Request for Development: Large Angry Sea-beasts

Postby Galys on June 22nd, 2012, 6:58 pm

So since deciding that my character should be a Svenfra, I've come across the problem that the only sea monster I'm able to find is the one scary-big octopus. I think that it would be fantastic if, at some point, someone could create more sea creatures - part of the fun of being a sailor or one the open sea is being hunted and chased by unthinkably large death-monsters.

Really, I don't care if it's a lovecraftian fishbat with tentacles or a school of hyperintelligent sharks, I just feel that the oceans - even with the storms, giant octopi, and things from real life that are absolutely terrifying - don't feel terrifying enough.

You need, as per instructed in the World Development forum, to post an outline for each creature you want to create IN THE HELP DESK.. and let us know how you are going to develop them. Then we give you approval to start. :)

I have an idea for your sea monster Galys. How about a really big eel covered in blades or spines? It's principle form of attack would be brushing up against smaller prey, or wrapping around larger prey. Fully grown adults could spawn hundreds of little babies that might terrorize fishermen by jumping into their boat and cutting them to death. The threat of such creatures could convince pretty much any coastal city to mobilize against them, killing any mothers they could find.
Bonus: Eels look really scary.
