Description
UPDATED VERSION OF THIS: Metal Head Shifter - Ref and Info
-English-
Just want to let you guys know that the Metal Head silhouettes weren't made by me (except the Metal-saur one, I did that one) they were images I took from here:
jakanddaxter.wikia.com/wiki/Me…
Now that is out of the way, I'm glad I finally put these ideas out of my head >>
For those who don't know, this is a creature I made to be a new breed of Metal Heads from the game Jak and Daxter.
After I did the original picture for the contest I started to think a lot about my creation and thought there is so much more info to add on them and try to make them more balanced, I guess??
And when some people were actually interested in using them to be in their stories I thought I could go more in-depth and explain more how they work!
So others can understand a bit more on how I think their abilities work~ (and how to kill those bastards as well)
Now for more Info:
- Shifters can be created by other Metal Heads (the ones that takes part on the reproduction of the species, which was never really cleared in the games so can't say much about it) but are extremily rare since for their eggs to grow and hatch they need a lot of resources from the area, so they are most likely found deep inside the Metal Head's nests. When they are hatched it also takes a good while for them to fully develop 'till they are mature enough to acquire their intelligence and perfect their shapeshifting.
- Because they are rare, you hardly can find more than 4 or 5 on a single nest.
- After they have matured they leave the nest and try to sneak their way into cities, and in there they can learn and understand very quickly just from observing how the people talk and behave so they can use it for themselves for when they need to blend in.
- They usually work more as 'spies' and stay inside the enemy territory to gain trust from certain targets to get useful information or commit assassinations, so they are more likely to (literally) backstab and being stealthy rather then going into face-to-face combats.
- Basically they are like Kor but are not evolved to be a Metal Head leader, nor they can create minions, but the biggest difference is that at any time they can change their appearence so they are not stuck with only one 'human' form, which can be very useful. So if they want they can be a male warrior and then change to a female civillian.
- And also like Kor they are good actors and can 'befriend' their enemies to gain their trust, but as soon as the person is not needed anymore they won't hesitate to kill them.
- Being able to shift into a 'human' is not only useful for attacks, it can also be used as a defense to be able to escape and survive from certain situations, and they will not hesitate to turn into an elderly person or a child. TRUST NO ONE.
- Their main weakness is that they aren't that durable in combat if dealing with a lot of enemies and rely more on surprise attacks, and when badly injured their disguises can be completely destroyed because of their purple blood (which is a dead giveaway), however, the biggest threat for them is other creatures that can sense they aren't 'human', especially Crocadogs.
(Never thought people would care much about them, but after some comments I got, I decided to add some rules so people don't need to ask!
But if there is something that isn't stated here you can ask me away!)
Rules to use them:
- You must always state in the description that I'm the creator of the species.
- When making your own just make sure to follow their info/rules stated in the Ref and Description.
- This creature is only suppose to be used for the Jak and Daxter fandom, not sure why someone would do this, but don't try to use them as OCs for a completely different franchise (unless it's a crossover with the J&D universe).
- The 'human' design on this ref is mine, so that's the only thing you can't use (unless you wanna make fanart of him).
- That's all!
I hope you guys enjoy the drawings! And that the character and its info makes sense >>
-Português-
Só pra deixar vocês saberem que as silhuetas de Metal Heads não foram feitas por mim (exceto a do Metal-saur, eu fiz essa) eles eram imagens que tirei daqui:
jakanddaxter.wikia.com/wiki/Me…
Agora que tirei isso do caminho, eu estou feliz por ter finalmente tirado essas ideias da minha cabeça >>
Para aqueles que não sabem, essa criatura que eu fiz pra ser uma raça nova de Metal Head que é do jogo Jak and Daxter.
Depois que eu fiz a imagem original pro concurso eu comecei a pensar bastante sobre a minha criação e pensei que eu poderia adicionar mais info neles e tentar fazer eles mais 'equilibrado', eu acho??
E quando algumas pessoas ficaram interessadas em usar eles em suas estórias eu pensei que eu poderia ir mais a fundo e explicar como eles funcionam!
Então outros podem entender um pouco mais como eu penso que suas abilidades funcionam~ (e como matar esses bastardos)
Agora mais Info:
- Shifters podem ser criados por qualquer tipo de Metal Heads (os que fazem parte da reprodução da espécie, o qual nunca foi explicado nos jogos então não tenho muito o que dizer disso) mas são extremamente raros já que para seus ovos crescerem e chocarem eles precisam de bastante energia da área, então eles são geralmente encontrados bem no fundo do ninho dos Metal Heads. Quando eles são chocados eles também demoram um bom tempo para se desenvolverem completamente até que estão maduros o suficiente para terem sua inteligência e aperfeiçoar sua transformação.
- Por serem raros, dificilmente você encontrara mais de 4 ou 5 em um ninho.
- Depois de amadurecerem eles saem do ninho e tentam encontrar um jeito de infiltrar pra dentro das cidades, e por lá eles podem aprender rapidamente só observando como as pessoas falam e agem para que eles possam fazer o mesmo pra conseguir se misturar.
- Eles geralmente trabalham mais como 'espiões' e ficam dentro do território inimigo e tentam ganhar a confiança de certos alvos pra conseguir informação importante ou cometer assassinatos, então é mais provável eles apunhalar pelas costas e ser 'furtivo' em vez de ir pra combates cara a cara.
- Basicamente são que nem o Kor mas não são evoluídos para serem um líder Metal Head, e nem podem criar minions, mas a grande diferença que a qualquer momento eles podem mudar a aparência então eles não estão presos em só uma forma 'humana', o qual pode ser bem útil. Então se eles quiserem podemr virar um homem guerreiro e depois mudar pra uma cidadã mulher.
- E como o Kor eles são bons atores e podem 'ajudar' seus inimigos pra ganhar sua confiança, mas assim que essa pessoa não é mais necessária eles não vão hesitar em matar ela.
- Podendo se transformar em um 'humano' não é só útil para ataques, pode ser também usado como uma defesa podendo escapar e sobreviver certas situações, e não vão hesitar em se tornar uma pessoa de idade ou uma criança. CONFIE EM NINGUÉM.
- A sua maior fraqueza é que eles não são muito duráveis em combates com vários inimigos então dependem mais de ataques surpresas, e quando estão muito machucados o seu disfarce pode ser completamente destruído por causa do seu sangue roxo (o que é um super óbvio), no entanto, a maior ameaça para eles é outras criaturas que podem sentir que não são 'humanos', especialmente Crocadogs.
(Nunca pensei que pessoas iriam se importar muito com eles, mas depois de uns comentários que recebi, eu decidi adicionar umas regras assim as pessoas não precisariam perguntar!
Mas se tem algo que não está exposto aqui você pode me perguntar!)
Regras para usarem eles:
- Você deve sempre colocar na descrição que sou a criadora da espécie.
- Quando criar o seu próprio só tenha certeza de seguir a info/regras deles que estão colocadas na Ref e Descrição.
- Essa criatura só é pra ser usada no fandom do Jak and Daxter, não sei por que alguém iria fazer isso, mas não tente usar eles como OCs pra uma franquia completamente diferente (a não ser que seja um crossover com o universo de J&D).
- O design 'humano' nessa ref é minha, então é a unica coisa que você não pode usar (a não ser que você queira fazer fanart dele).
- Isso é tudo!
Eu espero que vocês gostem dos desenhos! E que o personagem e sua info façam algum sentido >>

I was wondering if I could use his normal meatl head form for an anime character that I am designing and she created and android that looked like his normal metal head form
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I would rather you not use their design for anything else, aside actually drawing them in a Jak & Daxter themed drawing.

Awesome concept, I realy see it as a characer in one of the games. Also is nice so tee some Jack and daxter fanart, for some reason I don´t see it very often.
Maybe someone already told you this, but the concept of a shape-shifting monster who blends into society and acts as a spy for the hive reminds me of the genestealers fron 40k. Were you inspired by them?
Nice work!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you! Glad you liked my character and idea <3
It's a shame there's not too much new stuff for Jak and Daxter (fan content and game content) so no wonder why the fandom is almost gone by this point
I'm one of the few weirdos who decided to create some of my own stuff for it and OCs and make some stories with the universe xDD
And so far you are the only one who mentioned that, but no I wasn't inspired by them since I don't really know 40K well enough.
I've seen some of the characters/statues around just don't know anything about it aside that XDD
Though I can't say I'm being super original about it, I was probably inspired by different characters with shapeshifting abilities, like Mystique from X-men
Heck even Kor himself did that and made me think "what if there is other metal heads with the ability to turn human just like Kor did?" just not being as powerful and their ability is only centered around that
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I still have some small hope that some day we will see something new from the series, preferibly a sequel (I´m not very hopefull about it, but one can dream).
Anyways I think this could make a great concept for a short story or comic. I see it as some kind of alternative universe in withc one of this creatures infiltrates the Underground or the Krimzon Guard (or even both), and the characters are trying to expose it, as it is giving information to the metalheads. In the style of Jhon arpenter´n The ting, with the themes of paranoia and not ben able to trust anybody.
Also, What´s your fvorite game in the series? Just to know.
Once againg, realy nice work

And if it even happens by some odd chance, I hope it won't be a new 'Lost Frontier' lol
If I were better at making stories I would definitely use them more (though I did use one a bit in my short comic Our Wounds)
That's hard for me to pick since the games feel very diferently from each other (Just Jak 2 and 3 being more similar)
So I'm torn between Jak 1 and Jak 2, I love them both but for very different reasons, and I was kinda dissapointed with Jak 3's story/lenght? Even tho it was still fun there was some stuff I thought it was more interesting in Jak 2
Jak X is a fun racing game on its own and the story was decent too
But thanks again!

Im making a crossover type verse that will involve Jak and daxter lore and this seems perfect although i have a few questions if thats ok?
First one being is it possible for something unuusal to happen to them, like mutations or unique trais by exposure to certain elements or being born from a high ranking metal head like kor or kaeden?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Seeing that they are shapeshifters, they can change their appearence however they want so I don't think mutations could be easily noticed in them
Like in the examples of different 'designs' for them they can have some variety depending on their personality and region they are from.
Naturally they are in a 'higher' rank compared to the other metal heads because of their inteligence and ability, but if they were directly related to Kor or Kaeden it would probably increase their status and even base their appearance on Kor or Kaeden (Having bug like wings on their 'normal form' for example)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
also would they have the same powers as the metals heads they shifted into like a juice grunt or a centurion? Shooting red lighting making energy shields/blades or firing blasts of dark eco for instance. I kno they cant exactly take on kors form but would any shifter from him at least look similar, and can they make hybrid forms taking the form of two metal heads at once for instance?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yup, since they can mimic their bodies they can do the same with their abilities but not as good as the originals
And yes to all of that, they can get creative sometimes with their disguises (especially to look like the 'humans') so I don't see why they wouldn't be able to combine different Metal Head designs into one
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
excellent, so theyd be able to make a combat form if things got hectic given they usually don jump into the fray. Also could they continue to evolve and get stronger if they kept feeding on eco, or do what kor tried to do and eat a precursor egg.
also you seem familiar, do you play any dino games IE Primal Carnage,JPOG ,The isle etc?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
They probably would get stronger and try to do the same
And yup, I played all those you mentioned and also JP Warpath, Dino Crisis 1 & 2 and JP Lost World for PS1 (and the Lost World arcade shooter game xD)
Most recent 'dinosaur' game I've been playing is Ark: Survival Evolved with some of my friends
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
seems theres possibility for a lot with them
and just like that you became one of my favorite people ever........
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's because dinosaurs are the best
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well with that all said ill be sure to give you cred. I have an idea for one messed up shifter hehe
thats not even a debate thats a fact of life.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Can't wait to see what you have in mind for them!~
HELL YEH
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Glad to hear it, when you open up for commissions im gonna give you the full run down
Say you play primal on PC and ps4 or just one of em also are you hyped for Jurassic world evolution?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I only have it for PC, and HELL YEAH I AM
I sooo hope they do justice to it and that it can be a 'spiritual' sequel to JPOG (I still have it for the ps2 xD) since I loved the game so much
And having a 'next gen' version would be even more amazing
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I have it for both and im hoping there are dinos that werent in JPOG are in it. I like sucho,stryraco and giga, plus im hopping for gene splicing so we can modify dinos and make hybrids if necessary. If you were to make a hybrid what would you make, personally Id make a Carno,deinonychus,dilo utahraptor sucho hybrid
im utterly baffled there arent as many people who know about JPOG as I thought.
Hope you can open for comssies soon,but not to soon, would ruin the suspense
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Not sure if you have been following the 'news' on the game, but yeah it seems there will be some dinos that werent in JPOG
About hybrids I think you can't really make them (at least, not like create your own Indominus) but you can modify your dinosaurs? Though that's something not 100% certain
(If you haven't seen, here is a video with an interview with one of the game devs: www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fN5I8… it starts at around 11:16 if you don't wanna watch the other stuff in the vid xD and also more recent info on the game: www.youtube.com/watch?v=-svwwr… )
In the JP community, it seems more people know about the game but outside of it is very rare I:
And that will definitely take time x'D been kinda slow with some of the last commissions I need to do
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I have been keeping up with it to a degree. I like the little dino info vids they post my favorite being of cerato and gallimimus. Plus Jeff Goldblum is in it
I really wish it was more known, that game deserved better, so did dino crisis, i loved the first two heck i even loved dino stalker but i couldndt get behind with what they did with three.
thats ok, say is it alright if theyre drawn by other artist?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah yes, that was so surprising for me XD but nice to see that Jeff accepted to participate in the game (though I hope they got more actors from the movies to show up in the game too lmao)
Oh man...Dino Crisis and Dino Stalker, what a mess it ended in.
I love both Dino Crisis (Dino Crisis 3 doesnt really count for me X'DD) and how they tried to 'fix' the plot and cliffhanger on Dino Stalker was just so dissapointing (even tho the game is a fun shooter)
Really wanted a proper conclusion for the series...Capcom just needs to bring DC back since RE already have A SHIT LOAD OF GAAAAMEEESSS
Yeah, just like I said in the description, as long theres credits and the species isn't yours etc. it should be fine!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
given the remaster they gave crash and probably gonna give spyro, maybe one day we'll get a decent dino crisis. Say whats your favorite carnivore and herbivore in all of JP.
Excellent, youre gonna love the ones I come up with.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No idea if Capcom wants to follow the trend of Activision/Vicarious Visions to remake old games from the ps1 era, I hope they do but I think they care a bit too much RE and kinda left DC on the side
Only thing I saw recently related to it was some sort of DLC for one of the Dead Rising games that included different stuff from other Capcom games
Rex is obviously my favorite carnivore xD and herbivore I'm not sure, I dont really have a faaavorite but I guess I would pick Trike or Anky
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
For me its either the rex,raptor or dilo, poor dilo gets no love 
If you could make a hybrid which would it be, personally id tr.y to replicate some of my chaos effect toys XD
To this day i still play with the toy of this.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Dilo is sooo iconic but only been really shown in the first movie x'D hopefully in this new one theres gonna be more screentime for this lil spitter
I never had those Toys, only found out about the Chaos Effect maaany years later on the internet
And I haven't really thought about creating a Hybrid, hmm only thing that comes out right now is a mic of Rex head/body + Raptor arms and legs + Anky spine/tail xD
