Random critters, ahoy!

Some random critter graphics from a game that I'm sort of working on randomly.  Probably won't be done enough to get a demo release anytime soon (if ever), at least not before FYS:AHS and The K'hyurbhi Lands have demos and Okédoké is finished... but I'll still upload some random stuff.  Like these.

Dust Bunny

Seems kind of small and harmless, doesn't it? I haven't decided if this is an actual bunny or an actual dust-blob yet, if it's either of them.  I'm leaning more toward "actually a bunny" at the moment.

Either way, probably a low-level critter.


Pirate Earthworm


Arrrr, mateys! This one has a cutlass... how exactly a worm (which has nothing even vaguely resembling hands) can use a sword is unknown.  There's also one with a pistol, which seems even more unlikely considering that you need not just hands but fingers to work a trigger.  Also, it's wearing an earring despite not having any ears. XD

Serial Killer Pig


This one's actually based on a Burger King commercial that I remember seeing a while back.  It was advertising that they had ribs now, or something like that... and the advertisement had a pig, walking on two legs and carrying around a big casserole dish full of the new ribs.  Which... are made of pig. He's a serial killer pig trying to dispose of the bodies!

Man-Eating Pants


The bane of all pantsless drunk guys trying to get ready early in the morning, the Man-Eating Pants lie around on floors waiting for someone to try and put them on.  Since they're not too bright, they sometimes also bite at people who just try to pick them up (to put them in the laundry, for example) and can't put themselves into drawers or anything.
Devil-Fetus


Yep, the standard "floating demonic fetus with tentacled placenta o' doom."  There's an enemy like this toward the end of Okédoké, too.

I'm kind of disturbed by the fact that this time, I actually somehow managed to make this little thing look sort of cute.  If you ignore the tentacled goop.
Bloody English Mole


Another repeat appearance--the Bloody English Moles first showed up in my Earthbound ROM hack, though they didn't look quite so stereotypically British back then.  Tophat and monocle, tea, they even have the accent.  I would've given them a crumpet, too, if I actually knew what crumpets looked like.
Crispy Black Thing Fairy


A creepy old fairy thing that flies around with a bag full of "crispy black things," which she puts in people's bellybuttons as they sleep.  Sort of like the much creepier older cousin of the tooth fairy.
"Crispy black things" are based on a true story, by the way.  Probably not the fairy part, though.

Sea Elephant


A large aquatic mammal that swims through the oceans with its... ears.  Yep, sea elephants swim with their ears.  I figure they're also a bit smaller than land elephants, just based on what this thing looks like, even though sea critters are usually bigger than their land-dwelling equivalents.
