TL;DR I have a "species" idea and was hoping for feedback, ideas, or input in general.

Ever since everyone started selling species I've been wanting to get involved because I love designing creatures and the whole idea of world building.  However, I've tried a ton of different things and I've never been able to stick with one species for very long.  BUT I may have found the answer to all that I'm just not sure on a few things.  So I'd love if a few of you could read it over and give me your thoughts and opinions.


My idea is basically little creatures who have a specific job.  They take care of the work that we all take for granted and never think about.  Things like turning the light in the fridge off when you close the door, putting dew out at night, or sticking gum to the bottom of desks.  Each one would look totally different and have specific traits geared towards helping them complete their job.  To keep them uniform though, they would each have a little badge signifying their ability to work (shout out to Hauket for that idea TY).  They'd all be very small as well.

Here's a few sketches of the first handful of them (fall/spooky themes because whatever I LIKE IT)

The top left one here collects and removes dropped Halloween candy (he's mine, major WIP and looks like stitch, my bad)
Top right puts pumpkin spice flavor in everything
bottom right blows out candles (this one will likely be scrapped)
and bottom left makes spooky noises at night by crunching leaves and what not

That's the basic idea, hopefully I've explained it well enough!  I'm really really into these guys so you'll be seeing more of them.  Maybe not adopts, I'll see how that goes, but at the very least I'll be fleshing out the idea and making several for myself.  I've got about a billion different tasks set out now, it's gonna be great!  BUT I wanted to see what you guys all think!  Would you be interested in owning one?  Do they sound like anything already going on (I'm afraid it's someone else's idea already ah)?  Any name ideas?  I'm thinking of calling them Flukes, it seems fitting and kind of silly.  LASTLY I will try and finish the 4 designs shown above before this weekend and do a draw/offer to adopt thing.  I won't be looking for much, I really just want these first three to go to people who will use them.

ANYWAYS, thanks for all your time reading this!  Let me know if you're as excited as me hehe. OR if you're sick of species and don't want to see these or anything tell me that too, I would consider making an adopt account.
