An attempt at another fanspecies ! Like I said the other day, I wanted to make a creepy looking fanspecies and here’s what I eventually came up with. Meet Edra(Alecto), a red Husk. I was inspired by my actual true love from World of Horror (Something Truly Evil) to make this fanspecies, but also I wanted to make a species that can act as a foil for the Florlorns. Whereas Florlorns are creatures that thrive in daylight and are closely tied with plant life, Husks are more active in the dark and are mostly associated with minerals.
They inhabit the same planet as Florlorns, but they don’t co-exist. Florlorns live strictly within the borders of the Safe Haven while Husks live in what is known as “Dead Zones”, which is any area with minimal amount of plant life. While it’s rare for both species to come across each other, they do know the other exists. Florlorns are especially terrified of them. Husks are often used as the boogieman that adults tell kids about to get them to behave, and there’s all sorts of rumors floating around about them.
In truth though, they’re not actually inherently malicious or evil like the Florlorns believe. Sure, they may resent the Florlorns but Husks just want to live their life the way they want, just as the Florlorns do.
Oh, and don’t worry- they do actually have a face; nose, lips, eyebrows, etc,it’s just not visible. That area of their face just absorbs light and does not reflect it, like vantablack.
Oh! But you can see their teeth when they open their mouth at least : )
