Halloween 2022 Contest Winners

It’s been the spookiest of times, it’s been the artiest of times. And it’s been an absolutely incredible return to hosting contests here at The Behemoth!

We are so grateful to every single person who entered a masterpiece into our Behemoth Halloween 2022 Art Contest, and to everyone in our Discord server providing some good Halloween discourse. There was an unearthly amount of aliens running around in their first ever Halloween costumes this year: some adorable, and some horrifying.

Also, the amount of talent that you all have hiding up your sleeve? I don’t have any Twix up my sleeve like that! (I ate all mine already on Halloween…)

Before we get to it, we wanted to let you know; due to the influx of costumed aliens pouring out of the sky and crash landing on Earth, we have decided to add some extra winners to all the categories, and some extra prizes. If we were able to, we would give each and every human who entered some sort of prize. Maybe we’ll send each alien with a briefcase of stickers to scatter as they land to Earth.

So without further ado

Behemoth Halloween Is Back With a SpooOOooky Alien Contest!

SpooOOOOooky SCAAARY aliens!!!! Did I send shivers down your spine?? We are now smack dab in the middle of spooky season, and it’s time to celebrate our favorite holiday of the year, Behemoth Halloween!

We were so busy chasing aliens around last year that we needed to take a break from our typical Halloween shenanigans, but have no fear, we’re back with a special Alien Hominid Invasion-themed challenge.

This year, our team wants you to decorate our little alien in his favorite Halloween costume. Use the template below or, if you’re a bit more art-savvy than me, create an original drawing from scratch to prepare this extraterrestrial pal for trick-or-treating – just make sure you hold his hand and look both ways before crossing the street.

Contest Details

• Because Alien Hominid Invasion is jam-packed with cool power-ups that change the player’s alien head and gun, our main requirements are that you modify his weapon and head, at the bare minimum; feel free to go above and beyond!
• Dress him up as a skeleton, superhero, secret agent, school girl, hot dog, you name it – anything is fair game!
• We maaaay give bonus points if you can come up with some stellar stat boosts your costume provides!!!

Categories and Prizes

There will be two winners for each category, and both original and template artwork will be eligible for prizes from our merch store!

(1) Our personal favorites out of all submissions will receive the Greatest Extraterrestrial Costume Award.
Prizes: Choice of “Bear” or Skeleton Figurine + Troll Bag + choice of Necromancer or Alien Hominid keychain

(2) The creepiest costumes will be up for the SpooOOOOooky SCAAARY Alien Award. (I’m already spooked just thinking about the possibilities.)
Prizes: Painbow Horse Throw Blanket + Classified Tote

(3) Last but not least, the silliest (the ones that make us laugh until our sides hurt) entries will be crowned with the Silly Silly Alien Award.
Prizes: Raccoon Hat + Necro Socks + Troll Bag

How to Enter

When your alien is appropriately dressed head-to-gun for Halloween, you can enter by sharing your artwork to either Discord or Twitter. If posting on Twitter, be sure to use the hashtag #BehemothHalloween so we can share it with the universe! If entering on Discord, please join our server here and post your creation in the #behemoth-halloween-2022 channel. We’ll share any Twitter-only entries with the community here, too.

To be eligible for prizes, post your spooOOooOOky entry before October 31st, 2022, at 11:59 PM PT. We’ll spend the following week voting for our favorites before announcing and contacting the winners on social media.
