#Xatt oc

[mushroom-for-art]

Hehehe brain rot go brrr made another Xatt who also has interconnecting lore with the original two (Xatts species belonging to @chocodile) ft. Past vs modern form I suppose comparison

The shadow magic cave system stuff that makes these guys really just spat this one out and said fuck you you've got teeth problems XD I'm so sorry this probably isn't an actual thing that happens I'm just like this, so for some reason his mouth had too many teeth which caused many problems, he has teeth growing on top of each other and being forced sticking out, tusks growing out through his skin a broken tusk that's definitely infected, probably infections in his gums from his teeth being whack uncomfortable drooling from the pain and probably bad breath tbh not that their mouths smell good normally but extra ew. So eating is incredibly hard prey smells his mouth and is put off by it, his bulbs are weak sauce not very good glow bad illumination hard to get preys attention (sorry bout that) and honestly trapping and suffocating prey is difficult when your mouth hurts. I just made him and made his life difficult. I imagine he's got more of a weasely body shorter than Xep from feet to ears but longer than her from snout to before tail end. I think he has the biggest tail mouth so far out of all 3? I'd have to do a size chart he's definitely bigger than bun and I do want to give him the biggest chompers. I tried to keep fur color patterning realistic but plain as I wasn't sure on how far patterns could be pushed before it became a different coat type. I also tried not to give this one pink bulbs as the past two have been pink....instead he became pink and arguably purple is just pink, I can't win pink bulbs just too dang good. He was meant to have a much more blue color scheme in my mind he was blueish aligned but it didn't look nice so he pink.

As modern hes a class traitor lmao, I feel as he struggled he planned to leave caves to try life in the human society world and got snatched up by some people who saw him and went "oh poor thing look at it!" and he was promptly given drugs and veterinary care to remove his extra teeth and help with his infections. They realised after oh yea this is one of those creatures they're apparently quite smart. And he revealed yea he is. The people had already paid the vet bill by then (he had been careful to pretend to be 'knocked out' he didn't want no bills), so he was a free man. He actually keeps in touch with them they did him a solid he does appreciate it, and has his own job and such and housing ect. He went to the dentist about getting his remaining teeth straightened as they were still whack and they gave him anaesthetics to do it, which he found rude like yea sure he probably would've pretended to bite an arm off, maybe actually, doesn't mean they should give him drugs. Like sir. Sir you know fine well you would've bitten someone dont bullshit me. In all honesty I just wanted to add braces to his design to show how 'human' he is in a way how different he is to my wild Xatts, his modern design came first then I decided to give his younger self dental issues. I also love how his chest boof turned into an almost tie illusion, he also has scars from struggling in the wild before joining society which is funny the one guy doing taxes is the only one with visible scars. That's life and I wanted to do scars adds interest to character designs

Currently outside his job he engages in trade and business with Xep, this was after falling for the lure of Bun outside a cave and being a bit worried cause Xatts don't usually leave the caves are you lost do you want a help footing in the outside world? (human society seems to have made him soft). And was promptly jumped by Xep and nearly robbed before she realised annoyingly he had nothing she wanted. From then on after a bit of arguing they worked out a business deal she had human items she didn't want that he could pawn off and then use that money (keeping a percentage for himself of course) to get her things she would want. Bun doesn't think much of him, thought he was a traitor naturally at first but he quite liked her and thus immediately lied saying he in fact was not there willingly! Oh no! He had in fact been trapped-no taken by people while unconscious who were now holding him for money for doing stuff as he was unaware taking out his old teeth and he had no choice but to work to get money to pay them back. The lies coming a bit too easily and quickly, can't help it he's become a liar by habit and he does feel bad later for painting his human society companions like that but, they'll never meet so it'll be fine neither will know the truth. He's slightly nervous around Xep naturally even though he lives with humans her behaviourisms are all wrong for Xatts she's hard to read and it makes him vastly uncomfortable at times but she has things that are sellable and he likes a bit of business, nothing wrong with extra money in his pocket, and they can talk about human things sometimes and it's nice to not have to explain something in detail that she just knows what he means. Meanwhile him and Bun are civil with each other, I imagine he got a bulb cap for her chipped bulb to cover the top as it honestly probably causes sensitivity and ringing so the cover helps block that out until her bulb regrows fully or to a state that it's not hypersensitivity so she appreciates that even if it's from the people world.

But that's my new boy he's not named yet, I had actually done a quick search trying to find a name but alas short attention span nothing jumped out. For now he's probably just Weasel.

AAAAaaaAaaAaaaaaahh!!! Oh my goodness the art!! Losing my mind smiling all silly to myself I hadn't expected art I was just ooh yes my brainrot ask. Look at!! Them!!! Going feral going silly they're so shaped!! The way you draw them is so so so good my god and yes the sizes!! So smol tiny bun and lanky beasty Xep. Absolutely she's plotting to steal his rings likes people things will snatch :) Bun is so smol and squishy looking urghhh my heart I'm :') losing my mind happy sobbing

Look at that accidental dad! He is not ready for parenthood! Does not want! Send them back XD

I had no idea about the original lore but that's so interesting I love that thank you for the tid bit, again Xep would absolutely try to steal his rings and probably any loose fabrics she likes material so idk like father like daughter scheming little creature. Also your little remark about being careful not to be dissected is quite funny as I do imagine in Xeps lore as she was raised around humans/people having been snatched up she actually likely has been dissected and studied by them as she was a research subject so she'd rather not have that happen again! Probably traumatised by it! But will absolutely deny!

I honestly just love this so much its brilliant i keep scrolling up to look at the art cause!! It's so good the colors the way you've done them are so good I'm looking at Xep and her fuzzy mane and going feral and ooh the lore and my brain is vibrating so hard with these creatures. Thank you for this piece it was a lovely surprise. And don't worry about being in an art slump, happens to all of us and this is just absolutely brilliant. Very very happy mushroom here *stares at art for all of time*

Lmao just know I'm brainrotted and am mentally making both my Xatts Anthros but more animal aligned than anthro Xatts cause Xep is based on a hare in my mind so I wanna turn her into a gangly limbed uncanny hare freak (lovingly) with stupid big ears who just generally has major something is very very wrong with her vibes and probably delights in torture and maiming like a little freak and would growl at Hayden ears pinned back in aggression showing, sharp back teeth that definitely probably shouldnt be there if he looked at the rabbit Xatt anthro too long.

Meanwhile sweet bun Xatt is stuck with this terrifying lanky maniac and is just shaped smaller squishy and ever so soft and fluffy with such delicate gentle paws and a light step. And Xep just wants to dress her up and admire her prize. But also probably has something a bit wrong with her as well. What exactly idk but probably don't get caught snooping somewhere you shouldn't by her. Cause I like the oh a cute lil lady <3 - oh there's something wrong with her actually. Maybe magic idk like I like the idea of powers especially darker magic making her perhaps just as deadly as the maniac hare.

Cause both being Xatts they're both dangerous just in slightly different ways bun is a cutesy lure with the unexpected jaw while Xep is cunning and moreso hunts and I think that'd translate over making them both deadly in different ways. They probably have some sort of work deal pact, not sure what or why I like them being in a fucked up partnership cause dynamic. Bound by blood. I'm just so brain rotted and so normal about this XD with so many mental images of art I'll never make but oof I wanna. I just thought you had a right to know your hayden world stuff urg it consumes me I love thinking about it its so fun.

Also I just like uncanny Valley hare lanky wrong and unnerving paired with a small fluffy and trustworthy bunny rabbit. Like the brain is vibrating at mental imagery of that the opposites the cute correct adored and the terrifying incorrect feared, always kind of bound to the other inseparable almost. Idk I can't fully explain it but thoughts go BRRR

In regards to the designs, any proportions you wanna draw them with are totally fine! You can draw 'em anthro with human proportions and clothing, you can draw them quad, you can draw 'em like Bugs Bunny and anything in between. Xatts can come in many shapes and sizes! A long gangly uncanny one sounds cool.

Also, having something "wrong" with 'em and a slightly ominous streak is very much in character for Xatts...they tend to be a little odd and feral at the best of times--it's mostly a matter of what their individual "bad" percentage is and how good they are at controlling it.

Also, your description of your two as a tag team sounds very endearing! I'll keep that in mind when I do your Xatt sketches… (still planning that, just catching up on stuff and in a bit of a digital art slump at the moment)

In regards to Hyden's reaction, I can certainly say he'd be rather creeped out by a Xatt. Once the surprise wore off, though, he'd be fascinated by this strange, new, potentially magical creature… careful, Xep, don't let him get you on the dissection table!

In the current version of the Amaranthine story, Xatts aren't canonically present--they're more of a free-floating monster idea that could be plugged into any setting--but they were originally part of Amaranthine back in 2009.

In the original 2009-era backstory for Xatts, they were born from the Shadow. Given that Hyden was the one who released the Shadow upon the world in the first place, that would have made him their accidental "father", in a way.

The connection between the two isn't canon anymore, but just a fun little bit of trivia. :)

An Art Fight attack for bakrery [https://artfight.net/~bakrery] of their character: Xatt, the Alien Cat!

I had to draw them because space kitty

[bedrockfactory]

A little Xatt i wanted to share with you.

Xatt species belongs to @chocodile

[goat-yells-at-everything]

Daday the Xatt

Found this semi-open species by @chocodile the other day and I just LOVE them! So cute and vicious!

Check out the ref sheet for the Xatt species -> Here!

[mushroom-for-art]

Another drawing of the Xatt ocs I made cause they're shaped, bun one still needs a name rip. She Sploot. Idk if they have beans but I thought it'd be cute meanwhile Xep is just lonk and very off incorrectly proportioned here to ruin other Xatts lives like the weird hare shaped beast she is. Full credit to @chocodile who owns the Xatt species

[mushroom-for-art]

Recently discovered @chocodile 's Xatts species soo I gave it a go cause I thought they were pretty dang cool.

Doesn't have a name yet they are just small fluffy and anxious really leaning into the bunny body type. Bulb type perky but kinda look crooked oops but are meant to be perky with a chipped top, and tusks on mouth. I kept all their traits as common so they're just a typical lil bean. I like em a lot. Mouth probably drools a lot thinking bout food, luckily not glow drool otherwise it'd give them away.

Another Xatt (species belonging to @chocodile) moreso inspired by an oc I already have, Xattifies Zep magic beam attack go. So here is just my absolute awful daughter (I love her) ft lazy lighting shading

Very I have wares if you have coins vibes, honestly the worst. I feel like at some point they were studied by people cause if humans tried to pet they also tried to study and I feel she also studied them back, listening learning obtaining knowledge and also humanlike qualities from being around them moreso than her own kind. When she finally was either released or escaped hm forever changes by the experience. Has a more cunning personality from the man eat man what's in it for me nature of the big city, making her an outsider from others. Also for the fact she's relatively big (but like not huge just big for a Xatt) from being fed during studying, and will cannibalise given half the chance if a smaller Xatt wanders too close. Also I hc her claw tips glow and she'll sit on darkness tapping her claws on a rock that glow and mesmerise smaller stupider prey animals to snatch them up in her tail. She'll use these smaller caught prey as leverage if she wants something from another Xatt, food for the thing.

[chocodile]

Can I make a Xatt oc? I will use the species reference and credit you, of course

Absolutely, go right ahead! That's what they're there for. :)

If you do make a Xatt, be sure to show me so I can draw you a gift doodle, too!
