"Based on the back cover artworks illustrated by John Burgoyne for Cook's Illustrated, but with an intergalactic twist.
  • Automato - Though almost entirely inedible to most races, its distinct coppery taste has become a staple in Glitch cuisine.

  • Eggshoot - This root vegetable is a common substitute for real eggs among discerning Avian. It is soft boiled in texture.

  • Oculemon - A large, citrus-like melon famous for its resemblance to the Human eye. The iris is unusually sweet.

  • Beakseed - Its nutrient-dense seeds pop with every bite, making them a popular addition to breads, trail mixes, and cereals.

  • Coralcreep - This aquatic fruit grows in the shape of an undersea arthropod to frighten off pests. Even its taste and texture are similar to that of Earth's lobsters, making it a common ingredient in many of the Hylotls' vegetarian dishes.

  • Reefpod - A sweet and salty fruit harvested from coral reefs. Its crunchy rind can provide a surprising burst of flavor to desserts and dinners alike.

  • Feathercrown - A sweet, starchy root often saved for ceremonial Avian dishes. Despite their appearance, Feathercrowns are fruits; their feathery leaves carry them in the wind to help spread their seeds long distances.

  • Boneboo - The soft insides of this fruit resemble internal organs, making it one of the few plants to be found in the otherwise carnivorous diet of the Floran.

YES! YES! I can't describe how happy it makes me!
I was so worried that I blurted out something dumb or weird again because of my excitement... (///0.0///) Thank you!

Just checked the wiki and saw that there were three theropods (Blip, Quibble, and Tritrots), so I may plan to do a piece with all three together. I've already been considering showing critters snuggled together, but I might save that for a different set of critters or monsters. Good ideas!

Oh this looks wonderful! Man, now I'm hungry for non existent foods! Damn you! and I mean it lovingly!
Also, if you are going to do a critter display... Please, I beg you with whatever is left of my jaded scarred heart, I want - NO! I *NEED* the blue theropod-like fella from the cold planets! That little dude gives me life! I am obsesssed with anything even subtley similar to a dino! I NEED TWO OF THEM CUDDLING EACH OTHER FOR WARMTH AS A BONDING BEHAVIOUR!
... But in all seriousness, only do it if you feel like it! This stuff is already increadibly awesome and I can't wait to see more!
also, sorry for caps, i just really adore those fellas

Evan might I recommend making pixel art ingame for the monsters? I'm lookin for more helpers for my Mega Monster Madness (MMM for short). Based on this you'd likely be a big help :D
