    OK so i made something called a Crystal Lurker. These little guys like to embed themselves in the ground near crystals and most certainly don't like it when you touch the crystal on their back. They are made of crystal but build a stone shell to help them blend in with their surroundings. I'm not really sure what their attack could be( maybe a beam or a rolling attack).I am really hoping there are some giant crystal caves in the game otherwise this little guy might have a hard time blending in.

    it needs more of a story behind it and the art needs clear definition that its a creature it sorta just looks like a hunk of quarts , but good job

    Interesting, I like it, and I agree with Every Human, its a good idea just maybe a little more added to the pixel? Some concept art (drawings) would be great as well! :)

    I'm assuming they're sorta like mimics? I'd put a crab/spider-like thing on the underneath of it, using the crystal exterior as sort of a shell. But that's me.

    Sorta like mimics but they are just trying to mind their own business. If a person were to confuse them with a common crystal deposit and try to break off a piece they will become angry and attack.
    Sadly i have no concept drawings i heard about the contest and made the sprite. If needed i can maybe come up with a bit of back story and lore behind them.

    Heh, crystal mimics is a trend! :D
    We should work together and we'll surely win!

    Ah, so a natural defense rather than a predatory mechanism. Always neat, since there's plenty of creatures that do the same.

    Who knows maybe we can get an entire biome/planet going.
