One eyed and faceted are meeting a new friend! It is you!
Three dimensional scene for today. Based on one eyed from videogame Commander Keen for IBM PC MS DOS machines. I remember how I like them a lot, these funny creatures. So, one little eyes they have, it is big one. I and my bro always were sorry about a fact, that he is enemy. In this game. Game is platformer. And something about surreal theme. And such thinks like backrooms.
And this is my scene about a fantastic planet. Based on one eyed. And something strange as backrooms. One eyed alienated is inviting you to be his guest. He wants to show to you, his planet. In a fractal fragment – you will not understand. So, it has a very complex formula. Don’t take it into the head. They will transport you there. Show you everything. And send back to home. With a some error accuracy. So even for one eyed, little they are, it is sometimes hard to navigate into this space and amazing fars. It is another dimension. So do not fear about it. Something is similar. And something is very different.
One eyed come to your place to meet you with his friend. Faceted clever. It is a caterpillar. About ideas of planet Earth. But this is some idea to start. It is also something another. Do not take it into account now. Look what purple plants are growing here and red mushrooms. I think, you can see something like that at your planet. But not like this, in details. It has some difference. Mushrooms here can be so big. And you can climb at them. It can be a small little mountain. Can you imagine this?
One eyed is learning you with a details. By looking at you. And speaks – “I am green. I have one eye. And you have two eyes! And caterpillar has two eyes too.”
“So, soon, it will be sun raising here, and it will begins our day. So here it is warm! We can play in hide and seek, do you want?” - Ask you one eyed.
“There are lots of another one eyed types. So, simply, I just invite you as a guest. I am good and kind! And I am doing programming with Basic in a free time.” – speaks one eyed.
“Some mushrooms in this forest are very delicious” - says caterpillar.
“I have nothing against if you will name me as a caterpillar, but as for a real thing, I am eyeo faceted clever. But you are guest today. So let it be caterpillar.” – said caterpillar.
“Really, it is excellent when you have two eyes?” – said caterpillar.
“I am speaking about that to one eyed all the time.” – said caterpillar.
Everyone is smiling. So, lets go faster to our little house. There are already a table with a tea. Everything is ready. Let’s drink a tea! With a new friends!
Dima Link is making retro videogames, apps, a little of music, write stories, and some retro more.
Do you know what kind of cagerpillar this is? It was hitchiking on my son's shoulder for the longest before we saw it. Sorry for the low quality picture. This was found in SC.
It looks like probably a very early instar spicebush swallowtail butterfly caterpillar. They start out very tiny and a bit fuzzy and then look like bird poop for a bit and eventually turn into big dudes with spooky fake eyes before they pupate:
A collection of curious and interesting bugs to inspire you in your worldbuilding, campaign writing, or general lore.
You can check out the ones I did for Gemstones, Plantlife, and Fungi.
Feel free to share anything you make based on these, add your own interesting creepy crawlies, or share your own inspired creations.
Devil’s Flower Mantis
The Devil’s Flower Mantis is one of the strongest mantis, and is able to mimic orchid flowers with great accuracy. They use this camouflage along with a variety of natural skills to become intensely skillful hunters. By remaining still for great lengths of time, and lashing out with incredible speed, they snatch flies, beetles, and sometimes birds from the air before them.
Orchid Devil: A race of beautiful, tribal hunters that flourish in tropical jungles. Despite their large size and great strength, they are nearly silent, stealthy hunters who move delicately through the trees, bringing down their prey with speed and precision. A noble but fearsome race.
Mantis Sling: A delicate looking sling made of hardened carapace, used to sling poisoned darts with speed and stealth. A small but surprisingly powerful weapon.
Dasychira Pudibunda Caterpillar
Also known as the Pale Tussock, this bright yellow caterpillar looks cute from a distance with its spiky tufts of furry spines. However this cute creature has two sets of vicious mandibles that it uses to decimate swaths of trees in Denmark.
Tussock Ax: A two handed wood ax whose handle is wrapped with a strange, yellow fiber. This ax is able to fell trees with only two swings, and perfectly split logs with little effort, making it an incredible tool.
Elixir Dasychira: A sweet smelling but bitter tasting potion that stimulates luxurious hair growth. Made from the natural secretions of this incredibly hair caterpillar.
Giant Prickly Stick Insect
The largest known stick insect reaches up to 8 inches in length and is covered with large thorny spikes that double as both defensive armor and camouflage. It hides among leaves, but will rear up like a scorpion and exude a chemical to scare away predators.
Armor of Thorns: A set of hardened leather armor that is covered in thick thorns that stand on end when grappled or threatened, causing your enemies to take damage and bleed out the longer they endure.
Charm of Repel: This petrified bug serves a charm to repel predators and enemies more powerful than you by releasing a pheromone that induces fear and uneasiness.
Pipevine Swallowtail/Caterpillar
The Pipevine Swallowtail is a beautiful, fluorescent blue butterfly found in North and Central America. Their larvae, however, are a blood red color with visor-like eyes and rows of dull horns. As they mature they change color, and eat the poisonous pipevine plant, the toxins from which reside in their body as a safety precaution as they grow.
Swallowtail Armaments: A beautiful, vibrant, shimmering blue cape fit for the highest of courts, which can transform into a set of dull red studded armor.
Pipevine Poison: A bright red poison stored in an airtight container. It’s incredibly potent, as the smallest drop will lay out even the largest man. However it is very unstable, and exposure to the air will cause it to rapidly darken and congeal, becoming useless, until it shatters into a sparkling blue stone.
Hercules Beetle
Also known as the Rhinoceros Beetle, the Hercules Beetle is the strongest insect, able to carry 850 times its weight on its back without difficulty.
Herculean Pauldron: A hard shoulder piece carved from chitin that allows the wearer to heft up to ten times their usual carry weight.
Rhinoceros Beetle Mount: A gigantic beetle the size of a wagon, perfectly suited for carrying an entire 5 person party’s worth of supplies, and is able to traverse uncommon and difficult terrain.
Driver Ants
These small ants are unstoppable killing machines. Anger one and the whole colony will swarm and devour whatever is in their way. They kill and devour small animals using the incredible power of their jaws which will remain clamped, even if they die.
Driver Stitches: A number of small insect pincers that can be snapped shut with a slight amount of pressure, making them perfect for holding anything together, including wounds, pieces of armor, and more.
Swarm of Ants: A spell that summons a wave of vicious, carnivorous ants which will engulf any enemy in their path, incapacitating them and steadily devouring their flesh til they fall.
Hummingbird Moth
This adorable moth has evolved to resemble a hummingbird with it’s round body and “tail” at the back. This moth is diurnal, operating during the day, and beats its wings incredibly fast, making it easily mistaken for a hummingbird by a casual observer.
Winged Boots: Small ankle boots made of soft tan suede with beautifully vibrant insectoid wings on the sides. These boots grant the wearer great speed, allowing them to move almost twice the distance in the same time.
Hummingbird Pendant: A delicate pendant made from glass and wood that depicts this adorable moth, lending the user unparalleled grace and charm, but only in traditionally “cute” manners.
That’s all I have for the fourth part of this “series”. As I said above - feel free to add your own inspired pieces, weird bugs, or just share some ideas!
