Goal: Have your Atamakuchi react to an urban legend or ghost story!

Does your Atamakuchi hear the story, tell it, or experience it for themselves? A skeptic, a mythbuster? Or a believer in things that haunt the night? Perhaps they become a local legend themselves?

Instruction: Draw or write your Atamakuchi interacting with an urban legend! You may use the given AXK local legends below, known ghost stories, tales, and cryptids from Earth, or even create a myth of your own!

Tips! Consider your setting! Does your Atamakuchi live on the homeworld, AXK? Or on another planet, like Earth? Think about the sort of tales that would be told in your setting.

Deadline: Saturday, November 4th

Submissions officially close at 5:00am, November 5th EST (sunrise)

How to Submit:

Submit your entry through jotform to get your Cortex rewards!

AXK Urban Legend #1

They say an unidentified flying object crashed in the jungle just a few miles away from the city. It was clearly no meteor or other natural phenomenon, no matter what anyone tries to say. It was a spaceship, it had to be! But from where? And whom? A harmless drone? A scouting mission? The beginning of an invasion?!

A creature (the pilot?!) has been seen in and around the craft but no one agrees on what it looks like…Earthy in color, with tendrils around its crown and fur around its neck…A white bipedal thing with thick limbs and a large black eye taking up its entire skull, or a creature with a gaping toothless mouth…What is the truth? All anyone agrees on is that it’s no atamakuchi…

AXK Urban Legend #2

The drinks served at the Halley’s Comet juice bar are out-of-this-world, sure, but there could be more truth to that than we know. No one has ever seen the stock room of Halley’s Comet and returned to tell the tale…
