#porcupine scug :)

I was doodling and one drawing came out super well, and I decided it was gonna be Spearmaster.

As I colored it I added new things, and now I have this design for them that I quite like!

Doodle & alt. background below the cut!

(Also happy 300th post to me! Glad it was original)

I know you did the scugs as iterators but I desperately want to see the opposite, the iterators as scugs

this ask has been in my mind for a while but I never really got to do something with the idea- but here we finally are after uh.... 4 months or so. whoops

this is within the same au as the scugerators btw :)

feel free to come up with titles/names for them if you want, my mind is blank on that part

Suns: can shoot their quills like a porcupine if threatened

in case you can't read the writing:

Pebbles: can charge electric spears + temporarily stuns creatures with an electric shock (momentarily weakens him)

Moon: can jump really high and descend slowly at will. (don't ask how it works. IDK and frankly don't care)

Sig: has an armored back + overall sturdy. back deflects spears

small ramblings about iterator-made scugs

some spoilers and it's kinda long, so page break inbound

soooo this is just something I'm thinking about. I kinda wonder if the purposed beings/iterator-made slugcats look almost like normal slugcats, but... something about them just looks off.

Hear me out, this isn't just about Spearmaster.

I mean- making a living, functional, sentient being must be extremely difficult, since Suns took like 7 attempts just to make Spearmaster, and Sigs rushed the process and gave Hunter rot (from the chats, I'm pretty sure it was by mistake.) As well as this, adding on things must be difficult too, since you need to be careful with how any kind of mutation affects the being's functions, like how Spears has no mouth so they can't become feral, but they compensate by having porcupine-like needles they can use as a pseudo esophagus, as well as being sharp enough to penetrate and use as a weapon.

You get the idea, it's difficult to make a creature from scratch. I'd like to imagine that unless they try to go as accurate as possible, the iterators could take some liberties to change them slightly, like if there is a certain part of the being that doesn't serve any evolutionary purpose, that the creator doesn't see a need for, or that the creator wants to change/improve for whatever reason. That might be better or at least different for the resulting creature to live with, but removing/changing the trait(s) would most likely make them look really weird.

so uhh...

tl;dr purposed organisms would look strange if their creator didn't care about accuracy and took liberties to change/improve the resulting beings. That's probably not a theory everyone might agree with (open to discussion), but that's how I'm drawing purposed organisms now.

The Traitor

has venomous porcupine quill thinggys

got cast out of their scug clan

saved an iterator (kinda)

has makeshift fangs and/or claws

on a mission to find lost family member

learned how to read

compulsively steals from scavs

has listened to music before (like actual music not just ambience)

sounds like a tea kettle when extremely frustrated

These little guys consume my every waking moment.

Its the Fnf crew but as Scugs(SlugCats)!

Blue is Rivulet, a canon Scug known for its ADHD and ability to hold its breath for longer (fur pattern based off of a river otter)

Sophie is Nomad, a fanon Scug that is basically a glorified sugar glider (fur pattern based off of a Fennec Fox)

Pico is Artificer, another canon Scug that can explode on command because B O M B S (fur pattern based off of a weasel)

Nene is SpearMaster, a canon Scug that can pull spears from its ass because yes (fur pattern based off of a porcupine)

and Darnell is an Arbiter, another fanon Scug that is essentially a glorified snake (I basically just recolored the OG Arbiter because I already really liked the OG design)

Both the Nomad and the Arbiter come from Daszombes' The Deadlands concept campaign video.
