Ghelim- IN PROGRESS

Ghelim: Bhadradomen mutated into something resembling dragon-hawks. Thin bodies, spoked wings, lashing tails tipped with razor-like barbs. In colour they were a pallid, scar-red, patched with green corrosion. Their heads were ugly, with tiny eyes and gaping beaks, and their claws were vicious, catching in clothes and hair, tearing flesh. The creatures' saliva leaves burns. 

Final Design WIPs:

Flesh Maggots

Flesh maggot development. Description: Found in soil where the Flesh Oxen have been. Adults burrow underground, bury dead or sleeping animals and lay eggs in their flesh. Maggots eat the flesh, then emerge onto vegetation and enter a chrysalis phase. Flesh oxen eat the vegetation and the chrysalis passes through the gut until it is deposited in another area and an adult emerges. Then the process begins again. Segmented and maggot-like. Around 5cm long, and 2cm thick. Luminescent greenish-white colour, segmented eyes and  vicious hinged mandibles. Curls into defensive ball when threatened. Has hundreds of tiny writhing legs.

Flesh Oxen Development

Development of the flesh oxen creature. Described as: A type of Bhadradomen bred to feed the others. Resembles an ox, but with four horns. Solid barrel body, lumpy head. Coat glows an unpleasant, luminous white. Pallid and translucent. Oddly bloated flesh. Whitish blue eyes ringed with pink. Dull, expressionless.
