[CREATURE SUGGESTION] ✨🦎 ✓ OBTAINED: Gachamori

opalquinze • 22 April 2023 at 7:44 AM

heya! been on EC for a while and thought i try to make a creature suggestion (with the help of @froot and @dragrawr)! this lil’ one’s named the Gachamori [gacha-more-ee] based on those prizes you get in gachapon machines, leopard/fat-tailed geckos, and the Japanese word for gecko (yamori)!





Weight:
0.08 kg

Height:
0.1 m

Obtained From:
The VEND Machine
Cave

Gender Profile:
Genderless or Standard

Habitat:
Unknown



About Gachamori Eggs:
This plasticky capsule is quite colorful compared to the ones residing within the machine; its many colors might catch a passerby’s glimpse to wonder if that one’s special.

Oh, what’s this? Seems like this isn’t just any regular capsule, it’s already rolling around from the warmth of your hands!

Congrats! Your prize is: a Gachamori!



About the Gachamori Creature:
What’s with this noise coming from the machine, you ask? Why, it’s a Gachamori that’s about to hatch soon! These little lizards move around in their eggs endlessly towards the exit, waiting for their soon-to-be owner beyond the metallic flap. How do these eggs end up within said machine? This certain aspect hasn’t been observed fully from the Science and Research Center, but it’s speculated that the artificially bright environment of Arkian arcades attract these eggs to camouflage within the capsule piles whenever a machine is running low in stock. If they’re unable to access one available, passersby will see either a few nudged between arcade cabinets or rolling towards a safer spot (the latter half may or may not have caused accidental slipping to citizens walking in their path).

The seam wrapped on the egg is to secure its plasticky halves from popping off as the surfaces it crosses may be rough! No worries if you think the little critter is unable to break out when hatching time comes, the seam is easy to tear apart by hand or with a nearby object to scratch against. Once it hatches, it’ll imprint onto the first Arkian it sees as its new owner! That’s not all! The Gachamori comes with a little slip of paper containing its new nickname, as it knows it by heart after spending such a long time within its egg. Please note: don’t roughly handle it when it’s freshly hatched, it needs time to chew the seam and capsule as they’re converted into nutrients for its tail beads.

Now settling within your palms after all that eating, what can a Gachamori do? Well, ever notice how there’s a strap on its back? That’s for them to dangle off the loop of your phone or the zipper of a backpack—it’s their version of hitchhiking and they’ll even rattle their tails to other Arkian creatures (plus their own) to show off their shiny beads that they’ve collected! They can also retrieve a toy of your liking within the machine—with a price of course. The price? A shiny bead. It may not seem like much, but Gachamori see these as prized possessions and may even decorate themselves more with them! Is the tail off limits? Of course not! Just be careful when you’re playing with your Gachamori’s tail, the beads can pop off easily!

Omg it’s so cute, we need this to be a real creature! I remember seeing gachapon machines in malls and movie theatres when I was a kid!

thx guys! i can only dream if this little one actually becomes real!

(also to pastelrabbit, same to me! of course, most of the time it was only a specific one in a mall where i used to live nearby)

daisycat • 22 April 2023 at 10:29 AM

@opalquinze
Such a clever idea, OQ! 😊
I love the color palette, the cute face, and the gecko-esque eye lick as they're assembling themselves lol. So adorable!

"Obtained From: The VEND Machine"
Omg. :,) Please, if this was also where it's obtained it would be soo perfect!

Personally, I'd prefer the H in "gachapon" to replace the Y in "yamori". So Gachamori instead of Gacyamori. It would be a more even use of each word, and, be spelled phonetically.

Thank you for the ping!

froot • 22 April 2023 at 10:30 AM

loved it when i saw it and still love it ❤️ hope to see it get made

opalquinze • 22 April 2023 at 11:17 AM

@daisycat
i actually don’t know if a newly released creature can be retrieved in the VEND machine (considering most of the creatures in there are a couple of years old), but it wouldn’t hurt to figure out if that’s possible!

also yeah, i can see how that slight change for the name flows better, so hope you don’t mind me changing it to that!

dragrawr • 22 April 2023 at 2:10 PM

@opalquinze @froot so happy to of helped out a lot on this gecko! Geckos are great and I really hope it gets made

It would be so special to get it from the VEND!!

Omg I love this creature so much and I think I would love to get this from the VEND machine!!

What do y'all think?

Ooh I already commented on this, but thank you for the ping! 🥰❤️

Edit: @opalquinze No, I don't mind if you change it! 😊

spell • 22 April 2023 at 2:50 PM

Wow it's so cute! Agree with @viviian that it would be super cool to come out of the vend machine ^^ But would love it equally as a regular cave/CSP monthly

opalquinze • 22 April 2023 at 3:11 PM

@spell
well, getting it from the Cave is listed under there (considering if i’m going by the lore that’s written, these little geckos would see the Cave as a safe place as well), but i wouldn’t mind it as a CSP monthly either!

@opalquinze
Oh. My. Goodness.
This thing is just..... ✨Precious✨
I love fat-tailed geckos, and the fact that the egg looks like a gachapon capsule is making me nostalgic..... I love it!! ^^
I also love how one of the ways to get this creature is from the VEND Machine..... Very clever👌🏼

Overall I love this adorable boi :>

The colours are so good and the eyes are so cute and the description is amazing and just everything is great

chihiro_sang • 24 April 2023 at 9:57 AM

Cute, it's like a fruit gecko.

opalquinze • 24 April 2023 at 10:13 AM

@chihiro_sang
i can see it colorwise, yeah! (tho i'm not sure if this one can eat fruit considering what it's based on, they can't)

noman15 • 24 April 2023 at 11:17 AM

The idea of a straight from a vending machine creature is cool, but kind of defeats the difficult to get rerelease nature of the vend machine.

opalquinze • 24 April 2023 at 11:33 AM

@noman15
that’s true, hence why from an earlier reply i did brings up the doubt if a newly released creature is possible to go towards the VEND machine (plus knowing that it does occasional restocks, it wasn’t my intention to decrease the difficulty for rereleases)

the key word is “if” from that doubt, so i’m totally fine if the Gachamori gets to be a Cave/CSP monthly instead

strawberry876272 • 2 May 2023 at 3:01 PM

I love it ~~
gives me a little nostalgia of when I used to make little gecko keychains with beads
I'd love to have one, I hope this get released
❤️
