What do you think of Hydro-spheres as a species?

Okay, so I don't know how I came up with this but here you go anyway. Hydro-spheres are basically animals (can be feral or anthro) except they have glass spheres filled with water in place of a head. The water usually doesn't fill up all the way and there can be some aquatic plants in there. Also, there MUST be some sort of aquatic animal inside as well. The animal is enchanted and has shrunken in size, and are the main life source for the hydro-sphere. If these animals die then so does the hydro-sphere.  

There are also many sub-species! Sub-species mostly differ from hydro-spheres because of the contents inside the glass spheres, including the animals found within them, with few exceptions. Here's a list of all of them:

Hydro-sphere (water)

Tera-sphere (plant life)

Deso-sphere (desert)

Ice-sphere (icy environment/frozen body of water)

Magma-sphere (volcanic/magma)

Lava-sphere (lava lamp)

Snow-sphere (snow globe)

Glitter-sphere (same thing as snow-sphere but with glitter)

Geo-sphere (geode)

Techno-sphere (spherical screen)

Crystal-sphere (crystal ball)

8-sphere (magic 8-ball)

Mythic-sphere (mythical environment/creatures)

Glow-sphere (kinda like a glow stick)

Electro-sphere (plasma ball)

Elemental-sphere (elements on the periodic table like liquid mercury, liquid nitrogen, etc.)

Disaster-sphere (inside contains a storm)

Morph-sphere (can be any of the above EXCEPT the glass is shaped like the head of an animal or a different 3D shape)

Glass Being (can also be any of the above EXCEPT it's entire body is made from glass)


So in short what makes the subspecies different from the classic hydro-sphere are the environments/contents of the sphere, and the animals inside them. As long as the animal somewhat matches its environment, it's all good!


I'll definitely update this thread with more info, images, concept art, species refs, etc. I hope y'all like the idea so far though!!!! I'd love some feedback, it'd really help a ton!

Stormhunters that looks awesome, thank you! You are free to make a glass being, I would just like to see the design when it's done to approve (also because I love seeing people taking interest in my species haha).

Glad you like it! I'll send you the design once I finish it :)

Are they allowed to have fur tufts made of glass (to make it look fluffy when it's not?)

This is real cool! And I've never had a character of an original species by someone else! I wonder..  So, I can make my own, but get permission for you to approve? :3c 

ZugZwang853

Stormhunters yes! 

ZugZwang853

ShadowDarespark Yes, you certainly can! :3

Sorry for the long wait! I wasn't able to make the ref until now.

Stormhunters No worries at all! Your design looks great and has been approved! Thank you for showing interest in my species.   :3

Krazy_Koder Sure go ahead! Just make sure you read the guidelines/rules (posted right underneath the poll) and show me the designs afterwards to be officially approved. One last thing, the mythic-sphere, morph-sphere, and glass being are all rare traits and need to be bought. Since the species is new and I want to get them out there before I start charging money, I will accept art as payment instead. So if you wish to use one or more of those traits You can chose any of my primary or secondary characters to draw. So if you were doing just one of those traits then the payment is just one drawing, but if you are using more than one then it's one piece of art per rare trait. But if you're not using those specific three traits then you don't need to pay anything.

Krazy_Koder Many of the types can have land animals, the type of animal usually depends on the environment inside the sphere. I understand that in the guidelines I wrote it can be kind of confusing at that part, because I accidentally made it sound like there are mostly only aquatic animals in the sphere which is not the case. As long as the animal somewhat matches the environment in the sphere it's fine. I'll be sure to edit that part later to avoid any more confusion haha.
