Ok, but now I have another question.

I'm a terrible artist and can't draw or sprite for the life of me. So is it ok if my entry doesn't have any artwork to go with it?

I think so. I hope so. ^^ Mine doesn't have any either, and I've seen a lot without artwork.

Yep, that's fine, it says so in Damien's post. I have no artwork with mine, anyways.

Does one have to write a detailed description that is similar to the ones of the existing creatures or is it enough if we give enough information that a detailed description could be made from it if one has artwork of the creature?
And can the same creature be suggested multiple times by different people(I´ve seen at least two ravens, hydras and gargoyles now and was wondering...)?

I think its all down to you. If you have artwork, then i would assume that it is less important to describe the appearance of the creature and more just its powers and characters.
But i don't know for sure, you'd have to ask the staff.

And the same creature can be suggested by different people.

- More than one person is allowed to enter the same creature. i.e. User A and User B both enter unique versions of a salamander. Entrants will be judged on originality/uniqueness of their individual entries, not the basic concept.

Would you be allowed to bump your entry if it fell down to like page 3?

Ok thanks.

I would assume this falls under the 'once a day' rule. :t-shrug:
