if you put your gloves up against it, you can feel a pulse...

does that mean it's still alive in there?

here's the silly little pikmin wraith I've been holding hostage in my brain.

meet the amber wraith!

for visualization, he's an amber-orange color (obviously) and takes on the form of a wormy fella. his core is shaped like an egg and is a glossy black color with two glimmer (✨) shapes on each side of the egg, with the pointy end turning and twisting around inside the goop whenever he wants to focus on something.

this guy is a WEAKLING. unlike other wraiths, his body can't absorb mass normally since he has ZERO digestive enzymes and he can't quite solidify himself aside from a sort of 'squishy but not goopy' form. that means his core is very very vulnerable.

BUT. he has a gimmick.

he's able to possess creatures up to ten times his size, and use them as a sort of puppet/mouth so they can digest food FOR him, like a parasite. and his core is buried somewhere in there so he has a better defense.

he can trap creatures in place by surrounding them and forming a little structure similar to hydro jelly in terms of consistency, but this takes up his own goop. this is either to 'wear' them for later or come back controlling a host so he can eat whatever he's trapped.

I made a silly little thing where he sort of kind of is holding an entire human being hostage.

not a captain. a human.

he originally had a lot more mass coming onto PNF-404 but the gravity didn't allow him to keep much of his form, so he had to shrink down. with all the excess mass he couldn't carry around, he trapped a perfect candidate to be 'worn', a human that, unfortunately, happened to be around! and yes, it was scared! very scared!

so now he's just holding it hostage until the time is right to bring it out, since when trapping creatures, it has a unique ability to act like a time capsule and prevent creatures from moving or aging without needing food or water.

this is because it has regenerative properties! so he's not just holding a human hostage, he's molding it to become the biggest, baddest beast. he's done this before with other creatures, but he's taking his sweet time perfecting his 'weapon,' as he likes to call it. so PNF-404 has plenty of time before some horrid, gigantic, ancient beast is unleashed by a crazy mass of orange goop. also he forgot that humans were sentient and overrid it's brain, essentially wiping its memory and turning it into a stupid two-legged monster. oops!

luckily, on every creature he possesses, there's a cute little weak spot somewhere marked by a little splotch of orange goop. since it's vulnerable to most elements, attacking it enough times will cause him to lose mass and in turn, lose control of whatever body he's currently using if attacked enough times, and he'll be ejected from the host and needs to run away. plus he sucks at controlling beasts and they are usually slower than normal whenever he's controlling them, especially on larger species like bulblaxes. so the human he plans to possess is going to be hella slow, slow enough to give whatever fearless soul(s) brave enough to face him a good chance at defeating him.

for now though, he's just hiding in his cave plotting evil stuff. he's not good at it, but he's still evil.

since he can't solidify like other wraiths, he can't mimic captains. but what's to stop him from possessing one? nudge nudge

piksona garbage nerd stuff

when Beatrice was allowed to stick around Jade and Ken's ship, she'd often be found drawing in the dirt. this was her only form of communication with them besides making gestures and playing charades

after they made contact with the Rescue Corps, she'd spend a lot more time interacting with castaways and learning about starfolk along with other stuff on the surface

here are some of her interpretations of starfolk as time passed by

gen 1 was early on after noticing the similar spacesuits that Dale, Ken and Jade wore, lumping their appearances together into a simple shape.

gen 2 was slightly modified to show that she understood that they were wearing spacesuits and not just the spacesuits themselves. she was able to differentiate them just fine but unable to express herself when wanting to specify someone in particular.

gen 3 was after they met up with RC, and she studied the different features on many of the castaways, now able to specify individuals when communicating.

gen 4 was the final stage of her drawings, expressing individuals as well as showing their unique appearance. this proved her understanding of starfolk, which led to everyone being a little less wary of her as she spent time around the command post

when communicating an interaction she had with a starperson early on, she'd emphasize the difference in size because she didn't fully understand starfolk yet. later on, she portrays them noticeably shorter, but chooses not to make them appear smaller as she gets a better grasp of what and who they are.

the same thing applied when drawing other subjects, ranging from creatures to structures and even some treasures/food.

some unique drawings expressed her more complex memories and experiences.

-the drawing of Beatrice trapped in amber suggests that she recalls being possessed/held captive by the Amber Wraith

-the starperson in her hand shows her being able to locate castaways via the SOS signals when venturing out and offering them to the RC

-the pikmin attacking the bulborb is her simply observing her surroundings and watching nature in action

-the more humanoid figure without her traits may depict the average individual of her kind, reflecting her understanding of what she is herself.

other drawings mostly include basic portraits of castaways she's bonded with and drawings of creatures fighting/interacting.

the only other notable responses that she has to interactions is when drawing the symbol on the Amber Wraith near her, she will be inclined to erase it or ignore it.
