    At least a monster that doesn't eat you up, but debuffs you. I love it + the spriting is cool + the art also. Good job.

    I love this idea. They seem iconic too, and very unique. I hope that, even if these don't win, they get implemented.

    Hey! this looks like metroids! Where they stick themselves onto your head! Is that where you got your inspiration for these?

    I love the concept and the art, i'm giving you +1 internets sir.
    Very nice idea indeed, i love the parasistic aspect of this monster.
    (And the fact that it will stick to your face will annoy everyone, making this absolutely awesome)

    These are basically the best things in the contest. Simple, iconic and really nice looking.
    If I was judging, I'd pick the Virorbs.

    Your support is overwhelming! Thank you!

    Now that i think about it Attack Fish, i suppose it was metroids that gave me the ideas for the parasitic aspect of the virorbs, but the design was loosely inspired by Solosis, a 5th generation Pokemon. As for my initial inspiration, I think it came from the idea of wearing a fishbowl on your head in terraria drowning you, and i thought what if a monster could do something like that. Originally the idea was that there was only one type of virorb and that it would only do that, but then other ideas entered my head and i figured out that one virorb should not have all those powers, so i gave it different variations.

    Anyway, I just scanned some more virorbs onto my computer, so hopefully i will be able to get another update done tonight! Expect to see a Psychic virorb, a Flower Virorb, a "Ring" Virorb, A UFO VIRORB :alien:....

    And this monstrosity.

    I really like this idea, it's going to be hard to top. Also, the air virorb's picture almost looks like it's smiling.

    Hmm, I should've checked this out sooner! I support Virorbs, although the name could probably use some reworking...

    Sphere-N-A? BioSlimes? Vire-orbs just doesn't roll off the tongue so well...
