Description Gastrula (digestive homonculus): a lifeform that developed in the body of a zombie. The Gastrula is frequently utilized in waste management, as the enzyme it produces can dissolve almost any substance. Once its food has been reduced to a pulpy heap, the stomach expands and inhales it with an eager, cartoonish snuffling. Solid waste is held in the colon until it can be sprayed as a defensive maneuver. It is often home to millions of intestinal parasites, which it may inadvertantly spread to friends and foes alike.

Encephalon (cerebral homonculus): a lifeform that developed in the body of a zombie. This bizarre mutation bears a hollow "stinger" on the end of its spinal column through which it can inject some of its own cerebral tissue. Within minutes, the victim's brain is overtaken and consumed by a perfect copy of the Encephalon's brain, and becomes a part of its collective mind. These slaves are used to gather its preferred diet of human children, who's tender young brains extend the Encephalon's unnatural life. It cannot speak, but cackles in a guttural, stereo voice.

Skawk: a defective monster. The skawk does little more than whimper and sob, though it is believed to be emotionless. It is very feeble and cannot walk far without toppling over. Gentle and considered "cute", it is sometimes kept as a pet.

Oogaboo: this floating, scarecrow-like construct of cloth and entrails boasts the remarkable power to project its sentience into unoccupied bodies (corpses) and take physical control of them for up to a day. If its original body is destroyed during this time, its disembodied sentience can gradually generate a new one (including even the synthetic outer "skin"). It delights in frightening humans, and gets along well with Cackle. Like a moth, it relies on the moon to navigate by night but may be confused by an unnatural light source.

Eledirge: the invention of a raving madman who dreamt of far-off planets and long-dead civilizations, this rare and perplexing monster plays an awkward, alien tune on its clarinet-like skull that causes intense nausea and vertigo in those who hear it. Regardless, it appears very proud of its musical abilities and oblivious to their effects. The sections of its body alternately inflate and contract as it plays.

Measle: these clever, conniving mutants are obsessed with collecting small, metallic objects. Brilliant thieves, escape artists and infiltration experts, many have made legendary pests of themselves in cities and marketplaces. They can eat almost anything, but prefer bone.

The sneezing power didn't make sense anymore. I kept the design more or less the same, but now he's a little like the demon pipers from Heironymous Bosch

The Encephalon looks like The Fiend Without A Face, was that movie an influence by anychance? And a pure intestinal creature is positively amazing, and squishy!

Fiend Without a Face is one of my favorite movies, but no, not a direct inspiration. Brain monsters are just extremely common and 90% of them follow a similar pattern. I tried to make this one a little like a brainy scorpion

Good pount and the scorpion tail reminded me of the Spinal tail the Feiend without a face had. But I like the brainy scorpion, it's something I'd except to see on The Thing because of the way it's built.

I think Achoo is the favorite here, although none of these attract me as strongly as some of the others on other sheets do.

For the most part these guys are just concepts that had to be done at some point (brain monster, rat creature, ghost, etc.) I'm partial to oogaboo but everyone seems to like achoo out of these
