wow! multiple posts in one day! can you belive it? anyway, heres a scug oc I actually care about. he's part of my main collection of ocs (which is called Monsoon, because I like when people name their rain world expansions after weather related things), which is actually made up of both mine and my friend's (Dawnwish, in case you wanted to check her art out, which you totally should) characters.
ok, now i'm gonna share some info on his backstory and basic abilities
5 food needed to hibernate, 5 food stored.
Can use back spikes as emergency spears, only 3 given with no cost per cycle. Each costs 1 and 1/2 food pips to regrow once used.
Higher damage with spears.
Berserk mode - gain extra strength, breath (when underwater), and rivulet speed for 30 seconds.
Berserk mode costs 7 food pips. If the player has 6 - 4 food pips, the starve cycle effect is applied, and if they use it with 3 - 0 food pips, they die after the 30 seconds.
Unable to force hibernate.
Gets half a pip for vegetarian foods.
Slow swimmer.
The Horned was originally the leader of a nomadic colony. He was well known among the colony members to be kind and caring, only killing when nessecary for survival and always careful to only take what they needed. He had a young pup (now known as The Temporary (one of Dawnwish's ocs!)), who he loved more than anything else in the world. The problems started when he was leading his colony through an iterator's complex, trying to reach shelter for the cycle, and wandered too close to the iterator's structure. Unfortunately for them, this iterator decided that they needed some new test subjects for their experiments, and over half the colony were captured (through a combination of other purpoused organisms that the iterator sent out) and brought into the structure for this purpose, including both The Horned and his pup. The rest were either killed or escaped. Over the course of many cycles, the other colony members were experimented on and gradually died one by one, through a system the iterator had created to basically force-ascend (basically flooding a sealed area with void fluid) them if they were no longer able to function properly. Only The Horned and The Temporary remained in the end (although he never knew that his pup was still alive). The Horned woke up one cycle to find his entire colony dead, and in a fit of animalistic rage, he rampaged through the iterator's structure, breaking things and killing the other organisms, before
