Alien Fauna

 I'm preparing a crowd of civilian NPC types who can wander around Skummburg and add some color to the place, but I thought I'd like to have some of the local wildlife too.  These critters were all giveaways with the latest Colony 87 kickstarter.
 Slush Puppy.  Native to mud holes and landfills through out the Wailing Reach.  When cleaned up and raised from pups they make loyal and intelligent pets.
 The Scrub Dragon is native to the vast deserts of Fargo but has spread throughout the Geminions and is now especially well established on Geminon Secundus.
 Not dangerous to humans if left unmolested but packs a venomous bite in defense.  It's meat is considered especially good eating by some inhabitants of Fargo and Geminion Secundus. 
 The Fungus Humungous is known to grow to tremendous size in the dank climate of its home world of Proteus.  In arid climates it tends to remain limited to the more modest size shown here, its growth rate being dependent upon the availability of moisture.  It is an active creature, and wanders far on errands whose nature is known only to itself.  Though harmless, larger specimens are known to startle people by warndering by their homes and peering through their windows at night.
 The Rannian Plumed Cat is an amphibian creature native to the Oceanic world of Ran.  It is highly intelligent, curious and mischievous with astonishing powers of mimicry.  Specimens have been known to follow combat units around battlefields, imitating the voices of leaders and giving false commands to their troops.
 In the wild, the ferocious Fargoian Bearger is a menace, often emerging from its deep burrows to attack passersby.  When raised from cubs, however, the make loyal and intimidating guard beasts.
 The hedge hog-like Wubb is known for its intelligence, inquisitiveness and staggering birth rate.  Left untended populations can swiftly get out of control.  They are popular pets with children throughout the Wailing Reach.
More denizens of Skummburg on the way!

  1. Aw - they're all cuties. Well the Fungus Humongous is creepy and cute in equal measure - to think I never used to draw my curtains at night when I was a lad...

    1. Yeah, if I have a gripe abut the Colony 87 figs its that they do sometimes have a 'cutsie' Firefly sort of feel, but I still really like them.

    1. Thanks, Michael. It took a lot of squinting and swearing to get them done, so I'm glad you like them.

    1. I think the Fungous is my favorite too. I wish I had some bigger versions of him.
