I'm not up to the challenge (looking through my gallery, you can see that I favor less earthly body plans), but I posted your thread on the Sporum for some extra publicity.

((lol, What now then guys? I'm posting from my trusty cellphone on account of te fact that I'm grounded, and I'm surprised the thread has devolved into a pie bashing. My phone can't show images, did he post moar MSPaint or something?))

The picture, in MSPaint. I apologize for the crapulence. I could've used GIMP if it recognized my tablet pen as the cursor. Anyway...

The parasite: It has triangular shape, and I changed the design to feature short stubby crab legs. A row of teeth shaped like these (though smaller) is located just behind them, and in the middle is a circular mouth through which come the three tentacles (a female specimen is pictured. Four eyes, two on each side, in a Naucean-like form. The small black area is an ear, like a leopard gecko's 'hole-in-the-head' ears. Coloration is red-ish with black striped across the body, black eyes on red plates (think a buzzard or dinosaur). Legs are red on the outer face, pale inside (like a crab) and tentacles are all red (thought the male's fourth tentacle is black).

The standard host is portrayed (poorly) to the right. I'll try to make a photo mockup soon.
-It stands upright, like a Qiraji Prophet from WoW. While very thin, the torso widens into the shoulders like the undead male model.
-The head looks like a cow skull pointed down, and is coated in osteoderms, giving the appearance of an actual skull (there is no bottom jaw, as the dead do not need to eat).
-The four eyes are arranged similarly to the parasite, and look just like them. 
-The spikes across the back are forward-facing (think Godzilla from the 1998 Hollywood movie).
-The back of the thing looks like the spine is uncovered, much like a xenomorph.
-You can see the outlines of ribs all down the creature, like an emaciated snake.
-They have four arms. The upper arms, mounted on the shoulders as you'd expect, are like the Fungal Giants' from WoW. The lower pair are like a T-Rex, though somewhat bigger (they're used for fine manipulations, like writing).
-They have two legs, which are shaped like the legs of the Faceless Ones from WoW.
-Coloration is sickly pale throughout, mottled with subtle grey spots.

NOTE: The triangle on top of the host's head is where the parasite normally attaches, but it is much smaller in comparison.

For those of you who don't recognize the WoW references, Wowwikie (www.wowwiki.com) is an excellent resource.

From your favorite (?) dead parasites, happy Easter.

EDIT: Spore mockup complete. Refer to the description for notes, and ignore the legs. The coloration is mostly right, but the veins should be more line-like. I ran out of complexity (and description room) before I could make ribs. As said in the notes, I couldn't ass eyes. Just think Naucean/Alieneye for them.

EDIT 2: Also note that this would be a very awkward pose for them. The upper arms typically hang limp.

Ahhh the Necrobain, a species ancient in form but (relatively) recent in intelligence! Having just recently claimed a small portion of space as their own, the Necrobain would like to make themselves known.

Biology
The Necrobain are a race of small skittering parasites; their natural forms possess eight spidercrab-like legs, a lobster-like tail and a thin fin shaped body with three round eyes. It's tough to describe, I know; I have a picture but the scanner is busted. If anyone wants to take a crack at drawing them, I could post some MS Paint mockups.

The normal Necrobain only lives about 72 hours. That is, without a host. You see, the Necrobain, being parasites, need a host body to survive having no way to carry out chemical exchange naturally. The major difference between the Necrobain and normal parasites, however, is that their host most be dead! While able to "hitch a ride" on the respiratory systems of living beings, they cannot overpower the mind. They have thus adapted to "reanimate" necrotic flesh through a series of nervous tentacles dispensed through their natural mouth.

There are just three Necrobain organs; the brain, stomach, and controller. The brain, obviously, does the thinking. It is located behind the eyes and above the mouth. The stomach is directly attached to the mouth, digesting and then dispersing nutrients throughout the Necrobain. The controller is a special organ in the tail, which is essentially a coil of nervous tentacles. These go through a small opening in the stomach and out through the mouth so as to burrow into the host and take control. Males have four tentacles, females three (the extra tentacles is for sparring, and is capable of delivering powerful electric jolts capable of dislodging a rival from his host; females lack this capability).

The host's necrotic flesh is slowly digested from the inside out by the Necrobain, and so must occasionally be replaced. This is a natural process thought to encourage genetic variation, as the Necrobain pass on bits of their hosts' DNA during mating. Mating is accomplished by the female releasing eggs into a special cavity in the tail, which inhales a small cloud of sperm ejected in a gaseous form by the male. The female lays her eggs inside the host, and then attaches herself to a new host; this allows both parent and child to eat.

In summary:
-Cannot live more than 72 hours without a host, living or otherwise.
-Can only control dead hosts; the living can support the Necrobain, but not controlled. Attaching to a living being is painful for both.
-Cannot attach to plants or plant-like beings; needs a respiratory system in host.
-Hosts are slowly digested over time.
-Males can send powerful jolts of electricity through a whip-like tentacle.

Society
There was once a time where Necrobain society consisted of many forms of undead "life" but developments in genetic engineering have produced a two caste system; the Citizenry, normal Necrobain who are given a standard form (explained below) and the Leaders, given a special form made for their extravagant lifestyle.

Due to cultural taboo, however, Leaders are rarely seen by other species. Each Necrobain-ruled world has one elected dictator Leader, and they may never leave. Leaders may be impeached at any time through a majority vote by the populace, and any Leader impeached is immediately put to death. Leaders serve an everlasting term, only ending with impeachment.

'Aight, I've been tasked with the awesome responsibility of creating a made-up beast from different pictures in Image Editing class.

Problem is, I can't find too many pictures. I'm going for flat out ridiculously beastly awesome pwnage here.

Some examples of my high standards of beastosity include (but are not limited to):




I don't know how to resize them, but I don't know if I would; they're raw pwnage is exhilarating.

Halp me? Gewd. Happy hunting.

Updated! We can haz picture and some basic info. More on the way, as I said!

No, I have no mods. I had to reinstall in order to add Creepy and Cute, and it hasn't worked since then.

I am also unable to upload a certain creature. It was built entirely from scratch, so I don't think stealing is a problem. I've tried renaming, resaving, deleting the old, everything! And I can upload other creatures as well. This is a creature I'd really like to play with, not to mention the one to become my "trademark" beastie. Any ideas?

lol Someone still remembers my little brainchild. Have fun taking it out of cryo!
