that’s a fair point, I’m assuming
If you want to talk more on a sand crab, I’m down. I just closed Sand 'cause I felt no one was gonna add to it and I didn’t quite like Sphinx.
Also scallops/clams/cephalopods are mollusks (not crustaceans), but I definitely think a Hippocampus embodies the vast free spirit of the ocean and water in general.
You should make a post linking every magic to some type of shellfish.
Just a couple ideas for sand crab i had been thinking of and there is multiple ways to do this, so ill just put them in a list
-
One massive sand crab - You could have a singular massive crab made entirely out of sand, you can add multiple ideas to this such as giving it, say, an oasis on its shell, you get the point
-
A trio of human sized sand crabs - This is an interesting idea, but you can’t add as much, maybe focus on the silhouettes detail? like adding dripping sand
-
A massive amount of tiny sand crabs - Of course there is the obligatory swarm for a Cryptid, though i dont know hard this is to draw, but seeing as sand is a bunch of tiny particles and seeing how the migrations of the Christmas Island Red Crabs exist, you kinda have to put together this idea
I’ll go with the first since all the Elementals thus far have been singular and I love the idea of an oasis on its back (similar to what I’ll do with the Earth Tortoise when I eventually also draw it). Any specific crab species you’re thinking of?
Not any species in particular, though i do recommend looking at the Puget Sound King Crab for inspiration, they have some funky bumps that may work well with the oasis idea
Cool, I’ll check it out
Hold on hold on, who the fuck decided fire will be an Atlas Moth/
Eastern dragon for fire no balls
Not changing Atlas Moth, Lung dragon overdone imo
you got it from here didnt you
hey wait i watched that before
i learned all of history there
who hasn’t seen history of the entire world ig
bruh honestly i think you cucked explosion with the beetle you got other magics having dragons and basilisk and here is explosion with a beetle that sprinkles explosions mabye a behemoth would fit it better because of the raw destructive nature of both explosions and behemoths

and it wouldnt really be draconic as the behemoth has both been depicted as a mammal and a lizard
bruh nah the beetle makes much more sense, its more unique than a simple dragon/behemoth that destroys shit, and plus, bombardier beetles literally use chemicals to explode shit
but man its supposed to be mythical creatures and if it sprays chemicals wouldnt acid magic be better? whatever i still dont like the beetle being explosion as there is so much creatures that can represent explosion
it doesn’t spray chemicals, it mixes them, and that causes an explosive reaction
also i do kinda agree with the fact that there are better things to represent explosion, though most of them are either simple, or too specific
Paper got a Paper Wasp, so I think you’re doing just fine
@TheSandCrab what would you have used? (out of curiosity)
giant clam
If i were to change it, i would probably do any kind of honey pot ants
