  1. We have some really alien looking species right here on planet earth, but I do think that caterpillar is adorable.

    Y'know, I considered the idea that it could be a filter-feeder, and that intimidating mouth was merely full of baleen.

    However, I took another close look at the body. Beyond its coloration, there are no obvious characteristics of an aquatic or amphibious creature. No dorsal, caudal, or pectoral fins, no flattened tail or tail fins, and it's impossible (for me, anyway) to tell if those feet are meant to be claws, hooves, or flippers. It even has a segmented underbelly, which salamanders and most other amphibians do not. The body proportions in general are very similar to the bulkier terrestrial reptiles, like the gila monster or Bengal Monitor.

    This lead me to believe that this is in fact a terrestrial reptile-chimera species, which would likely be predatory.

    I'll admit, it's still possible for one or both of us to be wrong, but proving it conclusively would require an up-close look at the Basilope's jaws and feet, and I don't have a tranquilizer dart gun handy.

    True, at no point looking at it did it appear to be something that would swim well. I was thinking it would more likely be found in shallow waters walking along the bottom instead of swimming. The leg structure and such hinting that it may be readapting to aquatic life with recent ancestors being land based. I suppose the biggest evidence toward either theory would be the actual size of the creature when encountered compared to potential prey.

    Had not realised I had gotten so far behind with updating the OP, times been flying by recently.
    Anyway, updated the OP with all the new mobs. Put them in the incorrect order and missed out the tweets.

    ..Great job me.

    Great job you indeed! Thank you for updating and also for creating this thread. I love seeing things churned out by the "procedural generator." Wish I could have the game, though... :redpanda: (Red Panda agrees)

    I realize the devs are busy, and particularly mollygos who's trying to get all the Chucklefish games forums in order, but has anyone heard anything about today's Procedurally Generated Critter Of The Week?

    I wish I had a procedural generator for games, cause i'd run that thing until starbound popped out...

    I'm surprised there isn't more outrage at the lack of a random creature... :cautious:
    But I'm sure one will be posted when they get the chance.
    If not, then there's always next week.
