Hats are only cosmetics ... But! this isn't Just a hat!! i think, even making a similar thing (a predator-'like' animal/Alien) that attaches itself to you as a leach would but instead of draining its host of life, it enables it Enhanced capability's in catching Prey, effectively feeding itself.. - night vision - speed - Strength/Agility however there would have to be some sort of Animal-is-tic action/drawback (depending on the way you look at it).. like maybe the animation for eating food would be .. unpleasant .. as an example' anyway .. just my thought's Otherwise Great work' would be nice to see some Pixel art too!
Well, alternatively it would just be a creature that has different functions when tamed, like when its wild it just noms on your head and makes you blind, but when its your pet, it just hangs around on your head and provides these functions as described. However its fine if its just a hat, it can be a low-maintenance pet. edit: I've been avoiding pixels because I am not very good at low-res pixelart, the constrained lines and compression of details is very hard to do..!
Dammnit! I was planning to do a sorta parasitic type creature on ones head. Ah well! Yours was more thought out and prettier. Good luck.
Im sure there is room for more than one type of parasitic head-accessory. (even though the relationship between the squid and the host is actually commensalist, as the host does not suffer from the interaction, and if the squid was a functional piece of equipment, it would be a symbiotic relationship instead.)
May the maddest hatter win, I say! I was thinking about redoing the main illustration to be more consistent with the cuter color-illustration, but laziness is a hard mistress. (Thanks everyone!)
I really like it i think this is the best i have seen so far i would totally go out of my way to get this hat
