#weirdcats

It's kind of annoying because I genuinely thought I would feel really proud about myself after making this...... but I just..don't

Also i have little lore snippets for these guys btw. They were made by the same iterator who made feather and frog, and as such they live either with Silent Catalogue/Sunny in her can or in the territory outside of it. I'll be making a post abt her once i. Actually design her lol

Armoured Digger -

With its hard as stone backplates and claws specialised for digging through the tough dirt of its territory, this slugcat is quite the hardy variant made by Sunny. It lives a fair stretch away from the tropical areas where most of the released weirdcats live, at the edge of the iterator's reach. Its territory borders a gigantic stretch of unlivable desert, and it has learnt how to cultivate many tubers to make up for the lack of prey available.

Gem Keeper -

This rather vain weirdcat is the scourge of the local scavenger tribe that Sunny watches over, living in a cave near the tropical coast that is slippery, dark and smells of brine. It has a rather curious obsession with keeping a manner of shiny objects, unfortunately picking pearls as one of their favourites. The strange protrusions on this slugcat can glow, often in mesmerising patterns, but if threatened can flash blindingly bright. It will sneak out at night and blind scavengers who threaten it if caught stealing pearls.

Seagrass Mimic -

This odd rivulet-deriven morph is quite the apex predator of the reefs, lying low in kelp beds and waiting either for stray sealife to swim over it, or for a terrestrial being to swim above it and send sounds down to jt. It will swim up towards the surface silently, before latching onto its prey and injecting a small amount of a paralytic toxin it got from eating many types of deadly sealife to aid in dragging its prey down and drown it before feasting. Due to the toxin secreting from its skin when threatened its both poisonous and venomous.

Thermal Lurker -

This weirdcat lives in the sulfuric volcanic vents around Sunny's can, being rather calm and unbothered by most creatures due to the blistering temperatures its skin produces. The outer layer of its skin is nearly always hot enough to melt metal, but strangely its underbelly is pleasantly warm. This volcanic friend is on peaceful terms with the local scavengers, being quite happy to fetch them sulfur from its den for their explosives in return for food and companionship. It also aids them with refining their spears to be much more powerful via helping them melt down seaglass to make a primitive sort of glass spearhead.

Cocoa Confectionaries -

One of the many of Sunny's experimental slugcat morphs who exclusively lives within her can in the containment enclosure, this weirdcat is not too different from the normal slugcats, physically. It lacks the short, smooth fur needed for them to slide though pipes however, and gets stuck trying to go through them due to their thick, wool-like fur. Its rather well mannered and is a loving companion towards Sunny.

Cookies N Cream -

A morph that is derived from a slugcat adapted to snowy enviroments, this weirdcat has surprisingly silky fur and is quite capable of sliding through pipes. Although, due to the threat of overheating in the tropical enviroment that surrounds Sunny's can, it is kept inside of an enclosure that mimics a snowy area akin to a pine forest with an array of other snow-based weirdcats. It enjoys hunting prey with a group of its landmates, and has been observed setting up traps and helping come up with hunting strategies that make use of their enviroment.

Snow Runner -

A frosted weirdcat whom has a unique coat that allows it to blend into powder s ow near-perfectly. This odd slugcat is rather shy, and surprisingly fast and good at running across snow due to being much lighter and smaller than an average slugcat. It will hide in drifts of snow, waiting for prey to come close enough for them to strike, before pouncing lightning fast and wrestling their prey. If their meal escapes, they will give chase and aim to exhaust it via travelling close behind and keeping pace for an extended period of time thanks to their extreme speed and stamina.
