Need somewhere to put these, have my (simplified) slugcat designs Monk has karma flowers on their tail but for some reason I made the background pale yellow so they're really hard to see
Survivor - She/they, very rabbit-like in nature and appearance, with thin ears and eyes Monk - They/he, just a little guy. Karma flowers start growing out of their tail at some point during his journey, when nature decides to give him some extra luck because idk they're nice. Monk is also a bit chubby and has short, round ears, inheriting both traits from Gourm. Gourmand - She/he/they, cool parent to everyone in the colony. He wears a batnip on his ear for extra ✨style✨
The messengers!
Spearmaster - They/it, Suns didn't leave them in the bio-engineering oven for long enough so they're smaller than average. Spearm can benefit from this though, being able to curve around predators easily and get into small crevices. They have spikes on their back to look less desirable to predators (though this doesn't always go so well), and its legs are a different shape, better for running. Also they have Suns' cheek markings instead of their forehead mark as a more subtle "LOOK THIS SCUG WAS CREATED BY SEVEN RED SUNS!!1!1" Rivulet - They/them, slightly taller than average, and equipped with a tail fin to be a bit more realistic. Said tail fin is kinda supposed to be rhombus shaped, hmm I wonder why? They also have a triangle on their face like Spearm because MMMMM parallels. Hunter - She/they, stocky with sharp fingers (paws?) and constant eyebags. Their green eyes slowly darken as their cycles diminish. I decided to put a rhombus between their eyes as a subtle hint to their creator.
Also these first 8 scugs all have a darker spot on their tail tips, which was only partially intentional
The ones with karma troubles
Artificer - They/she/it, the spiky things all over her are not actually fur, I have no idea what those are, I like to call it defying the laws of physics. She has large, boxy ears, scar "gloves" and blue eyes. Its eyes and nose are originally white, but they turn blue after Arti meets Five Pebbles. He accidentally left a mark on them lol Saint - They/she, I decided not to depict them as evil, they're just... sad. A very fragile slugcat. The dark spot on their tail tip is supposed to be a parallel-to-Arti thing, but you probably can't tell since it's on all my scugs now. Also their forehead markings actually aren't more eyes, wow!!!
Dark blue duo
Inv - Any pronouns because they have no concept of gender, very tired and paranoid due to the hell that is their campaign. They actually do have fur on their ears and cheeks! Also frill things on their tail because it looks cute, and they are the only scug with a visible mouth Nightcat - They/it, very blobby and lacking a visible nose. The end of their tail curls up, supposed to resemble a crescent moon. It also has eyeliner because it seems like the type of scug to have eyeliner. Watcher - Following the theory that Watcher is/was part of the OE colony, this is what Nightcat turns into after being separated from the colony. Exposure to the wilderness kinda destroys them. They turn into a pitch-black, strange being, covered in eyes that watch from all angles.
I'm not sure if this is an AU or just a bunch of headcanons piled together but yuh
