pete's Dragon came to my house and started causing shenanigans. so yes, he does look a lot like Elliot, but this was based solely on the surviving drawing I had of this guy. In game, while you can be antagonistic to WD if you want, he can't be aggroed like an actual boss. I should mention that "bosses", while are usually battled, can actually become allied to the player, unlike monsters who are usually always hostile (save for some very specific in game plots). WD himself can use magic to both aid the player if they request it, or cause a lot of problems unintentionally due to a somewhat naive nature.

8: [Pterraforming] The kangaraptor, a small post-Scansoriopterygid native to North America. Unusual for a theropod, kangaraptors are plantigrade, and move about by hopping akin to a kangaroo or jerboa. Long tails with a tuft on the tip help them steer while jumping, making them extremely maneuverable. Kangaraptors are omnivores, and will feed on a variety of items such as seeds, nuts, insects, shoots, roots, and so on. Native to the eastern temperate forests, kangaraptors mostly come out at night to forage. If danger is sense, alerted kangaraptors will quickly stamp with both feet to alert others around them, then quickly bolt to try and escape. They mostly rely on their speed and agility to evade predators, skipping and twisting midair to tire out and confuse their attackers.

9: [Pterraforming] The greater pteramole, a type of moledont native to the West Coast of North America. Related to the seadons, pteramoles take to a much more terrestrial lifestyle, digging burrows deep underground in search of food. While pteramoles are flightless like their cousins the seadonts, they retain their cousin's ability to swim, and will often build the entrances of their burrow in or near water. With massive claws, digging is a breese for ptermoles, who are even strong enough to snap thick tree roots while making their homes. Burrows are usually positioned under trees to help prevent tunnel collapses, and the most used tunnels are rubbed smooth from constant use. Other animals will sometimes use the burrows for shelter, especially during forest fires, which rarely penetrate the deep tunnels of the burrows.
