====== 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.
