Challenge Details

In this fixed morphology challenge it's up to you to modify our template creature to fit the bio provided below. Entries will be judged on creativity, adherence to creature bio, and how well they animate. Show us what this creature should look like in the Stegavaar Template Challenge!

Check back soon for the winners!

Creature Bio:
Name: Stegavaar

A solitary, dangerous creature, Stegavaar burrows through the eternal rock of its planet’s mantle and crust seeking the loren, the rare and precious underground rivers in which to spawn millions of creatures like itself in hopes of one day conquering the surface.

Stegavaar has the power of devastating bio-electron beams--living lightning. Charging at speeds that belie its cumbersome appearance, and protected by its impenetrable bio-armour, Stegavaar is nothing less than a living tank. Should Stegavaar ever fall in battle, its final act will be an electron explosion of vengeance that slaughters all who are nearby.

Stegavaar's adaptations:
• Lightning based creature.
• Charges at its enemies.
• Tendrils emit electric current.
• Explodes in electricity on death.

Suggested colors: White, red, and/or blue. This is just a starting point. Feel free to deviate if you come up with a color scheme that better suits your creation.

I'm not quite sure what voodoo you used to turn that out so quickly. This is really well executed, I think I'll take it for a spin in play mode right now...

Mah magic skillz.

Is outfitting allowed?

@AapBurger: Yes. Accessory parts are definitely allowed!

MaxisCactus wrote:@AapBurger: Yes. Accessory parts are definitely allowed!

They are? I might have to make a second one.

And it's fine that I a ''little'' edited the body and legs of Stegavaar?

Creepy and Cute parts... crap.

Well, Good luck everyone.

Nope. The point of this challenge is to only build on the existing template. Removing, moving, or editing any of the template provided will disqualify your entry.

The only exception is that the feet may be swapped out for other feet.
