Hi😊 #creaturesuggestions

Whew, after more than a month of being in the making, I present you... *drumroll*

Lettans (letter+transparent)

Description by me
About Egg
Lettans eggs are transparent, with letters in an unknown language written on their shells. SAR Center speculates that those might be blessings, names or informations that mother wants to communicate to the hatchling, but no definitive proof was found. After laying the egg, Lettans mother writes the letters on the egg and abandons it. If you listen closely, you can hear quiet humming from within the egg. The melodies are different, some dynamic, some mellow, each egg only knows one, but they seem to repeat among different eggs. Once the creature hatches, it becomes silent forever.

About Creature
Lettanses are one of the most mysterious creatures. SAR Center confirmed they appeared on Ark shortly after the Second Drowning. They are ghosts wandering around all of Ark, not staying in any place for long. They don't emit any sounds, no one knows how they communicate, and their bodies are covered with unknown letters and symbols. Depending on personal beliefs, many people have their own theories about what Lettanses actually are. Some say they are spirits of the ancient Nipha, some say they are inhabitants of another dimension, who for unknown reasons had to leave their home. Others see them as guardians of Ark, secretly preventing natural disasters or souls of those, who refused to leave the mortal world after their death. Some also think that the first Arkians used Lettans to transport mail by temporarily inscribing letters on their pelts. All of these portrayals of Lettans are very often present in art, as many creators are inspired by the dignity, beauty and mystery behind these creatures.

Was worth all that time, wasn't it? 😃 I think it was (do you guys mind getting pinged for the 2nd time?)

@asteria @wigglytuff

Yay! First opinion comment! 😃

Okay, I absolutely LOVE this creature! Beautifully drawn and so adorable, and I love the description. It gives this wonderful creature a mysterious back story that is amazing. Well done you two!! And feel free to ping me on all of your creature suggestions, guys. 😉 I enjoy reading them and will give my honest opinion.

Edit: I forgot to mention that I like the little ! on the Lettans' forehead. Cute touch, wigglytuff! 😊

@wigglytuff & @asteria

Love the design and description! ❤️
Especially like the intro to "the Second Drowning" as a possible backstory to ark if the creature gets made (don't think I've heard of it on site? 😱)

asteria • 2 April 2018 at 11:55 PM

@prairie Thanks 😊 It's mentioned in the Nipha description.

prairie • 2 April 2018 at 11:58 PM

@asteria

None the less, love it!! ❤️

amazing! it's a must have for me

isathebelle • 3 April 2018 at 8:24 AM

@asteria
As always your description is amazingly fabulous ❤️ Btw does this creature need have to be without any color at all ?? I know it should be transparent but perhaps outlined with light blue or another color!I'm asking you cos perhaps you wanted that way to @wigglytuff draw it?All in all, it looks really good congrats both of you.Yeah, I would still add a bit of color😃 my personal opinion of course.Good luck both of you!

asteria • 3 April 2018 at 9:00 AM

@icecloud101 Thank you ❤️
@isathebelle Thanks a lot ❤️ I didn't ask @wigglytuff to draw it that way, but I like it the way it is. If @wigglytuff wants to change something, that's up to her.

@wolfspike23 you like it? Thanks I guess 😃

@wolfspike23 Thanks 😊

skyfall4 • 3 April 2018 at 6:53 PM

@asteria @wigglytuff
Nice suggestion! I gotta admit, it reminds me of the Wisoki xD

asteria • 3 April 2018 at 7:20 PM

@skyfall4 Thanks! 😊 Hmm, Wiskoki is also a spirit cat, but I can't see other similarities.

skyfall4 • 3 April 2018 at 7:26 PM

@asteria
😋 That was the main reason xD

asteria • 3 April 2018 at 7:43 PM

@skyfall4 I see 😊 I still think Lettans is different enough.

skyfall4 • 3 April 2018 at 7:44 PM

@asteria
True, true 😊 I'd say it's a great suggestion 😸 ❤️ I would want one if it's ever made 😊

asteria • 3 April 2018 at 7:57 PM

@skyfall4 Thank you a lot ❤️

skyfall4 • 3 April 2018 at 8:01 PM
