Creature creature au questions:

1) since Dream is considered a monster is Techno a human form then? Or do Minecraft hybrids not count as "monstrous"?

2) is it "just" because his wings have been mutilated that Dream doesn't want Techno to remove his prison shirt or is there more of his creature features (heh) that's hidden? Like gills? Or spikes down his spine?

3) when they get out will they split up as in canon? Did everything before the prison happen as in canon or is the reason he's in the prison different? (Is it because they found out what he looked like and got scared?)(Did they have an easier time seeing him as a horrible person when they found out he wasn't human?)

4) with how thin and long Dreams limbs are is he able to move himself in ways that are not quite right? Is he able to get into too tight spaces? (Is he fun to cuddle?)

5) when Phil sees what happened to Dreams wings, how will he react? What will he do?

6) How do the other members of the syndicate react to Dream? Both how he looks but also what happened to him?

7) does Dream have any weakness from his species? Like how endermen gets hurt by water? Or a species bonus? Like how blazes are immune to fire damage?

8) Does his species have a name? Is he the only one? Will he ever meet others of his species?

9) what will happen to Sam and Quackity when everything is over? What punishment will they get :)?

10) What are Dreams relations with his old friends? Did they know what he was before?

(I have gotten a new fave au of yours :3 the Trans love of creatures™)

1) since Dream is considered a monster is Techno a human form then? Or do Minecraft hybrids not count as "monstrous"?

yeah, this is actually a thing i've had in my head for awhile! that while some people can be weird about hybrids, they're generally seen as mostly.... people. not really human but a sort of person. techno himself tends to lean more towards Not A Person since he has fewer human features than like, say c!tubbo with his goat horns. c!ranboo would also be considered that.

dream in this au has very few human features except for a general shape so people are quick to label him as not human or a monster.

2) is it "just" because his wings have been mutilated that Dream doesn't want Techno to remove his prison shirt or is there more of his creature features (heh) that's hidden? Like gills? Or spikes down his spine?

he has a bit of... 'armoring' on his spine, i guess? i pulled from dinosaurs and the existence of shulkers and sniffers. so there's some plating that covers his spine. it almost looks like white-ish rocks poking out from moss because there's a layer of green fur covering his back.

3) when they get out will they split up as in canon? Did everything before the prison happen as in canon or is the reason he's in the prison different? (Is it because they found out what he looked like and got scared?)(Did they have an easier time seeing him as a horrible person when they found out he wasn't human?)

dream is pretty insistent on going through with his plan to split up when techno leaves the prison. but that never actually happens because after techno disappears, sam ends up getting paranoid about the whole thing and doesn't want to lose his 'research subject' in dream so the rescue goes down a lot differently.

and yeah, one of them is the fact it's a LOT easier to vilify and hate dream because he's just.... creepy and weird to others. he can turn his head much like an owl, for example. he also has an insane vertical jump range and can cover a pretty wide distance in a leap (it's the rabbit legs/feet). people find him frightening and that colors things.

4) with how thin and long Dreams limbs are is he able to move himself in ways that are not quite right? Is he able to get into too tight spaces? (Is he fun to cuddle?)

continuing from above, yes! he tends to move in ways that read as strange or not right. he's done his best to hide that, though. as soon as he realizes how weird he comes off, dream tries to change how he moves to be more 'normal'

also, he IS fun to cuddle. everyone thinks techno is nuts for that but techno likes cuddling dream. there's something kind of sweet about the way dream wraps around him, like he never wants to let techno go. it's adorable as far as techno is concerned and just. makes him feel really wanted, y'know?

5) when Phil sees what happened to Dreams wings, how will he react? What will he do?

i think phil sympathizes. he didn't lose his wings fully like dream did and can't really imagine what that'd be like but he did lose his ability to fly and it's kind of hard not to feel bad for dream in that moment.

at first, though, he doesn't really do anything. he's skeptical about dream and really only putting up with him because of techno. that does change once he gets to know dream.

6) How do the other members of the syndicate react to Dream? Both how he looks but also what happened to him?

because techno and ranboo both veer closer to 'not human', the syndicate takes his appearance pretty much in stride. it's not really what they expected (though ranboo isn't surprised by the sharp teeth) but they don't judge him, really.

and whatever they might think about dream, no one deserves to be tortured.

7) does Dream have any weakness from his species? Like how endermen gets hurt by water? Or a species bonus? Like how blazes are immune to fire damage?

not really, to be honest. he can jump pretty well, he can see well. his tail is prehensile so that gives him so abilities that most people don't have.

i think regulating his body temperature in the prison gets difficult, though. he doesn't sweat like a typical person and with the heat from the lava and the cold from the obsidian, he definitely struggles a lot.

8) Does his species have a name? Is he the only one? Will he ever meet others of his species?

i've been wavering on this, honestly.

i do think he's the only one, though. but this is one of those things i don't have a solid backstory for yet. part of me wants to play with dreamXD and admins on servers.

9) what will happen to Sam and Quackity when everything is over? What punishment will they get :)?

they'll get what's coming to them.

the more that's revealed of what they did to dream in the prison, the angrier that techno gets. there was torture, yeah, but there was also a lot of experimenting. techno finds dream after he leaves the prison in sam's research lab which is like. hey! he's not being tortured i guess but it's absolutely terrible.

10) What are Dreams relations with his old friends? Did they know what he was before?

they knew, yeah! but they're not..... it's difficult. there's a pretty big divide between them now and it's not exactly something that's repairable, y'know? not for lack of wanting on all their parts. sometimes that's just how it is and that's the tragedy.
