Winter Creature Suggestion: Furmantid

Had an inspiration to draw another creature suggestion.

About the Egg: The egg was delicately wrapped in warm furs to ensure it would survive the harsh winters. Eggs found with a kiss mark on them seem to be more likely to hatch for some unknown reason.

About the Creature:
The Coldworld is inhospitable to most insectoids; the Furmantid gets around the freezing temperature using clothing. Furmantids source the fur/pelts from their prey and use them to make various fur coats and accessories for themselves and their offspring. The coats of the furmantid vary in color based on the prey they are able to take down.

During mating season furmantids pool together all of the fur clothing they have made with their partners to ensure their offspring receive the thickest ones. This way their offspring have the maximum chance of surviving.

Habitat: Coldworld

Design Notes: The black lines were just to denote fur. Color pallet is flexible, but would prefer if they fit a colder environment.

@sulvas Aww I really like the teen-stage struggling with the coat, I feel like that fits so well! And the adult looks so warm and cozy.

The Furmantid is so cute and cozy!! ;u; I love the details you wrote on the image, how they use coats to stay toasty, and then... the kiss on the egg and then the lipsticked adult stage. So adorable! I relate to the teen struggling to get the coat on right. XD

I'd love if this was chosen! Btw, I put the species name on one of my creatures in case you'd like it (free of course)!

@matcha
Please check out this darling~
