a field-notes style series of sketches showing different creature in development for lore. starting at the top and going from right to left: a chicken creature with multiple fins, a floral roly-poly bug (text: climbs up an existing flower stalk and eats the flower/curls around it), a flower with one eye, a mouth coming out of the flower pot and roots spotted for feet, a weird teardrop shaped creature, a large eared creature (text: bat ear fox inspo), a large hedgehog/echidna creature with a caravan style building attached to its back and a few diagrams about how the building works (text: children of this culture are given their animal very young and train as they both grow / mostly sedentary, moves seasonally / very thick layer of fur + soil that develops with age that allows for the caravan to be anchored in without pain), and finally, a much small flower hedgehog (text: flower hedgehog) and pinecone pangolin (text: pinecone pangolin) (text: unrelated but similar looking)
a field-notes style series of sketches showing different creature in development for lore. starting at the top and going from right to left: wind chime spirits that float or can run with little legs, bell spirits with bodies coming out of bell hats, cow bell spirit subspecies (text: like eyebrows (pointing to rope attached to the bell)), mushroom jellyfish parasitic fungus (text: fun guy), a lily of the valley-like flower (text: potential: future, past, present / vibe check / trade a song for the prediction / smells nostalgic / ominous or hopeful melody / ask permission to uproot / portal to past future present / LOV honey has special properties)
