🌳 CREACHER SPRING RESEARCHERS 2024 🌳

Posted 1 month, 29 days ago (Edited 1 month, 7 days ago) by  NPC - Faunus MAWA_NEWS

totoro-miyazaki.gif  WELCOME RESEARCHERS TO THE FIFTH CREACHER SPRING.. 
You arrive at the Creacher Research facility to find Faunus hunched over what appeared to be a speck on the floor-
"Professor..? Are you- Are you good-"

22515951_iBcqanhmN1xDlMj.pngFaunus immediately turns their head towards you with a wild look.
"Creacher.... small.... hard to notice.... Finally... found... one..."
You swear they didn't sleep for days from how rusty their voice sounded.
"Faunus.... Stupid... Last years... didn't... use... microscope... or... detector.... this... year... different...!"
"Go... find... Creachers... hard... to... notice... because... too... big... or... too... small....!!"

Well, alright then.


  What's a Creacher?  
They are the treasured pets, familiars, and general fauna of Mahou Wando! 
There's a Creacher for everything or an odd substitute of a real-world animal in Creacher form!

  What is Creacher Spring?  
An event for veteran Mahou Wando members to bring their own Creacher ideas to life!
Your researchers will be showing unique finds you discovered in the woods TO Faunus!
If they confirm that, it is in fact a Creacher (and not just a weirdly shaped stick you found) then it'll be added to the index!

  2024 Theme: TINY or GIGANTIC 
There are many Creachers out there too small to see with the naked eye, or just plain hard to notice because of their size!
On the other side of the spectrum, there are Creachers out there so huge that many mahous tend to just mistake them for every day scenery.
So this year, it's time to get the magnifying glass and hyperspace cameras! Let's see what we can find in Mawa with a closer look...
What will we discover in the details..?

[ 2024 Creacher Making Rules & Tips ]

1. Please no creachers that are literally food or themed after food! We have a good amount already, let's diversify a bit!
 
2. We're looking for Creachers that are unusually small or large! (Aka ONE or FIVE stars when it comes to size!)

3. Make sure to communicate with eachother during the creation process! Try to tap into animals, themes or shapes that have yet to be addressed in the dex!

4. There are no location limits this year!

[TIPS FOR MAKING CREACHERS IN GENERAL]

1. What is their purpose/ability/niche?

2. Consider how they variate in appearance! But make their guidelines distinct enough so they can be identified by silhouette and/or color scheme!

3. What sets them apart from other Creachers? (Feel free to talk to other researchers about potential symbiotic relationships or other fun ideas!)

4. Creachers are the animals of Mahou Wando! So stray away from making something hyper-humanoid! 

5. Make sure your drawings are clear and fully display the anatomy of the Creacher!

6. What's something in Mahou Wando that is missing a Creacher? What kind of animals are missing from Mahou Wando?

Hello hello✨I have found quite the odd little creachers I believe may be of interest to your people
60E9D87C-0722-4D86-A6AC-62CABAED07EA.png

-while they are all quite small, those with slightly larger gears/bodies are expected to work on tasks requiring strength, such as moving materials

-they do not have actual eyes! What seems to be comparable to them is just made from a marker. It’s unclear how they can actually tell where they’re going

-there is a belief they may have originally been tinkered by a bunbat who wanted to put a bit less energy into maintenance of their creations, though if so, they’ve long since spread throughout the rest of the realm

-Geer-a-gear colonies (also called toolboxes) rarely build out their nesting machine, though some in a more active environment that constantly brings new supplies have occasionally been known to expand out

-a bit like bees in that sense that while one can live with and keep a colony around, they must be willing to still do their part in helping, otherwise the geer-a-gears will leave

-territorial over their nesting machines, and have occasionally been known to fight off other geer-a-gear colonies!

HHHHH.... Building... Maintaining.. Faunus... Likes...!
Question...... how... move..? Fly...? Or... Other..?

Roseann RetroLight Sweet-Jade

Thank you thank you ✨ from what I can tell they seem quite ground bound ! I believe a few attempt flight now and again, mainly through means of attaching fans and such to themselves, but their bodies always seem just a bit too heavy! So, skittering along the ground like bugs is about all they really can do✨

"Hiya Faunus! It's me again! I found some little guys!"

Blobtopus%20report.png

- They are very popular as aquarium decor since they keep the colour of the liquid they rehydrate in up until they dehydrate again, so if transferred quickly enough from one liquid to another, they'll stay full of the first liquid.

- They seem to be pretty much indestructible. No matter how hard they get squeezed they won't pop, trying to stab them will not puncture them, and in pebble form they cannot be crushed.

- It's unknown if they reproduce or if there's some fixed number of them that just appeared one day. A popular story is that they're the result of a spell gone wrong, that lead to all the sand on a small secret beach getting turned into blobtopi.

- Since they require basically no maintenance, they are pretty popular first pets. You buy them in their dehydrated pebble form and then just put them in an aquarium and watch them rehydrate into their blobby, rehydrated form.

- When hydrated, they're about the consistency of a stress ball and fit in your palm.

OOOOOOO... FAUNUS... WANTS... FOR... AQUARIUM...
Question... How.. Blobtopus... like.. other.. Creachers..?

Commander Danish Delightful PastelPunk

"They seem to get along fine. I saw an Octoboofer try to eat one, and it just chewed on it a bit and then spat it out and the Blobtopus just kept going and was fine."

--The shape of the MeecroPlastique is determined by the Mahou's wand motion that it was created from.

--MeecroPlastiques can be found everywhere from the waters of Wahou Island to the clouds of Cloudsville.

--MeecroPlastiques are absolutely brainless and float around aimlessly until they find another to stick to.

--MeecroPlastiques like to bond with other MeecroPlastiques of the same spell. If enough bonds together, it forms large masses that generate large bursts of untamed magic.

--MeecroPlastiques can form symbiotic relationships with other creachers. The creachers gain the magic buffs of the MeecroPlastiques while the MeecroPlastiques can just hang out.

--While it is generally advised not to consume MeecroPlastiques, it is reported that they are incredibly delicious! When applied to foods, they amplify the flavor exponentially. Some Mahous have chosen to use them as seasoning at their dining establishments but it is generally frowned upon.

--Experts are still trying to determine if they are a health concern...


 NPC - Faunus MAWA_NEWS

DELICIOUS... Faunus... Wants..!
Question.. what.. happen... after.. MeecroPlastiques... join.. for... spell...?

Cold Heart Spooktacles

"They keep on generating magic! Eventually though, their mass gets too big and they all kersplode! Sending them all in different directions! It's very dangerous!"
