Creature Contest

I'm delighted to announce a new contest. As you can probably guess from the title, the challenge is to create a unique creature. You can do so by presenting your idea with artwork, or in writing.

A unique creature can be something you have made up, or a mythical animal.

If you choose to write, here are the requirements:
Descriptions for:
~ general
~ egg
~ hatchling
~ adult

Keep in mind that these descriptions should be similar in tone to existing ones.

If you decide to do artwork, you can create sprites, or submit hand-drawn work. Pixels should be limited to 120x120. If you do a hand-drawn piece, win, and do not feel capable of spriting, a staff artist will bring your creation to life.

Now, on to the prizes:

We will be selecting one to three winners. These winners/winner will have their creatures become part of Magistream's species, receive ten shards, and a full set (two adults, two hatchlings, one egg) of the creatures they have created. There may be up to three winners chosen.

We're really looking forward to submissions, as we know how creative you guys are. Be sure to enter while you can - this first contest of autumn ends in a week, on September 17th. Noon EST.

I wanna enter too! 8D What I have in mind'll probably fail compared to others. OTL

How many creatures are we allowed to submit?

What exactly is meant by a 'unique' creature? Does it have to be completely of our own thinking, or can it simply be a description of something that already exists?

Ooh, this sounds great.

If only I could draw or spend time staring at a screen to make a pixel creature. Stupid shoulder getting hurt...

Can we enter with more than one creature idea?

And, I think that there should be a second prize for 20 of those that entered. Their creature could be made real and given one egg of their creature. I would like to see more than one creature added in to the stream. :\
