It's spooky month, so it's time for a spooky Avaura: the Referee Reaper. They're scavengers that absorb the Aspectral energy expended from Avauras battling as food. Their scythes can swap between blade and flag(s) whenever they want. #Avauras #Fakemon #CreatureDesign #CreatureCollector

Referee Reaper
Referim (Dark/Spirit) -> Refereap (Dark/Spirit) -> Refereaper (Dark/Spirit)
While normally found in graveyards and ruins, they can rarely be found all across the region due to being scavengers. This is due to their very unique diet that very few other Avauras have: spent Aspectral energy. They search for Avauras battling and act as a referee. Having a strong sense of honor and following the rules of battle, they ensure the battles they watch have no rule-breaking. The scythes they wield can be easily swapped between a sharp blade for battles and fabric-like flag(s) for deciding the winner of a battle.

This is Kidscot, the base stage of my planned mascot Avaura line. I commissioned @madipup.art for these and they came out fantastic! If you guy's are looking for some cute art like this, I highly recommend her!

Hey #PortfolioDay My name is Grounded Aura, but I usually go by Ground. I mainly design creatures called Avauras for a creature collector I'd like to make. Hope you like some of these designs and concepts!

Also to you @psipudding.bsky.social (would have sent it as a DM, but Bluesky doesn't let you do that yet...)

Send this to everyone who made you happy in 2024

Here is an example of a fossil Avaura. Fossil Avauras have two forms: a Reconstructed and their original from (aka Restored). These guys are based on stromatolites, considered one of the oldest forms of life. #avaura #art #fakemon

Avaura Species: Strolling Composite, Restored

Base stage Toddlelite (Terra/Water) evolves into mid stage Ambelolite (Terra/Water) evolves into final stage Strollmatolite (Terra/Water)

"Their fossils have been dated to be the oldest of all Avaura Species. With them being successfully restored, it has been discovered they are the common ancestor to all three Avaura kingdoms: Animals, Plants, and Synths."

Avaura Species: Strolling Composite, Reconstructed

Base stage Toddlelite (Terra/Mineral) evolves into mid stage Ambelolite (Terra/Mineral) evolves into final stage Strollmatolite (Terra/Mineral)

"Their bodies are made of alternating layers of sediment cemented together. Due to the imperfect process of fossil reconstruction, they have lost their algae binding and their animal-cell like eyes have been replaced with minerals. This and their fossil's age caused researchers to originally mistake them for being the origin of all Synths only."

Here's a unique species: the Heat Eater. They are based on mosquitos and mosquito coils. Unlike actual mosquito's, they don't penetrate skin to get their food: heat from other things, especially other living things. #avauras #creatures #creaturecollector #art #fakemon

Species Name: Heat Eater

Base stage SIzzline (Fire) evolves into mid stage Puplare (Fire/Dark) evolves into final stage Skeetercoil (Fire/Dark)

"Primarily found in volcanic areas, their diet consists mainly of heat from objects and especially other living things. They're quite stealthy and only need to touch their proboscis against their target to start draining heat. Only the drop in boyd temperature is all that's felt."

Here is the Fissure Legume. They live in forests and can create earthquakes by slamming their root arms onto the ground. They're based on peanuts. #Avauras #creature #creaturecollector #art

Avaura Species: Fissure Legume

Base stage Goobergume (Nature/Terra) evolves into mid stage Nugume (Nature/Terra) evolves into Legsure (Nature/Terra).

"They are able to create localized earthquakes. Oddly, these earthquakes never seem to negatively affect plants."

Finally the last subspecies of the Salamander Pepper and a perfect one for this time of year: Ghostly! Same basis as the other subspecies but ghost peppers this time! #avaura #creature #creaturedesign #creaturecollector

Avaura Species: Salamander Pepper, Ghostly Subspecies

Base stage Peppole (Spirit/Nature) evolves into mid stage Pepparva (Spirit/Nature) evolves into final stage Peppermander (Spirit/Nature)

"The oddest subspecies of Salamander Pepper. Despite their dull coloring and Spirit Aspect, they are living plants and quite energetic, more than the other subspecies. They can be found floating around graveyards and dark forests and are quite friendly to humans."

Now the third subspecies pf Salamander Pepper: Chilly. This one's basis is the same as the other subspecies, but with chilly (chili) peppers! #Avaura #creaturedesign #creature

Avaura Species: Salamander Pepper, Chilly Subspecies

Base stage Peppole (Ice/Nature) evolves into mid stage Pepparva (Ice/Nature) evolves into final stage Peppermander (Ice/Nature)

"A subspecies of Salamander Pepper that lives in cold climates. It's theorized that due to cold their general disposition has also become cold."

Grounded Aura @groundedaura.bsky.social · 15/10/2024

Here's the second subspecies of the Salamander Pepper: Scalding! Same basis as Mild but with spicy peppers instead of mild ones.

Avaura Species: Salamander Pepper, Scalding Subspecies

Base stage Peppole (Fire/Nature) evolves into mid stage Pepparva (Fire/Nature) evolves into final stage Peppermander (Fire/Nature)

"Living in volcanic biomes, this subspecies of Salamander Pepper tend to be much more aggressive than others."

Grounded Aura @groundedaura.bsky.social · 15/10/2024

This first Avaura has multiple forms and I'll share them over time. Here is the Salamander Pepper, Mild Subspecies. Based on the both regular and mythical salamanders, and mild peppers.

Avaura Species: Salamander Pepper, Mild Subspecies

Base stage Peppole (Nature/Fire) evolves into mid stage Pepparva (Nature/Fire) evolves into final stage Peppermander (Nature/Fire)

"Considered the original form of the Salamander Pepper species, this subspecies lives in forests."
