Hey guys, I hope you're all doing well! In today's post, I want to do something I probably haven't done in previous posts (or maybe I have, but I don't remember), which is to CREATE new creatures, or at least descriptions of them. Something to give the devs more inspiration to fill the Holozing Holodex. This time it's going to be a bit more general, focusing on what I think would be cool concepts for creatures.
Tell me what you think in the comments!
Aurexis, Luzbelis (tentative names): A creature that looks like an animal made of light. Its body is slender, almost elegant, and never quite in sync. Sometimes its legs move before its torso, or its head turns with a slight delay. It gives the impression of being half a second behind reality.
It doesn't usually attack first. It just stands there, watching, as if it's learning how the world works all over again. When it gets scared, the air around it distorts and everything becomes blurry, like looking through tempered glass. I imagine it as a skinny, light-colored lion.
I have to clarify that I imagine most of these creatures as holograms in the human-controlled world of Holozing; they are exact replicas, but we must never forget what they truly are.
Florasynt is very different, one of the few creatures that still vaguely remembers nature. It seems to be made of glowing plants, floating leaves, and flowers that don't exist in any ancient records. It's beautiful at first glance, but something doesn't quite fit. Its colors are too perfect, its shapes repeat, as if someone had copied and pasted parts of the design.
Florasynt is usually calm and even protective. It approaches damaged areas, injured humans, and creates energy fields that mimic life.
I imagine it as a sunflower in a field of flowers.
And finally! I want to introduce the concept of creatures modified to obey human orders in this world:
There's Pyrax-09, a creature that doesn't come from the past, but from the human present. It's not a reconstruction, it's a design. Its body is heavy, covered in hot plates, with a visible burning core in its chest.
Pyrax-09 is pure fire, controlled and directed. It doesn't hesitate, it doesn't observe, it doesn't learn. It does exactly what it was created to do. It's used to control dangerous areas and confront other creatures when they get out of control.
You can imagine it as a Stegosaurus; I really like those dinosaurs.
And that's all for now! Thanks for stopping by, and I hope to see your comments with more suggestions about what other creatures could be created.
