some stuff involving non sapient creatures in pareidolia, first image is some animals that tomtar have domesticated, second is a remake of gloson, which is a vätte but is, contrary to most other ones ive made, not a sophont and is instead domesticated by trolls. more info below the cut...

ive already talked about the tomteget in another post, so i wont go into detail about them here, but the one shown in the picture is gullmar's goat (and he is there as well as ucan see). tomtar also keep a domesticated breed of wolverine and ermine, used for some different purposes - wolverines more as guarding/herding animals and ermines to hunt. tomtar don't actually tend to hunt a lot of large prey at all, and what they do hunt is sort of limited as a lot of game birds are sacred to them due to folklore (basically ptarmigans, corvids, grouses, capercailles and things in those veins..). therefore despite how small ermines are they can hunt most of the quarry they prefer such as hares, ducks etc - especially bcs the tomte variety of ermine is bred to be a bit larger and more robust. they can also just be kept as companion animals for many tomtar. wolverines meanwhile serve well as guarding and herding animals due to their size and strength. there is a notable regiment of wolverine fighters in the midlands front - where interested tomtar are trained for combat utilizing the power of the wolverine - the one pictured though is a regular herding/guarding animal though. there are probably some smaller tomte hunting groups that try to go for bigger game with them such as wolves etc. but its definitely pretty unusual. tomteget goats are basically universal across tomte cultures, but the tomte wolverines and ermines are a bit more limited, more occuring in northern cultures historically. although as time goes on they have been spread further south, especially as the midlands front was established and increased the communicative network between different disparate tomte societies. 2. this is just a remake of the gloson from that older post bcs i wasnt really happy with the design - its a laaaaarge animal but didnt really feel like it proportionally bcs i stuck too closely to the normal eu swine proportions... things are mostly the same about them though. the orange parts of the horns glow!

Adhd and Autism Creatures but in 3d. If you want, tell me what you would like for me to do with them. They're rigged and everything so it isn't going to be hard to do things with them.

If you want the files I have them here:

Apologies if the rigging isn't very good. That's not exactly my strongsuit and I haven't gotten the opportunity to tweak the weights yet.

Ooookay, yesterday I said that I might explain the lore behind my Spore captain's story... so here it goes. This is him at the beginning by the way:

Why is he a cell? What's going on? Well let's just say that he's a little bit older than any other alpferd. Or show I say he's mind and memories? Because as I played through Spore, I imagined that the creature we played as always remembered it's previous lives. So the captain isn't immortal but he gets reincarnated every time.

He doesn't know why it happens. Almost no one believes him and they just think he's going crazy. And that's how creature stage passes. Only his packmates want to be anywhere near close to him. And they still think that he's a bit weird. It's weird when he talks about something he shouldn't even know happened.

But he carries on. He feels like he's on a mission to lead his species to greatness. Years pass and he manages to become the chieftain of his new tribe, and allies most of the other tribes (it's more complicated than just that, but I'll talk about it eventually). And finally in the civilization stage, he manages to peacefully unite the whole world (well, as peacefully as possible...).

After all that, he becomes one of two captains of their planet's main spaceship (Yes, there's two of them, but I'll talk about it some other day. But it's related to the fact that I played Spore with my brother).

Buuut, he doesn't really have a name. Well he does but there's just so many of them. Like thousands or milions of them! But I'll eventually give him a name that he uses in the space stage.

I feel a little silly after writing all of that. If anyone is interested by my horse-bugs then I'll happily respond to questions. It'll even help me develop them more. Believe me i'm extremely attached to them for whatever reason, and I really like to come up with new stuff for them.

I think the next things I'll tackle are their clothes and armor. I'll figure out how it all works and stuff. And I'll draw the two captains! And also explain the stages in more detail because this is just a "quick" summary. Why is it so fun to just think of full lore for creatures you made in a 15 year old game?

Here's cake for anyone who read all that:🍰

I have a feeling these UD eggs and the Dimension X vine-spawning eggs in the VR are the same thing

hi ellory! i bring a question and a title tale. how are werewolves treated in your pureblood world? would it still be as devastating if Remus' condition were to be made public, or could lycanthropy be treated as a family gift (like the Black blood curse)? and for a title tale: the stars shine bright (but in the moonlight, i only see your face)

Hi Lady!

So, in my verse, Lycaons are Pureblood Werewolves. That is, they're born wolf-shifters. The "Turned" are those attacked by/cursed by a Lycaon, which results in a traditional type of werewolf who painfully changes on nights of the full moon, etc. Turned are generally criminals and would be looked down upon. Lycaon would not be looked down upon.

For the title tales, I think I'd go with Remus Lupin/Andromeda Black.

When Mister Remus Lupin masters his Animagus form and discovers he's a wolf, he attracts the attention of Lady Andromeda Black, who values loyalty above all else.

More about my alpferds!

They're herbivores, of course and being kind and peaceful is in their nature. This is a plus in some ways. Now that they are in the space stage, they prefer to make allies rather than enemies. Talking things out is their most common way to end conflicts. It works most of the time, but that does mean that if na alpferd is just not "a very good person" they will take advantage of others. This is why during the civilization stage many cities were military- alpferds hungry for power took over whole cities and simply wanted everything to be only about themselves. And these kinds of alpferds can still be reasoned with. They're just much more like humans when it comes to their morals and beliefs.

I should probably add that an alpferd, even if it's attacked, will not start fighting back until they have tried to peacefully end the battle. Sometimes they realise that the opponent can't be stopped with pacifist ways too late. But if they're able to protect themselves they mostly use their horns as weapons to tackle their enemy. They can also hit with their mantis-claw-thingies on their arms.

(these can be any colour, I just coloured them like that here) The green outfit is what they use during space travel. The orange and pink are just casual clothes. The orange one is for colder times of the year. But alpferds don't really wear clothes because they have to. It's just because they want to. They don't have anything they have to cover, they just find dressing up a really good way to express themselves. They could wear any human shirt they'd want, they just need to make holes for their wings in the back. And they mostly wear skirts and not trousers or something, because it would be uncomfortable with their electric part (it doesn't produce electricity anymore...)

Now I'll add something about my precious captain...and the second captain. Of course he is one of the nicest creatures in the whole Spore galaxy (am I just joking now... Maybe.) And despite being basically millions of years old, he managed to stay just as cheerfull and sociable as he's always been. However he doesn't always know when to stop talking and many find him very annoying. And I'll add that it's really hard to convince him. So yeah others find him annoying for being stubborn too. Oh, and his current name is Michał (try to pronounce it before looking it up, I dare you >:D) He's had many different names throughout the years but this is the one he has now.

And the other guy is Trevor (named by my brother who I Play Spore with). He's one oth those more humanlike alpferds. Violence is his first option for everything, at least at the beginning of space stage. And he's generally not very nice to his crew. But he is the only one who can fight well ( mostly by skillfully shooting down the enemy spaceships), so he is useful in that regard. Also he doesn't just pick on his crew members for no reason, he's pretty docile in casual conversations( except when he's talking to or about Michał. They REALLY don't like eachother. I wonder if that will ever change...)

Okay, that's all for today. I might do something about their machines and buildings next! If you have questions then I'll gladly answer. Like, really gladly.

[ellorypurebloodculture]

Questions about the 'verse. With the existence of werewolves (both pureblood and turned) and the fae, would the idea of vampires fall into the same category? Born Vampires v. Turned Vampires? And would the vampires also have a monarchy type style for their world, or would they have a different ruling style?

Yes, absolutely. Vampires vs. Turned Vampires is definitely a thing. And yes, they do have royalty as well.
