I adore seeing all these unique creatures on EggCave!! ❤️

daisycat • 25 Jan 2023, 12:03 AM

Beautiful! I love kookaburras. *o*

heatherm19 • 25 Jan 2023, 12:04 AM

Man I'm having so much fun with CRW!! I've only used 13 of the free approaches so far and I haven't gotten a Dacelo but I did get *two* Wolluks and a Hoxrin! Can't wait to see how this kookaburra-inspired creature turns out!

dragrawr • 25 Jan 2023, 12:04 AM

Fun fact about me, i can recreate Kookaburra calls!

lothar • 25 Jan 2023, 12:07 AM

It's nice to meet animals around the world XD Love this CRW

twinkle • 25 Jan 2023, 12:09 AM

Bird!! :0

subie • 25 Jan 2023, 12:10 AM

so excited for and in love with all these new creatures!

snowywinter • 25 Jan 2023, 12:16 AM

okay, this is only my 2nd CRW here, and don't get me wrong I love my fungi chicken, but i am LOVING this CRW so far! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

dragrawr • 25 Jan 2023, 12:19 AM

@snowywinter ikr, this has gotta be my fave crw besides the dragons thus far

pet_cemetery • 25 Jan 2023, 12:20 AM

Ooh a Kookaburra. For some reason I immediately thought of an old song I have no idea where i heard it from or ever the rest of the lyrics. Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree, eating all the gumdrops he can see

dragrawr • 25 Jan 2023, 12:27 AM

LINK to the CRW 2023 forum post, here you can post your CRW creatures and discuss all sorts of stuff! It's super helpful ❤️

snowywinter • 25 Jan 2023, 12:32 AM

@dragrawr just combed though the blog archives, and while some other CRWs have some of my individual favorites, I agree that 2017 dragons was the best overall! : D (Until maybe now. I think it's going to be debatable/ a toss up.)

snowywinter • 25 Jan 2023, 12:33 AM

And fun, don't forget that the CRW 2023 thread is FUN ^^ < 3 Thank you for hosting it!

daisycat • 25 Jan 2023, 12:34 AM

@pet_cemetery Ooh it reminds me of The Wiggles song too. XD "Kookaburra Choir"

dragrawr • 25 Jan 2023, 12:42 AM

@snowywinter Ofc ! It is my pleasure! I adore hosting forums and being able to interact with a community I love dearly! Yeah! I loved the 2017 dragons sm but then again Im a dragon enthusiast so Im a lil biased hehe

nut • 25 Jan 2023, 12:47 AM

really enjoying the theme of real world animals so far, I feel like its giving biology textbook illustration 😊 in a good way ofc

heatherm19 • 25 Jan 2023, 12:53 AM

@pet_cemetery That sounds vaguely familiar, I think I've heard that song somewhere before.

shirothekittehlover • 25 Jan 2023, 2:03 AM

oH MY GOD BIRB :00000

sartre • 25 Jan 2023, 2:35 AM

I love my little kookaburra 🥰

metaphor • 25 Jan 2023, 5:44 AM

OMG !!!! I AM OBSESSED WITH KOOKABURRAS. Approve 100%

sparklefox • 25 Jan 2023, 6:27 AM

The stages feel a little "samey", but I'm still liking it regardless. Kookaburras are pretty cute.

idol • 25 Jan 2023, 10:40 AM

I agree a few of the stages don’t really look any different. I also really love the theme but personally none of these pets stand out in any way to me like, That is definitely a CRW creature like when we had the theme of dragons or something.

idol • 25 Jan 2023, 10:41 AM

Like just something that made them seem like more special like a wow factor than the creatures we regularly get.. But I’m still happy to add these zoo type animals in my cove ^^ Been pretty lucky so far myself!

wonder404exe • 25 Jan 2023, 11:34 AM

Whats my luck today? Awful. Except for Unixi and Borb nothing else ;_; WHERE DID ALL THE 25 ATTEMPTS GO!?!!?!

heatherm19 • 25 Jan 2023, 11:44 AM

Honestly, after looking at all the stages, I agree there doesn't seem to be much difference between the stages. It doesn't actually look like 'evolving'/growing at all, just different poses (kid and teen stages seem to just be opening the wings...) They are pretty, but yeah.

dragrawr • 25 Jan 2023, 2:29 PM

@heatherm19 @sparklefox @idol I also agree, but then again I think it’s relatively meant to just show the animal itself. Although I will agree it doesn’t seem to grow just immediately fully adult bird out the egg

pet_cemetery • 25 Jan 2023, 2:46 PM

the stages are the same They should made the first stage a chick. Look how cute they are as babies https://pokefarm.com/upload/:GyT/unnamed/EUamQNmUEAA1vGw.jpg

pastelrabbit • 25 Jan 2023, 3:14 PM

Ooh I wonder if they’ll have a capybara creature for South America, I got a Unixi yesterday. And a couple wolluks, and one birdie today

idol • 25 Jan 2023, 3:35 PM

@pet_cemetery That is so cute : o @pastelrabbit Oooh I hope we get a capybara that would be really cool!

brookie • 25 Jan 2023, 4:07 PM

Love these creatures so far! 😊

daisycat • 25 Jan 2023, 5:05 PM

@subie My comment got deleted, so I guess we're not allowed to say anymore.

Orderedchaos • 25 Jan 2023, 5:08 PM

All stages for all these creatures will be revealed at the end of CRW. Let's keep the surprise factor around until then and not publicly share how to see unreleased stages.

idol • 25 Jan 2023, 6:00 PM

Plenty of time everyone ^^ How is everyone doing on their CRW? Got at least one of each creature yet?

twinkle • 25 Jan 2023, 6:32 PM

For anyone having no luck obtaining a CRW pet, my adoption center might have one looking for a good home! 😊

prairie • 25 Jan 2023, 8:33 PM

I liked the Krill alot, simply because it had a 'unique' factor to it. I won't lie and say I don't like these creatures though - I love the art. But I do wish there was something that makes them more than *just* the animal

stefrawr • 25 Jan 2023, 9:29 PM

I was able to find one today, yay!!

dragrawr • 25 Jan 2023, 11:19 PM

@prairie I couldn’t agree more. I was maybe hoping they would at least make hybrids of two or three rare species or perhaps mixing it with the flora in that region.

dragrawr • 25 Jan 2023, 11:20 PM

Every props to the artist. It is gorgeous to see this art style, and I love the eggs. I appreciate the release week hype and I’m still having fun, perhaps just a little more diversity rather than just the inspiration. ❤️

heatherm19 • 25 Jan 2023, 11:23 PM

@dragrawr Ohh hybrids of multiple representative animals for each continent would have been so cool! I love hybrid animals in mythology, it would be cool to see how creative Eggcave would get with something like that.

dragrawr • 25 Jan 2023, 11:27 PM

@heatherm19 yeah ! I am still extremely grateful, but it would’ve been cool to see this artists creativeness ! ❤️ like for Asia I was thinking of a tiger mixed with a pangolin ! Just a thought

idol • 25 Jan 2023, 11:29 PM

Maybe that could be a monthly theme then for the creatures? I would love some hybrid animals as well ^^

dragrawr • 25 Jan 2023, 11:31 PM

@idol I plan on suggesting some hybrids in the future, I think an “animal fusion” month would be cool. Don’t get me wrong I love when the creatures are completely wacky like the cobertor Also what would be fun is a player suggestion CRW- new suggestion every day

idol • 26 Jan 2023, 12:13 AM

@dragrawr Oh I agree that would also be a pretty cool theme =o That would be awesome I ca not wait to see! If I can ever find my iPad pencil I might try to suggest one as well. I made a fusion animal awhile ago I could seed try to make other stages. What a good idea!

dragrawr • 26 Jan 2023, 12:22 AM

@idol I'd love to see your art as well!! I love supporting other artists work on here, and sometimes if people can't draw an idea/write a desc I love to be included and help them on occasion ❤️

twinkle • 28 Jan 2023, 7:33 PM

For anyone who still hasn’t gotten a dacelo, my adoption center has them available to a new loving home ❤️

sony • 3 Feb 2023, 1:15 AM

BIRB REPRESENTATION!

mightyeglantine • 3 Feb 2023, 2:51 AM

Woot! Cute Creature!

kediset • 3 Feb 2023, 9:47 AM

love the design of this creature ❤️

thegeek • 3 Feb 2023, 10:15 AM

I love the blue speckling!
