Colliope@Grace: "HEY, DON'T YOU LOOK VERY SMALL AND BREAKABLE? What's you name, tiny thing?" Colliope attempts to 'greet' Grace by slamming her hand on the ground next to her with a big smile on her face.
I saw one of the original designs for Wardens and decided to give it a shot and see how Colliope would look. Some lore about this Warden under the cut!
The original species of Warden are different from the one we know today, though both are equally deadly, but for different reasons. While both are heavy hitters, the Warden we know today is known for protecting treasure, while the original Warden is a deadly pathogen.
There is no known cure as the presence of the Warden is rare and difficult to contain, causing scientists to only have access to two test subjects in total. The course of infection goes as follows:
Spores or sculk fruiting bodies enter the blood stream through inhalation or an open wound on a player.
A week after exposure, the victim starts to get what has been referred to as “cave frenzy” where they seek out deep cave systems and stay there for increasingly long spans of time until about one month has passed. During this time, the victim seeks out the deepest part of their cave system. If not allowed to go into a cave system, the individual seeks out the lowest and darkest point they can reach and will resort to digging if necessary.
At the 10-day mark, infection starts to appear on the victim's body as a type of moss on their extremities. Victims do not report seeing the moss, and instead insist they be released to go mining. Horn like protrusions start to grow from the top of the skull and under the jaw. All hair begins falling out. Victims, again, do not react to these changes.
At the 15-day mark, the infection has spread to the forearm and calf while skin begins to slough off at the joints. The horns have grown bigger and the victim's head appears to be turning sideways without their knowledge. All forms of communication are limited to asking about cave systems, and the victims appear to show increasing levels of aggression. Eyesight is no longer functioning and the individual only responds to sound.
At the 20-day mark, the victim's head has turned totally sideways. The calf and forearm have been enveloped by infection and have grown in mass with the arms elongating and the legs shortening. The only thing connecting the extremities to the host body is exposed bone. Due to the difference in limb height, the individual has an arched back and has started growing a tail like protrusion from the base of their spine. All hair has fallen out and the strength of the individual has doubled.
Day 25, the individual is no longer capable of intellectual conversations, but has been noted to speak in broken sentences to lure in other players. This was noted when one of the captive Wardens started to cry and ask for help while using a young girl's voice. A scientist was left unattended and entered the creature's enclosure, only to get infected himself. This is when the second test subject was acquired.
Day 30, all remnants of the individual's old life is gone, and the infection has taken over. If no living creature is present, the Warden will stand in one spot and not move. If the Warden stands in one spot for too long, sculk infection will grow on the floor. While the creature attacks anything that makes noise, only players have been observed being infected. All facial features have either melted into the creature's face or become numbs on their body. Holes have grown on the Warden's chest to release spores and spread the infection.
The disease has been labeled a fungal infection. It is unknown how the pathogen entered the world, but portal-shaped structures have been noted in ruins overtaken by sculk fruiting bodies. Extra caution is needed when entering the ruins to prevent spore inhalation and to not alert any nearby Wardens. No potions or medication has been able to prevent or delay the rate of infection. When analyzed closer, it would appear that the sculk fruiting bodies are not made of the same coding as other mushrooms that appear in the world.
Ono : What would you do If you would get out of the caves?
@ask-theiceologer
Colliope: It’s... A lot?? I have to prepare myself to go onto the surface.
In the caves I can see everything. I know where the ceiling is, where the walls are, but on the surface there is none of that. The caves carry my echolocation, so I can see farther, but in an open space I can see very little.
But! Even if I can’t see, I can eat! Being on the surface, I get a free meal almost always because of the sun, even if I can’t see it.
As for what I’de do? I dunno. Get a free snack. Wander, try to find some people to talk to.
I have now officially reached 100 followers and want to thank each and every one of you. The support has been lovely. 💜

1st prize is full body with full shading
2nd prize is half body with full shading
3rd price is a headshot with full shading.
Please don't follow then unfollow just for the event. ✨️
The amount of anxiety in this girl is insane. The level of stress in her body has proved to be toxic to her plant parts, causing her leaves and branches to wilt and die. Her horn started to grow as a mark to cover her face, defensive thorns wrapping around the now-dead material.
(If you're still up to it) fuse Raki and Colliope 👀

The sweet, androgynous heart throb. Something inside them keeps them hot at all times, but their extremities are always cold. They are totally not afraid to flip their hair and bat their eye to get what they want.
