Hey sup. For you guys who don't know, I'm heading the creation of a SciFi MUD called Stellarmass. And that means I get to draw and design all SORTS of alien critters. Right now I'm designing the critters for the Shifter class. Shifters fail at using most armors and weapons, and instead can just shift into a critter for a various situations.

This here is a Wake Spider, a rather strange alien animal found around spaceships and other space crafts. They get the name 'Wake Spiders' not only for their resemblance to the Earth Insect, but also because these creatures feed on the thrown off energy from fuel, known as the 'wake'. They look furry, but they are actually covered in stiff sensitive hairs, helping them navigate their world because these creatures have no eyes. Because they can survive in the vacuum of space and other extremely hazardous environments, shifters will turn into these little guys when they need to traverse a dangerous area. Which is a good thing because you can travel through space in the game, but doing so without a spaceship/suit is pretty much a death wish. Wake spiders are mad pretty, and are shades of blue with patterns that sorta hurt your eyes to look at em :D Heehee spiderrrssssssss. They are also about the size of a male human's fist, so they be teeny. :3
