well, how about an animal with that has 2 forms, human and creature, That can change back and forth that is named after valkeries, while wearing human battle armour and like the same thing but modified to fit it for the creature part

 

If it wasn't excactly what you were shooting for, just know that I am still new to this mythology

I like the idea of them wearing battle armour, and use them like the festive outfit event a few months ago.

Me too. But remember, try not to get into it to much. We need to decide which idea to use and which to not. Or we cant keep track of everything. Eyes on the prize.

You got an instagram account?

Plus, is anyone of us keeping track of what we have decided, or are we still coming up with ideas?

Okay I'm going to be 100% honest that the wolf idea is cool, but we already have symurghs, which are vaguely wolf-like. I believe we should keep each pet unique in design and in form. A half human pet would probably not be the best thing either. I mean it would almost be like keeping a person in a stable. 

I think as a whole we should step away from the wolf idea and look into new animals and ideas. Something amphibious would be really cool and has been talked about before. Or maybe a different kind of bird (no pheonix). I almost want to suggest maybe an Enfield, but its too canine like. 

Or maybe going along the portal idea we could get preheistoric inspired animals like a type of mamoth or giant sloth.....I dunno.

Maybe, going along the prehistoric idea, we could get variations of pets that already exist except with different skins. Sort of like the morph color idea. Like actual saber-toothed pumas, or a dragon with different anatomy. 

Sorry if I sound kind of like a jerk for crashing the wolf idea :/

This is what I have in mind

Not a cute winged dog. :)  That's why it was suggested to use them like the Kami.

I agree that  a half human idea wouldn't work cause these is a game of beasts not humanoids.

Perhaps so... I agree with hollahollaget_$. So maybe instead of creating an entirely different species, we can sort of change it around. 

If we ARE going to do that, we should stick with ONE creature first. Start with the places we want to modify, think of ways we should change it, and then choose one to change. We can keep on doing that process untill we are satisfied. Ummm... we also need somone to keep track. Like maybe sketch out a rough draft of the species we want to do. Then, as we go, that person will erase the normal parts to re draw that part with our modification. 

IF so, then we need a person to draw. Anybody good at drawing ANY of the species? That person will need to be able to also (If possible) put it on here so that we agree that it will be what we had in our minds.

Plus, we will also need a reason  for our changes. Like maybe a mutation, or a new type the result of odd breeding. At least somthing that Angel can say as the story of why there is new weird looking pets.

BTW No worries about the end of the wolf/human idea. It was getting out of the hand anyways. No offence to us, I guess. And Sandia, Sorry, but I dont really like the idea of the Fenrir anymore. Many players will probably not know the Norse Myths. So yeah. Sorry.

And also sorry about the lenght of this post.

The length is fine, its better than spamming lol. But I'm glad someone agrees with me on this one. The fenrir idea is interesting, but like I said before we already have a creature that is canine like, I think we should move to another type of animal or just alter what we already have. I understand symurghs are cute winged dogs and not super cool n demon-like, but that seems like something you could do for a custom skin maybe.

Maybe we could make a completely unique demon like creature? Something completely original not based on any mythology.

P.s. I can do some drawings n stuff for the species. Here are two pets that I did custom skins for 

first and second

Thanks! Well, we need to be clear on what we are doing. I like to be organized and know what I am doing. And not make it up as I go. Plus, if you know what you are doing, it usually gets done faster. 

Here's a list

1) Choose between completley new creature or build from the already made species

For Choice one

2) Decide. and Name it

Mammal? Nocturnal? Breedable? Normal? Different Genders? More than one morph? Sellable? 

3) Create a rough draft formed by either a mix of normal animals or Just random stuff.

4) add in details and features 

For Choice two

2) Start with the places we want to modify, think of ways we should change it, and then choose one to change. We can keep on doing that process untill we are satisfied

3) Person that keeps trak of what we are doing ask angel or do whatever they need to do (First time suggesting) and submit it.

4) Repeat for all of the other species we want to do

 

It has been a LONG time since Nightingale came on. Should we message Him/Her?

Hollahollaget_$, if we choose choice two, do you think you can do it with the bases that are provided in the customskins part of the game?

Who here is experienced at this? And sorry about the LONG (longer than before) Post.

What about the basilic lizard then?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_basilisk#mediaviewer/File:Common_basilisk_in_Costa_Rica.jpg

I can work with that. Other suggestions?

I think we should chose the species first.That way I can research. I love Mythology from all over the world old and new versions.

Sure.BTW, forget my last post. and the animal that we are doing cant relate to one of the animals that we already have otr else it belong in the the custom skin section. I think we should just creat our own like the Fenrir thing. Except, try not to overload with ideas.

Sorry guys! I was away on vacation for awhile and only had my phone, no graphics tablet. Since I got back I had a surprise funeral to attend to. Difficult last few weeks. I apologize. I did make some Fenrir poses. Not sure if they are "fierce" enough... but I added basic chain so that you get the jist of it...

I did these before seeing the images posted. I was more concerned about making a realistic pose. I figured I could add anything extra after.

I do very much like all the horns and armor on the Fenrir. What do you guys think of adding those adornments? I do think it should keep with a lunar/chained theme. Maybe add an "ice" theme to it as well. That way we can suggest a new Arctic biotope and perhaps these creatures can only be won through battle on the explore islands?

Personally I'd like to see a deer like creature or aquatic creature. I have an idea for the deer. Not sure if I could draw it though.

Anyway these were a bit quick and I did them before I left... not very feirce at all. I was just thinking "wolf" "poses"... Hrm... I think it needs to be much more fierce... I didn't want scary though. Maybe it should also be overpoweringly large (barrel chested, big head, large teeth). That way it doesn't just look like a wolf. Because to me these wolves don't look very mythical, or beastly. Maybe call is Fenris? Or stick with Fenrir?

Also are people okay with me making a new thread specifically for Fenrir ideas? We can all share them there since this post has many other things involved! Untitled-1_zps7f48cc14.jpg

I make species all the time. Can we have more species in the game?

<p>Yes. I have a tablet.l, and draw often on PhotoShop. One is a more anatomical drawing. The other is a quicker sketch of my old dog.</p>
