I already have the equivalent of seals and leopard seals in bird form. Think large, ferocious penguin-like birds. So Pinniped-like bodyplan, but birds. I suppose you could come up with a walrus equivalent. Tusked Skurl, maybe.

Or maybe you could do something else with the walrus. I put birds in the sea, maybe you can put walruses on land.

That is an idea, now I just have to get good at modding. :3 (I only recently got good enough to make a creature that doesn't collapse and die in seconds/be overpowered beyond belief.)

Walruses (Walri?) are already only semi-aquatic, aren't they? Or are you suggesting some sort of mountain walrus?

Precisely. Walruses spend most of their time in the water and are ungainly upon land, so land walrus still works.

Okay, so the body plan raws are finished. Also, whilst searching through some of my old documents, I found a creature design that I would like to incorporate into DFFS: A creature with what appear to be two heavily-armored heads, possessing one inwards-facing tentacle-like appendage (used for smelling stuff) each. However, it's brain and two eyes (one under the other) are at the tip of it's scorpion-like tail, where the stinger would be. It normally walks on two legs, occasionally using it's frontmost pair of limbs (which are more-or-less like human arms, but with a blade in place of a hand). It possesses two pairs of non-bendable (and therefore unusable for wrestling) one-segment arms, with three-fingered claws on the end of these.

Sound good?

Sounds awesome. Bear in mind you should put the actual [HEAD] tag only on the tail, though, since that's where the brain is. Otherwise they would die when both the pseudoheads were cut off.

I'm gonna make my ice creatures leak out syndrome causing frosty liquid... erm... stuff.
I'm thinking of having it just cause numbness. Would that be overpowered if they were covered in numbness causing liquid?

Its probably not. Just wanting an opinion. Thats all.

Not really. It would make the people who got coated in it unhappy, and could possibly lead to nerve damage if prolonged (not sure), but numbness never killed anybody.

Not really axe swinging savages. Just a minor bad thought.

Yes, but a minor bad thought goes a long way when they're already upset.

Hey guys! Two questions.

One: Is it possible to make burnable incense that produces an aroma cloud that behaves like mist and gives happiness?
Two: Is it possible to add tags that require a building to be built on the surface.
Three: Any advice on what I should be working on now that I have some spare time?

Okay for number three, try filling up the oceans and cold places with less deadly species. The tundras are boring right now...

Barren places don't necessarily need to be full of life. Variety is always nice but constant wildlife isn't necessary. Just keep the population density down somewhat.

Mmm... Yea, I intended to make many more fish. Among other things. By the way. I'm adding potatoes and vodka, so don't anybody else do it.

Go ahead and fill up the oceans all you want. But it doesn't necessarily have to be boring old fish. If it's gotta be fish, make them cool unusual fish, like extinct ones or completely original ones.
