Creepy crawly Creature Suggestion: the Velwurm

redflipflap • 8 October 2023 at 6:20 PM

Hello, hello Arkians! I present to you today yet another creature suggestion that is way too niche!

Art: https://www.deviantart.com/redflipflap/art/Eggcave-Creature-Suggestion-the-Velwurm-986989397

About the art:
This guy is inspired by a tropical velvet worm, and tropical indeed he is!

About the Velwurm:
These guys look almost as plush as a throw blanket. Young Arkians often try to find these creatures under big, mossy rocks and under rotting wood. Scientists were shocked to discover these invertebrates and their stunning colors!

Height: 3in
Weight: 0.5oz
Habitat: jungle; specifically under rocks

Thank you for taking a look at the start of my bug collection via Creature Suggestions!

Pings: @daisycat @dragrawr @wonder404exe @thedarkarcher

@redflipflap
What a colorful cutie! That's a nice feature to have varying colors in each stage (and all so pretty). The Velwurm would be a lovely addition to my cove's bugs, I would gladly accept. 😃 I love the pudgy legs that velvet worms have. x)

Thank you for the ping, Sarah!

@wonder404exe I really thought about making him look like a gummy worm tbh. Oh noooo I hope this doesn’t inspire something 👀👀👀

(Cough sneeze Eggcave team, what are your thoughts on an entirely bug themed Halloween achoo cough

@redflipflap Another great suggestion! I like the way the colors change 😊

(A gummy worm would be ADORABLE)

@redflipflap The design is simple, but I really like it! The colours look really well together. 😊 It reminds me of a slug and I like slugs and snails. 😃

@redflipflap The image link isn't working for me, you should update it so we can push for worm month 2024.

@sulvas fixed! sorry 'bout that!

Giving this interesting pet a boost, though the picture link still isn't working.

This fuzzy grub sounds interesting, but I wish I knew what the design actually looked like.

@chihiro_sang @noman15 okay try now!
