Do Creature Suggestions Still Get Considered?

pathogenia • 23 September 2026 at 10:20 PM

Hi all, as the title says, I actually love to draw and make silly ideas all the time. I would love to create some ideas the designers could use and make up some art for creature ideas that could be implemented here. (I understand this is with the caveat of those designs being interesting enough to be selected and developed into something new, of course, not everything can be actualized.)

I was wondering if there were any recent (within the last year) creature suggestions that had actually gotten adapted by the developers and what some of those might be. I know there's a Creature Suggestions forum, but since this isn't actually a post containing a suggestion figured I should post here instead.

Thanks!

(PS Edited to add this: thanks so much to the talented designers who drew all the art of this game. Your talent and time is incredibly appreciated)

@pathogenia
Yes, suggestions do still get considered! Though, not as often anymore it seems. I'll let someone else dig into what the recent ones have been. The selection of whose ideas get chosen seems mostly random or whichever will fit with a season or theme, save for some covert but obvious favoritism.

With that said, you should totally try your shot at suggesting some ideas! Especially if you love to draw and create things. I'd personally love to see, and the forums could benefit from some ideas from a new player! :-) Rather than the designs needing to be interesting enough, I think it's even more important to create something that feels almost totally new to the site (which in turn makes it interesting). There are lots of similar creatures, which is of course fine and is bound to happen with how many there are, so really fresh or unique ideas could definitely stand out. But be careful, if you do have a new and good enough idea, someone might rip it off in their own way and then theirs will get made instead for some reason.

@daisycat Thank you so much for the information!! This is really enlightening. I can completely understand trying to avoid repeat creatures, there are some ones on this site that do look kind of similar (lots of pink deer and cats for some reason haha).
I have an idea for an eyeball millipede kind of creature and some other really funky ones. Not for a holiday or anything, just to be silly and abstract. I will probably try posting them at some point; I'm not too worried about getting ripped off since I have confidence in my ideas and more importantly, the designers will probably redo elements anyways so if someone copied it it just means it's probably good enough hahaha!

@pathogenia
True, there'll definitely always be a lot of popular animals, like cats, dogs, dragons, etc. So it's understandable. I do want more bug creatures myself but I know that's a really polarizing thing, so I don't expect it too much. Your millipede design sound super neat! :-o Trying to recall millipede, centipede, or just myriapod creatures... Cetopia, Serpede, and kinda the baby Pixiee... Ophiledia little bit... might be forgetting some but we clearly need more. x)

@daisycat Dredging up this topic just to say thank you so much again, because you inspired me to actually post a suggestion in the forum! It was a fun project and I think it turned out cute.

Also rewriting my thanks to gngdia over here because it's good to know recent suggestions have been incorporated but I couldn't make a new post announcing I made the design unless I deleted that one.

@pathogenia
Aww I'm so glad to read this!! I'm gonna go check it out now. :-D

@pathogenia Just wanted to chime in and say as a returning player who started playing like over 15 years ago, I was shocked by a lot of the creatures I see now that I'm back on. There's some that are almost exactly the same as others (12 year old me would have totally ranted about that lol) and some which are... er... very interesting!

I'm going to support the egg cave artists and the player artists making suggestions. But, I will say that having a suggestion seems 100% achievable especially now that the site seems less busy than when I was a kid. Now my suggestion won't get buried, and maybe I'll achieve my dream of getting my art selected. I'm super excited to start submitting again.

I'm not super knowledgeable about the more recent creatures but I often look in the archives and see that some were suggestions from players. You should definitely give it a shot and your art doesn't have to be perfect to be selected! Even if you don't get selected, I'm sure it would still be great to share your art and idea for us to see.

@pathogenia As someone who had a few creature suggestions made back in the day, another thing I would add is even if something you made doesn't get attention/picked right away, you can always bump the topic! Just every once in the while or if there is an upcoming themed month (not sure if they still announce those ahead of time?) that you think your suggestion would fit! I originally posted the Postork topic in 2013 and the Yverosa one in 2014, and then bumped the Postork since there was a call for a bird themed month in 2017 and Yverosa for February 2018.
