Description I had other things I was supposed to do, but then I started thinking about sloth demons u__u
Gosh I love this circle so much. Maybe because water-based mythological creatures were always my favourites.

Sloth demons are big on voodoo and cannibalism and are generally really creepy and unpleasant company.

I don't think any of them are very good with "real" magic. Although I was thinking that some of the witch doctors might have developed techniques to mind control people. It would probably be very guarded knowledge - Can't have everyone knowing how to mind control each other.

I had this idea of making Sloth fragments that just look like big, bloated worm people corpses. Like they drowned and have been laying in the water for weeks. But it's really hard to draw in any convincing way :I

Whatever, these are all just thoughts.

Downright creepy all of 'em, and surely nightmare fuel waiting to happen.

Though I'd say the Eloko (sp?) is the creepiest because both because of the ominous face. Plus it looks most suited to aggressive pursuit probably meaning you'd HAVE to fight it.

Yes, my thoughts on the Eloko is that they're Not friendly and will attack in groups. Angry little imps basically.

Imagine a pack of these guys in pursuit at night you can hear 'em moving and all you can see in the dark is pairs of wicked little glowing eyes... very cool

Yes definitely!
And oh no, now I looked at the links from the wiki page and found another one I should have included here: [link] - Leech man!

While researching yesterday I also found this site that has a good overview of mythological creatures from around the world.

that Idea of bloathed worm people is equal parts ewww and yes.

Hope you get it right, would look awesome.

Question: will there be horseman of the Apocalypse? of some sort group in that way? The Kelpie design might fit Pestilence

GitteTJ In reply to Bubbawing [2012-06-03 10:42:11 +0000 UTC]

We discussed making the horsemen at one point, but never came to a conclusion about what to do with them. I think it would be awesome to include them in some way, but they need to have a purpose that makes sense in context (Harbringers of the apocalypse don't make much sense to me. If anyone could initiate an apocalypse it would be the arch angels, and I don't even think they have that kind of power.)

Anyway, if we make them they won't be demons, they will be more like the great sins. Spirit creatures most likely created by Lucifer.

You may laugh now, but just you wait 'till the bunyip comes out to bite your head off like the ferocious predator it is :V Its herps are vicious herps.

What's sad is that if I do go to Hell, I'm pretty sure it will be for Sloth. So it can have its revenge. |D;
