Snapdragon- plant creature
Egg- This wood-brown egg has two delicate leaves folded around it. If you touch them, they snap shut around the egg.
Hatchling- The egg cracks, and a blind head pokes its way out. The hatchling that slithers out has two dark, soft, spine-edged leaves folded along its back, and its head resembles a huge venus flytrap. A second flytrap tips its tail, and its tiny legs are tipped in roots. It sits with both mouths open, and if a bug lands in one, attracted by a sweet scent the hatchling gives off, the mouth snaps shut. It likes to dip its root-feet in water, and it also likes to sit on your head with its leaves spread. It's rather lightweight.
Adult- Your creature is now the size of a cat, but it's still light enough that with its vinelike tail wrapped loosely around your neck, it can sit on your head and soak up the light without troubling you. Its traplike mouths on its head and tail smell incredibly sweet, and the saliva it produces between meals makes a nice perfume, though it attracts hundreds of bugs. The huge leaves on its back can be spread to provide shade for you when it's on your head, and it lives on eating bugs and dipping its rootlike feet into water.
General- Snapdragons are strange creatures. They were accidentally created by a clumsy magi who spilled a potion onto his prized venus flytraps, and are somewhere between animal and plant. They lure and eat insects with their sweet smell, and their saliva makes a nice perfume in bug-free climates. They are emotionless, though they will bond with the person who raises them and follow their orders over all others.

So, I tried to sprite them, though they aren't too good and need redoing.

Re: Snapdragon- plant creature

Re: Snapdragon- plant creature
Thanks, both of you!
And the sprites are just supposed to be examples of what they could look like.

Re: Snapdragon- plant creature
I like it, it's very creative, in my opinion, the descriptions are great! I love the sprites, too, especially the hatchling! Aww, I like the idea of a little cat-sized plant thing walking around my Keep. x3

Re: Snapdragon- plant creature
Haha, thanks much! Yeah, it's supposed to be just... there. It wanders around and photosynthesizes and eats bugs.

Re: Snapdragon- plant creature
I agree with the adult and hatchling. I mean, after I look at it carefully, I could tell where the head is and such, but I had to really look at it. The egg is perfect!Eljazo wrote:With the sprites, Its a little hard to tell whats going on.
I think the poses could stay the same (except for maybe the position of the adult's head) but maybe make it a little more... detailed, I guess? Like, make the head more... easier-to-tell-that-it's-the-head-ish.
Other than that, LOVE IT!

Re: Snapdragon- plant creature
Well, these aren't finalized sprites, they're supposed to be examples.

Re: Snapdragon- plant creature
...changed "drool" to "saliva" because it sounds less gross.
