I still haven't named them(as usual)? but I made this void noodle creature/character, and so far I really enjoy their sleek design! they're very fun to draw.

they are a strange creature made of living darkness, and they have a really interesting way of moving.
it's hard to explain? but it is sort of like a ribbon, flowing more than walking from place to place. as they move their body also lengthens, and they'll even grow extra legs as needed- though once they stop, their tail sort of catches up to them and they return to their default length. (duplicate legs are resorbed when no longer needed even whilst moving) (the default number of legs is 6)

for those who don't play Hollow Knight- those who do might notice that this creature seems to have been inspired by the Sharp Shadow charm... because they were lmao
(Sharp Shadow is amazing, best charm, I freakn' love it. functional AND super cool to look at!)
going with that theme, the creature CAN tense their body and then lunge, using their pointy snoot to punch through barriers.

they're not a very dangerous creature though, being rather peaceable and friendly(and quite inclined to drown you in coiled snuggles).

I haven't completely decided what they eat yet? but so far I'm leaning towards light, especially ultraviolet- with their unnaturally dark coloration thus being derived from their absorption of light.

their size is not entirely decided either,, but I'm leaning toward something like a .5m diameter at the thickest sections. (the length varies too much to really quantify atm)


more info on them coming soon? I have a LOT of sketches, and plan to make a ref for them eventually.
