Bakageta on tumblr and I played a 3-round game of Exquisite Biome, which was a blast and I would recommend checking it out!

Here is the first species we created, Fred! Freds are a species of hyper-omnivores from a black tundra. The majority of the time freds are in hibernation; adults, juveniles, and eggs alike buried in cryostasis far under the ice. When the local semi-dormant volcano enters a heat cycle however, it warms up hotspots enough for the ice to melt and an amphibious plague emerges to gobble up everything that can fit in their maws. Which is not overly much for the average fred; but for those rare few that survive predation, reproduction, and the elements long enough to make it through to a cold cycle and out the other side, those numbers start to add up. With each cycle survived and its attendant growth spurt from the warm season glut, freds grow increasingly larger and larger. Though few and far between, the eldest freds are truly massive monsters of jrpg boss proportions.


Freds opt for a "run and hide" style of defense, able to briefly glide from the cliffs of the caldera for an effective bit of distance with the aid of their dorsal sails. These same sails can spread wide both to absorb what heat they can from the sun and help conceal a hiding fred against the black rock and ice around them.
