Hey, what’s this thing?



This is a fuzzworm, from an as-yet unnamed planet. It’s one of my Spore Creature Creator monsters. So far the ones I did are all variants on the critters who appear in my alien doctor stories. It’s not always easy to get them looking like they do inside my head, but it’s been fun to try.* 

I’ve been thinking of posting a DeviantART gallery with some of the information from all the Hitchhiker’s Guides, but for now I’m just going to start with their Sporemonster selves. People who for some reason read my Doctors! ... in! ... SPACE! stories may be interested in this.

So up there you’ve got the fuzzworm. 

( But what IS a fuzzworm? )

*Dear Spore Programmers: More pachydermous parts and eyes that are smaller and less freakish, if you please.
