Fleshling in a cozy lil house

This is a species called skiflay! [I hope it's not an actual word <3]

They're made of blood and flesh mostly!

[You'll never guess what they were inspired by.]

these guys are for a project I am working on TBD!

if you want to know what they were inspired by well....

they use their little droopy dangling things to communicate to others of their species [or detect danger]

They may also use their tails for communication!....or catching and killing things

They're hostile.

Can't be tamed AT ALL due to the fact they treat humans as a food resource [and also the fact they feel nothing except hunger :3]

They look sad. But don't let that fool you!

Funfact: they have no mouth and no gender!

so they simply eat by stuffing the food onto their body simply which creates a protective layer of it for the heart.

[This is as not so violent as I can put it]

They get many hearts the more they consume. [Those hearts are dupes]

And to create more of their kind they simply just rip some of their layers off and mold a new little guy.

These creatures come in many sizes and shapes.

however big the heart is is however big the creature is.

The heart is displayed by an outline of it [and the closest one to the current outer layer is displayed outside.

these guys take many shapes

But there are a few categories

Vaguely Mammal, vaguely aquatic, and vaguely creepy crawly, or vaguely human in a way.

They act more like animals than humans.

They can look like more than one thing in any shape though.

Like they may have a human torso with arms, snake legs, and animal paws orrr something else.

They look mostly like demon spawns.

some theorize they were created by the devil himself to purge humanity from existence

They used to be simple tiny parasites that could easily be removed.

But then they became BIG PROBLEMS. As they grew.

I won't say anything more about them and their life.

But one day they....dissapeared.

Peace at last.

The parasites remained but...the big ones went missing.

if you're curious about my project.

uhhh a guy [gender neutral] comes back to a hotel from work and-

You get what happens.

They go up....infinite stairs

And encounter strange things.

And with these stairs you're forced to go through rooms.

If you wanna progress [you can't go back.]

Going back forces you to loop back to the door you walked away from.

octobing!!! 🐙🥰
