<3 Valentine's Day Creature Suggestion: The Candyfin <3

redflipflap • 12 December 2023 at 10:30 PM

Hello, hello fellow Arkians! It's almost that time of year where love is in the air and you try to convince yourself that candy hearts are still tasty. Well, you don't have to worry about that anymore. A new creature discovery was made that might make you question if you ever eat those chalk-like candies again (I said what I said).

Art: https://shorturl.at/yHIU6

About the Candyfin Egg:

The Candyfin egg has a strangely crumbly texture on the outside of it, and it's important that it's kept out of the rain. It also has a sweet smell to it, many folks call it nostalgic. Arkians are unsure where the smell comes from and can't quite place their fingers on it.

About the Candyfin creature:

Once the Candyfin hatches, it tends to school with other of its kind, getting up to crowds of nearly 100 other creatures. It is also known to hang around Sparktails, as they surprisingly have the same diet. However, Candyfins have many more predators than other sealife creatures do, due to its super sweet taste.


Thank you all for checking out my latest creature suggestion! Any kind words or feedback are greatly appreciated.

Sweet (pun semi-intended) and simple, I love it :]
If the Pixices wasn't released a few months ago it'd also be a good fit w/ this critter I think :0

@redflipflap SO SO CUTE!! ❤️
I'll probably freeze this cutie at egg stage but I also loove the colors of the child stage 😊

redflipflap • 12 December 2023 at 11:11 PM

@redflipflap
Thank you for the ping!

Just too cute I could eat it up. I'd love to have this in my cove. I really love fish and food-themed animals. Sweet description, too.

It reminds me of my creature suggestion, the Chaseheart! It's also Conversation Heart themed and the egg is a Conversation Heart. The user who I collaborated with is apparently not allowed to make creature suggestions and I was informed that I have to redesign everything and repost it for it to be considered. Understood, but it's sad because the only "collaborative" part of it is that they asked me to create a butterfly creature with pink and red wings for Valentine's Day. I did the rest. So it's unfortunate my design, description, everything... gets wasted. Maybe my candy heart creature can live vicariously through yours.


Edit: For anyone who wants a quick link to see. :,)

I hate these candies with a passion irl. I would love to have a candy fish to bully by feeding it a diet strictly compiled of gummy fish items. You have my support o7

Cute, a sweet heart fish is an interesting Valentine's idea.

cho • 16 December 2023 at 2:39 PM

@redflipflap LOVE IT!!!! I need more fish in my cove, i would hate for it to be like chalk if i ate it as a candy but out of curiosity, what is the flavour....? is it like a sour peach or sour lime? rooting for this to get made!!!!

redflipflap • 16 December 2023 at 2:42 PM
