What creature would you guys make for DF if you could? :3
« on: December 22, 2014, 08:54:06 pm »

Hey guys, i'm trying to make a kind of creature pack that I plan to release later when all my creatures are made and ready to be released. I need help thinking of new creatures though, and I want these to be mainly underground creatures for the caverns.

So tell me, if you guys could create one creature, totally from your imagination, what would it be? And what could it do? (e.g. could it poison someone with a sting/bite, could it spin webs, etc.)

I'll credit anyone who helps me think of creatures. :3

I don't really have any creatures to offer, but I know of two threads that may give you some ideas.

One would be More abominations, taking requests.

The other is The Bestiary, a repository of user created creatures.

Thanks, i'll give those a look. Right now i'm making Faceless Stalkers and Wyverns, so i'm set for the next day or so. :p Or I hope anyway.

I'm going to work on adding a dragon-serpent-hydra thing I thought of a while back. Six hydra like heads, but with one eye and no mouth, but with a pair of horns, attached to a large serpentine body, covered in a shell, with a mouth on the shell. The mouth breathes dragon fire. When killed, it'd be butcherable and drop tons of gems.

A small arachnid-like creature that meanders, likes fighting and whose ichor induces a syndrome which causes everything that's not its kind to fall asleep. Its bite likewise causes unconsciousness. It cannot web.

Gizogin's fluffballs are also hilarious.

Ooh, actually a very good question. I can't think of anything I can't do at the moment.

Heh I remember making the thing those fluffballs were based on. I was testing what would happen if I made a creature entirely made from feather tissue (which you can't actually hit, everything just passes through), and if I could put zombies and other mindless creatures to sleep by having the syndrome remove the NO_SLEEP tag and inducing unconsciousness. Fun times indeed.

What I would make now... sapient, dwarf-grabbing cuttlefish! Like carp-of-old, only with camouflage and tentacles!

Because cuttlefish are awesome.

Some kind of Megabeast that would basically be some REALLY BIG animal, like Ants of the size of a Dragon, Owls at the size of a Roc or maybe a Carp at the size of a Giant Sperm Whale (Scary, huh?)

Can you make Slaanesh, Lord(ess) of Pleasure and Pain?

Ahhh~ She looked into your eyes,
And saw what laid beneath,
Don't try to save yourself,
The circle is complete.

Can you make Slaanesh, Lord(ess) of Pleasure and Pain?

challenge accepted: a giant humanoid made of very tough materials and with crazy strong healing rates to simulate the fact that he/she is a god(dess), with the OPPOSED_TO_LIFE tag, maxed out stats and an interaction which targets and makes a creature at a time within range OPPOSED_TO_LIFE (according to the lore if you gaze at him you won't be able to help yourself but worship him, though the "gaze" thing requires a bit more work). slaanesh is described as being literally half man and half woman (both halves inhumanly beautiful), but (s)he can take any form (s)he wants, be it male, female or anything, actually.

of course slaanesh will also have the  no fear, webimmune, no stun, trapavoid and many more tags so you can't cheat your way to victory.

Well then. Try making the Mirachat from some writing I tried to do. Hundred foot long serpentine creatures, with four centipede like arms at the top, with the head of a cat. Males have lion manes, females have massive sabre teeth. Their heads have fur, the rest of them is scaled. In water, they heal near instantly. On land, where they walk on their four arms, they heal slowly. Chat was borrowed from the french word cat, and Mira is how a kid I babysat says mirror. The Mirachat is the distorted mirror image of a cat, it is still as agile, it thrives in water, it hates being on land, they're just as vain as a cat, known to spare people's lives just for petting their heads, and have been observed healing from horrible wounds many times, like the nine lives legend.

Try that.

I would tell you, but I'm working on making my own creatures.

So I suggest you make some good-aligned critters, especially if they're for desert or wetland.

Oh, and giant blue whales.  Because a giant sperm whale is not enough whale for us.
