====== Sticker Club ====== Here's a list of ideas for me to draw and design for my [[https://ko-fi.com/scumsuck|monthly sticker club]]. The theme is weird critters, cryptids, and mythical creatures. I will also draw [[notes:horrorcharacters|horror characters]] as extras... ===== Requests from 2024 ===== * weasel * chupacabra * mothman! * the cat that scientists made glow in the dark! * Helicoprion! * Coelacanth * Narwhal! * The word "narwhal" comes from the Old Norse nárhval, meaning 'corpse-whale', which possibly refers to the animal's grey, mottled skin and its habit of remaining motionless when at the water's surface * "In the majority of cases, erupted tusks appear only in males and the left-side tusk is the one that tends to emerge." Females tend to lose their tusk if they grow them * No solid known use for tusk: may be for mating display, stunning fish to eat, or breaking ice * thylacine ===== Requests from 2024 ===== * arc = Would love some Skum birds for the sticker club! Like Sandhills, grey herons,turkey vultures! * whim = What about Hombre Gato for a cryptid & leafy seadragon for a for realz critter? ===== Some ideas from me: ===== ====crappy animals==== * [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molidae|sunfish]] - cant move spine or mouth, gets so many worms they have to bask on the surface for birds to eat their parasites * Octopuses die after reproduction * Squids ink through their mobility/waste hole * Most sponges reproduce sexually. * Paxillosida Starfish use one hole for their mouth and anus. ====Antiquity==== * [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mo_(Chinese_zoology)|Mo = Giant Panda or Malaysian Tapir]] ====Mythical==== * [[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huoshu|Huoshu]]: fire rat ====Cryptids==== * [[https://www.reddit.com/r/Cryptozoology/comments/1herfl4/cameleopard_is_a_creature_from_africa_that_was/|Cameleopard]] ==== Bugs ==== * [[https://www.tumblr.com/apsciencebylyn/774707055096446976/hands-you-one|Treehopper]] * Blue carpenter bee * Native bees vs honey bees (honey bees can BEE invasive competitors to native beez) * Photuris - female mimic lightning bugs that eat males of other species ==== Appalachian cryptids ==== ===General=== * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tailypo * not deer, quite modern, tumblr/4chan... deer with perhaps human hands, strange limbs, forward facing eyes ===west virginia=== * sheepsquatch * flatwoods monster = barn owl * Megalonyx, the North American giant ground sloth, is West Virginia's state fossil. * grafton monster (big foot, polar bear "A large, headless, hulking creature with smooth, seal-like skin.") * (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snallygaster) "The snallygaster was described as half-reptile, half-bird having a metallic beak lined with razor-sharp teeth, occasionally alongside octopus-like tentacles.
