ZALGOID 101: SURVIVAL GUIDE

You are a representative of the extremely small and strange race of ZALGOIDS. The Zalgoids are generally considered a MISTAKE OF NATURE, the result of the forced mixing of two completely parallel species, and you could not agree with this viewpoint more, because you absolutely hate your origins, your planet and EVERYTHING associated with such wretched creatures as zalgoids.

Full introduction

Long-awaited (well... i hope so!) translation of the guide by @luckykvak and @ioannthe on how to create your own squiddly creature whom i talked about in this post. Enjoy! You are free to create your own zalgoid, but please, credit us and don't claim their species as your own.

Here's a quick set of trivia to help you:

Zalgoids can have any blood color except for fuchsia and violet. Usually it's bright saturated versions of normal troll blood colors, but shades may vary. They do not have a hemospectrum system as they have way too many possible blood colors and therefore cannot be categorized.

They can have from one up to four eyes.

All of them possess various mental superpowers.

They only have one sex. For them, he concept of gender is nonexistent. Usually referred to using it or they pronouns.

Their names are 7 letters long and always have an apostrophe somewhere in it.

They have a very complicated romance system. They can only produce offspring through red romance. It is a very painful process that requires both sides to merge into single horroterror. Zalgoids tend to avoid it unless their love is so pure and strong they are willing to sacrifice their own body and identity.

They are naturally asocial and prefer being alone.

Quirks are usually obnoxious.

Their planet is very warm and covered in water. When the clouds part, you can see the horrorterrors roaming the planet's orbit.
