A lot of work but it was really nice to get my creature design juices flowing. Anyway, this is my fifth part of my ExtraTerrorestrial movie concept art. To recap, ExtraTerrorestrial: Alien Encounter was a Walt Disney World experience that ran form 1994-2003. I figure for a sequel to an initial movie/special that the homeworld of the alien from the experience would be visited. There’s a brief glimpse of it during the initial experience but it wasn’t that clear though it did have a noticeable planetary ring. My imagining of it is a super earth that orbits a red dwarf star with most of its habitable surface being covered in rainforest. Here’s a quick rundown of the organisms I’ve shown here.
The bottom left is a small scavenger that’s roughly the size of Earth’s coconut crabs. Normally feeding off carcasses left behind by other predators they will aggressively gang up in large numbers on any prey they feel confident in taking down (akin to Compy’s from the Jurassic Park franchise).
Bottom right is a bison sized herbivore similar to armored dinosaurs. Along with tough armor it’s tail has bladed edges to help dissuade would-be attackers. For larger predators it locks itself to the ground to hide and prevent exposure of more vulnerable areas.
Middle left is a large herbivore comparable in size to the largest extinct elephants. Though it possesses a tough exoskeleton-like hide, its main defense is a hot noxious spray that it ejects from the base of its tail (just like Earth’s bombardier beetle).
At the top is the apex terrestrial predator of its world. It is a distant relative of the alien from ExtraTerrorestrial and is largely inspired by the T Rex from Jurassic park and the Rancor from Star Wars: Return of the Jedi. I’m debating it’s size but I currently have it a roughly 60ft in total length. Normally walking on six limbs to support it’s weight it can temporally lift it’s largest forelimbs off the ground to grapple larger prey.
I might move on from ExtraTerrorestrial for a little while and work on some random things to prevent burnout.
ExtraTerrorestrial: Alien Encounter belongs to Disney
