The goal of this assignment is to take each of our ideation visions and to merge them into one defined body of our creature.
MY VISION:
A bug-like creature with extendable arms and tunneling abilities that can traverse the branches and roots of tree systems to care for a forest.
GENIE’S VISION:
A humanoid creature with mushroom, samurai inspired outfit. It has a symbiotic relationship with roots and soil.
HALLIE’S VISION:
A humanoid being that transforms into a non-humanoid when it’s time to travel. It’s arms transform into roots to merge with the roots of the trees, which it uses to travel. Possibly has energy ball ability.
FINAL BODY:
Semi-humanoid creature, with the body and skeletal structure of a human including the spine, hips, and upright orientation. However, the rest of its body and presentation would be either more bug-like, or naturally based. It has sensors and doesn’t rely as heavily on vision. It has 4 arms with extendable limbs and rather than having sticky hairs at the end, it has a root-like hand with mycelium fibers on the end. These hands allow it to meld with the bark to traverse branches, or roots when traveling through the root system. It also potentially will be able to disguise itself as a mushroom as a form of camouflage.
Above you see an animation of how the extendable limb and root hands works.
