THANKS THIS IS GREAT

I was thinking we should have a creature building challenge like the building challenges, so how about we kick off with a "cute but deadly" option, inspired by Fwoggie (from the other thread). Post your adorable-looking killbots here!

This is too easy.  It's trivial to hide stuff inside the head.  Click to get to the PNG for installation.

I could perhaps have stuck with Ockie/Octagor, but I decided to create something new instead...



(Also: Shot from behind.)

Download.

I've only hidden two things in the mouth, and only because the effects for those two things would be obvious anywhere else. It looks much better animated than my octapus creations do, there's no revealing of hidden items on this one that I can see, except maybe when it opens its mouth real wide.

I realise that if I'd only given it two legs I could have hid better items in there, but it just didn't look right.

Gus, your dude isn't cute. Try harder for cuteness. Faizah's looks like a Moomin, so it wins on cute.

Here's what happens when you let a 6 year old pick the colour scheme:

So, creatures actually are encoded in the png?  And yet they expect people to log on??

In the fall, elks eat fermented apples and get drunk. Drunk elks are aggressive, while the common, sober, elk is a rather peaceful animal. This is a drunk elk. It is called the Battle Elk.

Yes, they are, which I think is very cool.  However, I still log in regularly because I automatically download everything any of my named buddies create, and a selection of stuff from the masses.  They're claiming 20 million creatures on objects created so far, so that adds huge variety to my games.

Now and then I do run into something that I don't like, but which doesn't justify a Ban.  Like the ugly two-faced aliens the Pyranchians met recently.  But overall it's been worth it.

I present this cute and harmless turtle.

Update: Cute innocent turtles now bundled in creatures.rar along with all my other awesome critturs. Like grah-representations and Moar Space Creatures.

The slightly reworked Damuste. So cute you'll crap your pants. He waddles. Awww.

He also has 5's in all combat stats but charge. See: waddle.

Finally I have time to play this game. I'm on my first creature in the nest stage.

I cannot wait to see what this innocent-looking turtle is packing.

I -think- this is the version of my Foxes right before evolving to tribal.

It vanished.  It must be a ninja turtle.

The turtle was bundled into a creatures.rar package because the individual files were both unclear and unwieldy. Plus the Turtle can now be in SPACE.

The weaponry on Tich is not exactly hidden, but as it's my first creature please disregard this breach of the rules. I didn't see any point in starting a new thread just for Tich. I'm just starting tribal stage.



Is there a way to get the image any bigger except ingame? I will take a bigger one, I think, you can't admire him properly here. (Yes it is a 'he' lol).

I use a super high tech Print Screen + Paint combo for my screenshots. Roll Eyes Apparently you can take in-game photos by pressing C, but this may only work while playing. The creature creator should have an inbuilt camera, also. Look for the camera-like icon, probably in 'test drive' mode.

I can't get back into creature mode lol. I don't know how to make him do a mating call, the buttons on the toolbar have vanished.
OK. Forgot about the hut.

I did use Gadwin to get the 2nd pic.

Another n00b question; how can I get a fatter body? All I got was this long serpent-like thing.

Hover over the skeleton portion you wish to enlarge/shrink and use the scroll-wheel. Don't know how to do it if you don't have a scroll wheel, + and - buttons?

I could only stretch the skeleton, none of the handles made him wider. I'll try the scrollwheel, ta.

The in-game tips will give you creator commands.
