Ambervein Tree – Huge plant, neutral

Plant made it and I'm stoked to present a grown up version of the Ambervein Sapling. Like with the sapling, I collaborated with the wonderful TolexCat Minis and hope you'll enjoy the result as much as I enjoyed working on it!...

Potion – Dust Gust

This potion is based on the Dustlet.

Once, bustling steps of countless professors and assistants echoed through the imposing halls of the Institute of Microzoological Alchemy. Now in its ruinous state, many fortune hunters try their luck entering them and survive the horrors they face within. Just like the Catalyst EI-03, the dust gust is one of the many whimsical remnants salvaged f...

Rip Tickler – Tiny undead, unaligned

Wherever the cemetipede drills its countless stilts into tainted soil, the rip tickler isn’t far. Whether these two critters emerged from the same foul magic or are simply lured to each other by their likewise hungering existence of undeath is unknown. In any case, slaying a rip tickler is no reason to rejoice as the end of its unliving life simply leads to the birth of another dreaded existence – and a chokingly prolonged battle for survival.

Potion – Tisdor's Foot Creme

This potion is based on the Toebold.

To which extend Tisdor Dwindleteeth III actually intended to create products for body care is unknown. His notorious foot creme – as he called it – most certainly doesn’t fall in that category as it only unfolds its effect when directly consumed. Luckily for those who dare to do so, the procedure that follows is described as being somewhat p...

Sunchaser Moth – Small fey, any alignment

The sunchaser moth lives a life defined by contradictions. It admires the sun above all, yet its veil of wings can‘t lift it higher; its feelers enables this cursed connoisseur to indulge in culinary feasts of odors and tasting, yet it has no mouth to grab a bite from the delicacies it creates. The sunchaser moth is restless and spends the few years it has wandering and wondering. In no way, however, is it melancholic but it rather seeks the adventure and excitement of discover...

Cemetipede – Tiny undead, unaligned

This peculiar creature is a rare but notorious critter. Once the darkness it stems from is stripped of all its flesh, it emerges and intrudes into to the world of the living – crawling through the smallest cracks of doomed tombs and cursed caskets. The cemetipede is driven by an insatiable hunger and nests close to places where food is plenty. It infests the pits of overcrowded graveyards, snatches rotting remains from shunned battlefields or creeps through the soggy sewers ben...

Sleepyweepy Pupa – Small fey, neutral

For the few muchmunch caterpillars lucky enough to make it to the next stage of their metamorphosis, a time of relative comfort lies ahead. Only when it feels threatened, the sleepyweepy pupa tries its best to stay awake in order to repel the intruder. Apart from such ear-shattering moments of disquiet, the sleepyweepy pupa seeks to slumber, sleep and doze as much as possible. No wonder, given it will spend the rest of its life on the move.

This dozy creature ...

Potion – Shrimp Shocktail

This potion is based on the Krillowatt. Many thanks to Ag8700 for the wonderful collaboration!

Herzeleide was well known for regularly presenting shockingly eccentric creations combining alchemy and fine cuisine – and the shrimp shocktail was literally shocking indeed. Although the aftermath was a tick more destructive as initially planned, no one of her exalted guests seemed ...

Psigaric – Small plant, neutral

Fey beings tend to grumble when psigaric mycelium encroaches on their enchanted groves and glades. These mycelial networks are host to countless intermingling psyches, fungal entities that are so alien as to be incomprehensible. In truth, psigarics prefer not to interact with the fey either. They spend their days in dreamlike reverie, exploring realms of emotion and imagination while floating about as ethereal mist inside their fungal homes. They can, however, manifest physically...

Collector – Huge construct, unaligned

Construct outperformed them all on February's Huge Monster Poll which gave me the opportunity to work on the Collector! I had a ton of fun painting all the tiny details and critters – I hope you enjoy the result!

It is quite a false assumption that the real danger doesn’t start until reaching the lower caverns. In fact, the canalisations are a much likelier place to ul...

Potion – Sneer Sludge

This potion is based on the Sneering Sludge Fish.

Nobody really knows why and how this potion actually works. Regarding ingredients, it is easy – the only one: a good chunk of mud scooped from the waters the sneering sludge fish dwells in. However, storing the sneer sludge in a way that the mud actually sprouts the magic-infusing fungus to complete the receipt seems to be sheer ...

Muchmunch Caterpillar – Small fey, unaligned

This endearing caterpillar is a rare sight to see – mainly because of its quite resilient ignorance towards potential danger. In order to brace itself for an adventurous life beyond its metamorphosis, the peculiar creature is driven by a delightful fondness for munching and crunching. It joyfully walks towards any food source in its vicinity – no matter how weary or hazardous the path might be.

This creature is able to transform into a pupa and eventually ...

Swarm of Krillowatts – Small swarm of Tiny elementals, unaligned

After the nogbee, I once again had the great pleasure to work on a wonderful concept by Ag8700 – the Krillowatts! Thank you for Ag8700 for sharing this wonderful idea with me!<3

The krillowatts aren’t solely carried by the currents of the waters they thrive in but also by those of their own electrified body. Traversing their habitat in loosely scattered swarms, they constantly ...

Sneering Sludge Fish – Small monstrosity, any chaotic alignment

It is my great pleasure to release this collaboration with Stained Karbon Maps.

Since one of their fine maps first popped up on my feed, I instantly became a huge fan of their eccentric and colorful designs! I can imagine more than one of my creatures roaming through their inspiring maps and I'm honored that the Sneering Sludge Fish now does so officially!

Potion – Whizz Fizz

This potion is based on the Fuzz Buzz and inspired by the Stamperl.

“Only the honey of a fuzz buzz makes the stamperl’s flask so deliciously tender!”, Habuini the Hiccuping silently read off the lovingly written recipe in her hands. From then on, it was a only a tiny step till she p...

Bull Dog – Medium elemental, any alignment

Thunder signifies its coming; crackling havoc its passing. Literally charging through the plains of cold and ice, the bull dog is feared and respected alike. Its body overflows with elemental magic interweaving every inch of its skin and fur. The tension in its veins emits to its surroundings, potentially shutting down everything and everyone risking a close encounter. Some lost bull dogs are driven by savage instincts, evil delusion or pure rage. Plenty, however, are sacred guar...

Brainbold – Tiny aberration, neutral

Merging with a brainbold is described as a quite curious sensation. For a split second, the texture of its glossy skin feels far more scratchy than it so blatantly suggests to be. Thousands of tiny tendrils seem to burrow down into the skull of its new host – not in a particularly painful way but more in a tickling fashion. A wild mixture of cracking, smacking and rumbling sounds floods the head from the inside to a point of hopeless escalation until all of a sudden: absolute s...

Figment of Etching – Tiny celestial, any alignment

It is the slowly dripping dream that plunges a short rest into virtual infinity; this grinding, self-repeating sequence steadily wrenching all the comfort from a good night‘s sleep that pushes the figment of etching into reality. Like the morphing phantasm this oozy being escaped from, its existence is defined by shifting forms and ever-changing tides. Its nature is described as devious or malicious even – unjustly, as it seems. The figment of etching can in fact be the unben...

Sail Snail – Tiny fey, chaotic good

Many thanks to TolexCat Minis for this wonderful slimy critter collaboration!

Like a floating beacon of light, the sail snail is carried by the currents of wind and waft. Where other creatures are skulking through the dark or developed highly sensitive eyes in order to make use of the fainting light of their realm, this tiny slimy critter brings its own glaring solution. Most predators try to ...

Potion – Bye Bye Common

This potion is based on the Shardlet.

As baffling and alarming the emergence of newly designed creatures was, it has been a bliss for the many quirky quacksters of Falbheim. The most crooked alleys were also the most productive ones. Even their mouldiest basements sounded busy; each and every attic smelled of vivid brews, no matter how tiny or dusty it was. The Bye bye Common was j...

Item – Trinket of Tenacity

This item is based on the Thumbstalls.

Instead of depending on gods to worship, the remarkable thumbstalls are building their believes around valor, vigilance and willpower. To honor these traits, they place imposing pillars imbued with energies of courage and gallantry – perfectly sized for any adventurer in need to wear around the neck.

Beatle – Tiny beast, unaligned

This peculiar critter shares its habitat with the corkscrew owl, parrot grub and other whimsical creatures inhabiting the overgrown forest caverns. Thus, it is no surprise that its wondrous traits are just as marvelous as those of its fellow branchwood dwellers. Rhythmic noises and chirping sounds are its most distinct features – always ready to vividly tuning in into any words, sounds or voices it hears. For some this trollish behavior is a welcome relief when traversing the w...
