Spore

Alright, first post...

Kargarada

I've drawn all these sketches, I'll upload them later.

Cell Stage

Blue with dark blue stripes. Two eyes, a long whip-tail, mandibles, and three spikes on either side. It attacks prey by biting and thrashing from side to side with its spikes.

Creature Stage

First Evolution: Blue and dog-sized, it's similar to a kangaroo rat. It has one large spike protruding forward and has a long tail.

Second Evolution (Main Creature): Once again, blue with tiger stripes. It holds itself like a big cat, with a head like a wildebeest with rabbit ears and tusks. It has five horns/spikes total: Two rhino horns coming from its head, one coming forward from its back, and one coming forward on either shoulder. It's a top predator on its planet, and attacks with gores, stabs, slices, bites, and whips from its long tail. It had slender legs ending with hawk-like talons. Straight-up carnivore.

Tribal Phase and forward

Same color scheme and pattern. All horns are closer together and point forward, and the creature is bipedal and hunchbacked. The long and slender legs remain, and the arms are lean and muscular. The tail is now prehensile.

Civ Phase (Buildings and Vehicles))

Buildings: Groups of spiked towers, primitive yet technological. Come in shades ranging from jet black to royal blue.

Vehicles: Thin, motorcycle-like vehicles focused on speed. Same color scheme as buildings.

I'll get back to you with a UFO design!

This is my first post as well Err, my creature suddenly doesn't look so good next to some of these things lol, but just for the sake of it...


A young male finds an easy meal when he comes across an old resting boar. (Yeah alright, I didn't have enough imagination to come up with my own prey item, so And btw, this is my creature's tribal phase.)

Nomenclature

Common Name: Nexmorsus (Plural: Nexmorsi)
Nickname: Nex (Plural: Nex)
Scientific name: Mirus nexmorsus

Colouration

Most males are dark blue or aqua in colour while females are normally a brighter turqoise. Indigo variations are extremely rare and tend to appear in males. Many times their skin turns darker or even black when aggitated.

Size

Soulder Height: 5-6 ft.
Length: 10-15 ft.
Weight: 750-900 lbs

Sensing

Visual: incredibly acute; able to detect both infrared and visual light
Auditory: quite acute, hearing frequency range of 5 to 35,000 Hz
Tactile: low sensory nerve endings; very high pain threshold
Olfactory: lacking; uses gland in the throat to detect air particles
Taste: quite acute; 50,000 taste buds on tongue
Other: Can detect heat waves from other creatures from nerve endings lining its jaw

Environment

As semi-amphibious beings, Nex perfer to live in rainy biomes including tropical rainforests and swamps.

Verbal Communication

Nex use a red pouch-like dulap under their jaw for everyday communication. With it, they are able to make complex bird-like cooing sounds or even loud chirps. However, when aggressive, the Nex may bare its teeth and growl at a very low frequency below human hearing.

Emotive Behavior

The personality of the Nex, as a species, is, like humans, largely dependent upon the individual. A social species, the vast majority are friendly and complacent to their own kind when properly respected and their emotional needs are met. Also like humans, they are able to feel love, hatred, and all in between towards other individuals or groups. In addition, most every member of the species is also completely respectful to other species which are no harm to them, not including induvidual prey items that is. However, to their aggresors, the Nex can be incredibly violent and attack without any warning whatsoever. If one so much as looks at a Nex “incorrectly” they have a slim change of surviving with minor injuries, let alone living.

Violent Behavior

Whether hunting or battling over a territory or a mate, bloodshed is a matter taken very seriously by the Nex species. Overall, they are particularly adept when it comes to physical violence, as their name suggests, which is Latin for "violent death". However, this does not necessarily mean these creatures are a bloodthirsty species. In fact, they prefer to make peace with their enemies and leave war as a last resort tactic.

Solitary Hunting
Younger Nex usually look for old or wounded prey much less their own size when hunting solo. Larger males and females, however, choose to combat healthier prey head-on to get a fresher meal.

Tribal Hunting
A hunting clan of Nex, usually consisting of 4-7 induviduals, choose the largest creature to take down in order to feed their tribe. They most often hunt in a sheltered enviornment, such as a jungle, so they could leap out at once and take their prey down by surprise. This is when Nex become extrordinarily violent, attempting to bring down the animal ASAP by biting and stabbing it repeatedly in the neck or head area. Their goal is to bleed their prey to death.

I might decide to add more description on their combat strategies later...

So, my final critter is the Stack Bug. The stack bug is not a sentient race, but is instead a parasite in another races society. It's habbitat is a place called Bramacas, where the pollution is so bad that all the smog is pumped up into the troposphere by thousands of gigantic chimneys, in an attempt to get rid of the harmfull pollutants. There are a group of people who must repair these chimneys when they break down, and deep down in the bowels of the larger chimneys are the stack bugs. Not much is known about their lifecycle or diet, or how there are so many subspecies in such a confined environment.

be kind! please look

very nice welcome to xpore

last night i designed another creature its most probably not 'makeable' but if it please tell me because i would be very excited to hear that i can make Fikos.

Fikos = Freakin' Insane Kids On Speed

i saw a discovery channel show on slugs a few months back and saw how awesome of their 'abilities' are, so i decided to draw a slug in the near future of 17563AD on a radioactive post-apocalyptic swamp.

i remember posting this in 2007 or 2006, i came second to powerferrets creature aswell ^_^

well, dont flame me because i cant draw and i suck at those 3d programs (im gonna try to draw it though)

anyway, heres the story.

Stalkers are very intelligent beings. Although they look savage/brutal (which they are :P ) they are also very cultural, they each make a very unique noise (which is their singing). Stalkers are swift, they prefer to hunt in packs of 4-5, although if needed they will hunt by themselves. The main method of attack for a stalker is their claws on their arms, or their tail. even when young, a stalkers tail is very large (especialy the ball, its made of solid bone) but as the stalker grows, the tail doesnt, its more of a balance thing. They obviosuly feed via there mouths, but because of there teeth, they are unable to eat live prey, they 1st have to cut it into smaller pieces. (they are carnivores)

there are 3 types of stalkers (sorry, right now i dont have names for the 3 types, its 12:15 am and i got school tomorow )

They are divided into 3 groups, determined by the spikes on their backs. The 1st group, which is the most common, is shown in that picture. It has 1 row of spikes down its back, the more spikes, the more respected it is in its community. you would kind of call group 3 the peasants, or working class

group 2 has 2 rows of spikes, they are respected among their community, uncommon, and their voices are much louder then a group 1's.

group 3. These are revered among the stalkers. very rareley will you see a group 3 stalker, They have 3 rows of spikes down their backs. and in extremley rare cases, 4. the ones with 4 spikes are basically elected as kings/queens, they are royalty, their word is law.
(each row of spikes gets more respect and have louder voices, this is seen as a sign of power and thus is a born leader)

ok well, thats it, ill try and draw it and make my story better, now im off to bed Goodluck to everyone on the contest
