Nudibranchs, The colorful slugs of the sea!
I’m going to try and draw strange, or at least relatively less known animals regularly, then give a fun fact about them. Please tell me if there are any strange creatures you would like me to do : )
Fun Fact: They are carnivorous with very specific diets, most species focusing on only a single prey. The blue dragon nudibranch (center blue) consumes the venomous harpoon-like cells from the Portuguese man o’ war, than incorporates them into their own skin. Many other species of nudibranchs do the same with other highly toxic oceanic wildlife
A monster concept for a webcomic I’ve had in mind for a while now called Chaos Born. I’m finally working out some colored renditions creature and character designs now that I have a tablet to draw on. Anyway, here are my favorite little monstrosities I’ve designed to show up in the story...
MUNCHKINS!!!
Small children of the Avatar of gluttony, they are driven by pure hunger. They travel in packs from as little as 5 to an unknown maximum, with some accounts reaching into the hundreds. They will devour anything in their path including animals, minerals, dirt, buildings, or really anything. After eating an exuberant amount of material, munchkins will grow in size, or sometimes even fusing with other munchkins to create larger “Dark Young”, now with tendrils and newly developed hooves. Luckily for humanity, they are hard to summon into our universe, but if they were to enter our realm, we would be in trouble as they are quite durable. Mostly immune to gunfire and explosives with jaws capable of ripping through solid steel, on top of reaching top speeds of 20 mph, they are an obvious threat to anyone and anything around them
My fusion between Lapis and Peridot (She has four eyes under her shades)
Amazonite
(To be honest, there are a lot of designs out there that I like more than mine, but I felt like making my own anyway : P)

The Kakapo
Fun Fact: The Kakapo, (also known as the Owl Parrot) are the only flightless parrot in the world, along with being the heaviest living species of parrot, with the males weighing in at 4.4 - 8.8 lbs on average. They can live up to 95 years of age.
Unfortunately, this species is critically endangered, with there only being 142 living Kakapo in sanctuaries. Fortunately, conservation efforts have been raising their population, but they’re still short of numbers. Every Kakapo though has a name, which can be seen here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_kakapo
Hound of Morkai
An elite squad within the Space Wolves chapter, clad in reiver armor and decorated with runic totems and powerful markings of Fenris, the Hounds of Morkai are adept psyker-hunters.
My take at redesigning the current Hounds of Morkai to something more... substantial. I liked the idea of them resembling a Primaris version of the Deathsworn pack from the Horus Heresy. I then chose to give them both a Helfrost pistol and a Great Frost Axe to denote not only their proud Fenrisian culture, but also to highlight their role as an elite force through their access to better weaponry.
Steg Universe
I adore his design so much, I just had to draw him right away : )
Tiger’s Eye, a fusion between Jasper and Amethyst

(Don't forget total tomfoolery)
