There are so many unique creatures on egg cave, i kinda wanted to make just a simple creature, so I came up with the Gami. I hope you like it. 😊

Link(updated)- http://cha-cing.deviantart.com/art/Creature-Suggestion-Gami-553714169?ga_submit_new=10:1439583251

As @kisamari said below it would be amazing if by depending on how you take care of it, the Gami would turn into different origami shapes.

Stage 1 - 150 clicks
Stage 2 - 222 clicks

It should be a common in the cave

Habitat- Ark City? Maybe?

Egg description-
Gami egg look very similar to crumpled balls of paper. Because of this many Gami eggs end up in ark city trash cans and dumps. Many Ark citizens frequently see flocks of adult Gami rising out of trash cans.

Creature Description-
Gami slowly unfold themselves, then start refolding into the shape of a origami swan. They can only slightly move while undergoing this process.
Gami, strangly don't mind their owners writing on them. Many owners enjoy decorating and showing off their Gami. It is very rare to see a pure white Gami.
Gami are constantly tested at the SAR center. The SAR scientists discovered that they are not in fact made of paper, but extremely thin bone. So thin that's they can float easily on winds. They also discovered the strange heart shape on them is the life source of the Gami. If punctured or ripped the Gami dies instantly. Owners must be very careful.
Sadly Gami are very fragile and don't live very long. Regardless Gami are simple, and loving pets to take care of.

Feel free to make suggestion to add on to this 😊 I'm seriously not 100% sure of this creature...

This is cool. Living origami! Yes!!

I say, give it some default design, not just blank sheet of paper. Like, give it eyes, some pattern for its wings and tail-some color basically. Don't know how you would fit this into the description, but I think this creature needs to stand out a bit more than it does now. Maybe the designs are: cracks in the bones (that's bad though...), bone marrow showing through the thin bones though not existing outside of the bone, blood/life fluids, veins, etc. They don't have to be explained as being such things, you could use different words to explain their functions, for the the more squeamish Arkians.

Love the description! Really convincing and simple way to explain how what seems like origami can be living. Perfect!

I really like it! Its so simple, but also sweet. I hope to see it get released!

@dragonn and @pupicorn
I updated the creatures looks and some of the description, if you want to see. 😊

@queens Very cute, I like it ^^

Struck an idea though, would it be possible for EggCave to have branching creature evolutions? Such as depending on how you care for your Gami (50+ toys, food items, etc) it would evolve into different origami shapes?

@kisamari
Thanks 😊
Ooooh that would amazing. You should really make a suggestion about that. (I would but it's not my idea)

spiritkoi • 14 August 2015 at 4:47 PM

@queens I really like this creature! When I started I kind of played around with a similar idea of an origami creature, but I really like how you approached it!

The description is also nice. ❤️

@spiritkoi
Thanks ❤️

Oh, awesome! I love what you added in the description! The Arkian involvement helps flesh out the world as well as this species. Plus, it'll still pop visually.

I'm a fan of the eyes, it's heart, and the pretty tail, not so much the smileys, only because the Arkian who drew on this Gami seemed uninspired, hehe. I would've put a floral pattern on the wings, but that's just me. 😋 Obviously the drawings would be different on each one, but the default/wild ones would probably be blank. Except for the heart, right? And maybe the eyes and tail?

queens • 14 August 2015 at 7:00 PM

@dragonn
Yep the heart eyes and tail would still be there.

In the last evolution it doesn't look extremely fragile so I would change that but if you don't want criticism ignore this.

@queens I really hope egg cave would allow the different variants, it would be so unique. I really love envisioning them flying out from the trash cans, that's a detail that really brings it to life. Kind of sad that people can't figure out the difference between pets and trash though..

I get how people think it should have more illustrations, but I kinda feel like that's the point of origami, to keep it simple and enjoy the shapes. I like the small details. But hey, colored paper wouldn't hurt. Either way, good luck!

queens • 16 August 2015 at 5:52 PM

@saphira1oo
Thank you for your opinion, but may I ask how it looks more unfragile than the others?

@lenamilove
Thank you 😊

possiegal • 16 August 2015 at 6:08 PM

very good i like it.
@queens its unique

saphira1oo • 17 August 2015 at 8:44 PM

@queens Well.. it looks like its boxing I don't know if that's the effect you're going for, if it is, then its great.

queens • 17 August 2015 at 8:52 PM

@possigal
Thank you 😊

@saphira1oo
Sorry, but I'm kinda confused. What do you mean by "boxing" ?

saphira1oo • 18 August 2015 at 2:45 PM

@queens boxing as in.. fighting
