Game #3 monster concept

by

Today I post a new animation of a new monster concept for the new Game #3!

namethatmonster

(this animation runs proper speed in FireFox)

This monster is territorial and resembles a raccoon or stag of sorts (Perhaps a distant relative of the Weapons Frog?). Being built as a predator this monster comes equipped with sharp teeth and hind claws. It also comes equipped with a mild case of narcolepsy – so the hunts must remain brief.

Nothing else is known about this monster at this time.

I’ve bounced around a couple names for this guy, but, does anyone out there want to take a stab at it?

  5. The watchful protector

    the silent gaurdian

    the Dark Fright hehe

    or beezlebrag

    or the coon now with antlers

    zomg call him Charles the hallucinating rabbicorn

  6. I like that critter already — as a light (Yet frequent) sleeper whose enthusiasm knows very strict boundaries, it would fit right in at the foot of my bed!

    Looks like a Masked Woolcat to me.

  9. Some stuff I learnt as a child, though this might help you draw inspiration, Dan.

    “Rakshas” (pronounced as rākṣasaḥ) is the Sanskrit word for a demon, enemies of humans. They are shape shifters and disguise themselves as hybrid beasts of the forest. They come out at twilight and disappear at day break. They also eat the dead. But if this monster is an enemy of the gods it could be called an “Asura” (meaning “not-god like”). They love to piss off the gods on every occasion.

    My other suggestion, which is probably a simpler one is “RanGoon”, which is a combination of Racoon and Goons (Thugs). I also like ENkOde suggestion of ‘NarKoon’

  10. I think the bounce when he wakes up has got too much bwuaoaoann and should be more like boink!

    Rikshawr
    Grrrdog
    Crunchmut
    Chompcat
    Ralf

  12. I don’t have a name suggestion, but I do have a question for Dan.

    Is there any chance you could briefly describe your process? Like, do you draw on paper first, and scan in, trace in flash, or do you draw directly into photoshop? How do you preview your animation? Im an artist/animator myself and was wondering how you went about creating that awesome animation.

    Thanks

  13. maybe his name should be Chubby Flea and here are some others
    Taysean
    Flopper
    Killer Klowns From outer Space
    NICE AS ICE
    Rakill
    Weacoon
    Racoon Dude
    i need a nice day
    ILOVEYOU
    LOVE MONSTER

  15. Hey how about The Protector!
    The Beast
    Rakill
    Taysean
    Defender of the Gems
    Muncher
    Beastly

  16. First off, it has to be semi-comical.

    Like the Stagcoon, or something crazy, like a Furgowahl.

  17. Well, is this a one-time only creature, or a multiple encounter creature? With that thought, we can determine if he’s more like “The Legendary Black Beast of Arrrggghh!” or a troll.

    For a One-time encounter, he’s definitely a “Horris” in my thoughts, but multiple encounters, maybe something more like an “Arjyll” or a “Straigus”, you know, a name that is weird looking at first but you go “that’s a pretty cool name for a monster”

    • Really Nacry Nomer the coolest name and the best name would be Taysean come on Dan you have to admit Taysean is a baller name. You should at least name one of your creatures or characters that.
      Pronounciation
      (TAY.SHAWN) n.
      DEF. A TOTALLY BEAST NAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      • Oh my god, just shut up about the taysean crap, you’re just pushing it as far as you can, ramming it down everyone’s throat, just because you’re proud of some crappy idea that’s probably your name. Stop saying it’s a baller name, because it’s a frickin’ animal, not some athlete. The more you try to force this crap name onto people, the more people hate you, and the less people want to like (or choose) your ideas. And then you go and tell that Narcy Nomer (which is a GOOD original name) that it isn’t good, and that your retarded idea is actually good. Just shutup. For all of us.

  20. man it looks like a racoon and a deer or “buck” if you want to be specific.

    dercoon or bukcoon. Also maybe along the lines of a Racoose cause of a Caraboose. or a Racoosoon if you wanna get crazy. Feel free to alter or add to if you like, it is YOUR creation after all 😛
