My collectible creature universe Cillimorphs will (eventually) be an indie game, but until then I decided to commission a theme to help inspire me in the artistic and dev process. So here it is, courtesy of Nicole Marie T, who I’m sure would appreciate more business if you enjoy the sound of this.
Fintintin & Heapergroup
Designation: the TINNED FISH & FISH MARKET cillimorphs
Group: FISHY
Native Biomes: PLANET BRRR & PLANET URBANIAK
Size: SMALL & MEDIUM
Interesting Facts: Fintintin’s strong smell leads it to prefer cold or polluted waters, so it is less noticeable. Heapergroup’s scent is much more neutral, even pleasantly oceanic, so it throws itself on land for everyone to take an admiring whiff.
Frizzdisc & Hexbolt
Designation: the DISCUS & HEXAGONAL STORM cillimorphs
Group: COLONIAL
Native Biomes: PLANET WOODZY & OUTER SPACE
Size: SMALL & LARGE
Interesting Facts: Constructed from ambient electrical energy, Frizzdisc spins and buzzes at high speed through the air. As an adult it becomes much more contemplative, stewing in charged water vapor. When something offends its sense of geometric order, that things gets zapped. No exceptions.
Overhoarder & Bossraider
Designation: the DRAGON HOARD, TIERED LOOT, & RAID BOSS cillimorphs
Group: REPTOPHIBIAN
Native Biomes: PLANET BOLDERO & CYBERSPACE
Size: LARGE
Interesting Facts: Greedy collectors of trinkets both physical and digital, these morphs want you to try and take it so they have an excuse to rassle you. Watch out for the purple and orange weapons they’ve taken from video games, as their rarities are legendary and epic, making them the strongest.
Snotbone & Osseomyuke
Designation: the BONE EATING SNOT FLOWER & WHALE FALL cillimorphs
Group: SPINELESS
Native Biomes: PLANET WOODZY & OUTER SPACE
Size: SMALL & LARGE
Interesting Facts: These morphs root in foraged bones and suck nutrients from them. They have a tendency to arrange them into something resembling a whale, but they come from all sources. The whale shape helps the adults fly gracefully in combination with its gassy tissues.
Mirakrill & Crystacean
Designation: the KRILL, WATER WALKING, & SHRIMP SAVIOR cillimorphs
Group: SEGMENTED
Native Biomes: PLANET BRRR & CYBERSPACE
Size: SMALL & MEDIUM
Interesting Facts: Mirakrill and Crystacean can run and walk on the water’s surface, an ability they lose if their connection to the worlds wide web drops, as they need credulous belief in photos of their locomotion to sustain it further. They don’t require it, as they’re perfectly capable swimmers.
Highfoalutin & Altisteed
Designation: the ROCKING HORSE, HIGH HORSE, & HIGH-SEAT PILLAR cillimorphs
Group: MAMMALISH
Native Biomes: PLANET WOODZY & OUTER SPACE
Size: MEDIUM & LARGE
Interesting Facts: The haughty Highfoalutin is pretty tall for a juvenile morph, and it never lets you forget it. It takes a lot of energy to walk around on those stilts all day though, so it often folds up into a rocking sledge configuration. Altisteed is as tall as an atmosphere, so you can only see one section of it at a time. Woe to plane passengers, who always get the butt section.
Cyprotten & Bodbarrow
Designation: the CYPRESS KNEE & SHALLOW GRAVE cillimorphs
Group: GROWER
Native Biomes: PLANET SPLISHY & PLANET BRRR
Size: SMALL & MEDIUM
Interesting Facts: Cyprotten rises out of muck and snow to surveil the landscape, usually disapprovingly. As it matures more of its body surfaces, then its everyone else’s turn to disapprove since its unsightly and frequently stinks of swamp gas.
Grayj & Blisstella
Designation: the GRAY JAY & STELLER’S STELLAR JAY cillimorphs
Group: BIRDISH
Native Biomes: PLANET WOODZY & OUTER SPACE
Size: SMALL
Interesting Facts: Grayj is notable as a cillimorph with very low ridiculactivity, almost like a plain old bird of yore, but when it matures it converts that stored energy into perpetual stellar radiance, migrating out of its small pond of planet Woodzy and into the unfathomable black ocean of space.
Yormule & Volcrysis
Designation: the CHRISTMAS TREE WORM & CRYOVOLCANO cillimorphs
Group: SPINELESS
Native Biomes: PLANET BRRR & PLANET BOLDERO
Size: MEDIUM & LARGE
Interesting Facts: Yormule gathers shiny sediment to make ornaments, which you’re allowed to take, but don’t be greedy. Don’t take such liberties with the adult, as Volcrysis is a wrathful beast that constantly bursts out of the ground, spewing ice chunks everywhere, especially wherever it senses a dearth of holiday spirit and cheer.
