This suggestion is meant to be in a Ocean or Water theme of a month or event. 😊 Also, due to details in the description, it might possibly be a good idea to create a sea urchin related creature; something I might possibly make a suggestion out of! (However, that's just a suggestion, not needed).


About Otsiker:
Otsikers are one of Ark's most popular ocean animals. As very social creatures, Otsikers tend to travel in "rafts". A raft of Otsikers is basically a Otsiker's family group. The largest recorded Otsiker raft by the SARC consisted of 548 individuals! Wow!
When Otsiker parents protect their eggs and young by wrapping them in seaweed and sea urchens, as well as groom the fur on the egg or baby to keep them afloat. The sea urchin is one of the most valuable animals to a Otsiker's survival. As Otsikers are immune to a urchin's poison, they provide a primary food source for the species; however, Otsikers have other creative ways of using their food. Instead of tossing away the venomous spikes of their food, Otsikers nestle them into their fur! This provides extra protection and a weapon towards any of it's predators, who are not immune to the urchin's poison.

As you might've guessed, this creature is heavily influenced by the Sea Otter! 😃 As much of a popular animal the sea otter is, I notice Eggcave doesn't seem to have many otter-related creatures other than the Oscoa and Ott (Otts are more River otter, thus from Ark river). 😱 We have alot of seal-related creatures though!

@prairie Looks great! If I hadn't read the description, I'd've thought it was a panther or something. But, it's really nice!

This is super cute and I love how it puts the spines in it's fur 😊
I think there should be just a little bit of seaweed int he final form to keep the pattern, but that's just me being a perfectionist. Your art is really pretty which makes this suggestion even more polished and appealing. I need to have this creature soon!
