REJECTED - NOT IN THE POLL
Reason: Failed quality check (sloppy/rushed/unfinished artwork and/or insufficient artistic quality)
well my creature is called a slight walker. it is enourmous in size compared to the largest of animals and is a combination of an elk and a buffalo. the name of the creature comes into play because the creature doesn't make any sound when it walks. instead the creature is able to replicate any sound it hears via the sound scrapers on its head, and projects them through its speaker(horn) on the side of its head.

Concept: Megalith
Alot is still unknown about the Megaliths, but the facts we do know that they're the uncle traveling matt's of the animal kingdom, with no real set migration paths, these creatures tour the continents out of more curiosity, never happy to stay in one place for to long. Takes a great effort to keep these guys out from major populated cities, and steps are still being taken to decease small town and village "accidental destruction"
The good news is that early warning detection and the fact that it is pretty hard for these guys to sneak up on you by their cries that you can hear for miles and the general earth shaking as they pass on by lets everyone have plenty of time prepare for the encounter
Description: The Mountain Back are a species of gentle creature. Lived on the mountain valley, the creature feed on vegetation, (Its herbivore). They have a pattern coated skin on the back which gives them a camouflage advantages even if they are big and often trees only covered the lower half of their body. They are enormous creature that grew a crystal like bones on their fort head, used only in the matting season, the "crystal" glows in to a fabulous display of light show.
note: the idea is very "to the sound" i guess, the file I heard is kindda like a long humming whale kindda sound. so i guess the creature could use a long neck, and there seems to be some bird twitching at the end of the playback, so I think some jungle or in-land creature would suite the criteria .

Close to rejection - work more on polishing your artwork
Artist: tonynokills
Concept: Sand Screamer
The Sand Screamer is a relatively simple creature. It stands stationary of most of the time, filter feeding small insects and absorbing moisture from the air.
The distinctive sound it makes is due to the chambers within its body that filter out food and impurities and blows out any waste.

Concept: Buckler frog Named so because of it's shield-like covering the Buckler frog stands at 4ft tall and produces a low booming noise from its inflatable chest sack to accompany its characteristic screaming.

Concept: Basswalker Well I got the name from the bass sound it emitted, so anyway the 2 ear-like part are the bass-emitter, while the tentacles with receptors and small holes are the resonance receivers. There's another 2 different, black tentacles (actually 4, 2 others are on the other side) are the vibrating tentacles that helps to make the low, squirming sound. Apparently when all the tentacles are moving, it'll make another sluggish-like sound too.

Concept: Eekiferus Stompisonus
This ponderous creature lives on the humid planet Grancanalus located on the outer rim where if there's a place far from the center of the Galaxy, that's the place. This cute little creature is 2 meters and a half tall and feed itself of all the rotten food he can find in all the great quantity of garbage produced and left all around by the few underdeveloped human residents of the planet or by the even more underdeveloped tourists that go there in great number because they find very amusing all of that.

Close to rejection - humanoid. If you go for an ape like creature watch the hands and gestures. Yours is too human like.
Artist: Ham-e
Concept: Giant Stompala The Giant Stompala lives in the high mountains. Increasing pressures on their environment from human development have caused their range and hunting grounds to drastically shrink. Sitings of the Giant Stompala used to be rare, now it has become common for starving Giant Stompala to wander down into the cities in search of food.

Concept: Coscinotherium Coscinotherium (“sieve-beast”) are huge creatures, adult specimens reaching a shoulder height of about 8 to 10 meters.
Like some whales on Earth, Coscinotherium feed by filtering plankton from the water using their baleen. Coscinotherium, unlike the whales, are terrestrial creatures and instead of finding their food in the sea Coscinotherium filters the waters of rivers, brooks and other bodies of streaming water. They prefer to feed in somewhat rapid parts of rivers and use their powerful limbs to secure themselves to the bottom while standing in the water, facing the current. The short, muscular tail and the support leg, connected to the heels of the hind legs, have evolved for the purpose of keeping the animal steady and secure against the forces of the flowing water.
During feeding, the water passes through the baleen and exit through a number of slits on the sides of the neck. Two tentacles located on the lower jaw are used to guide the flow into the mouth as well as keeping floating debris from damaging the delicate baleen.
The tusks and plates on the back are mostly for sexual display. These huge animals have few natural enemies.
description: The Eastern Dragon Toad, most recognizable by the dragon like snout and short stumpy tail. Though appearing fearsome, the Dragon Toads demeanor is slow moving and docile. The creature spends most of its time grazing the pasture, only moving after eating everything in reach. The most notable attribute is the large toad like pouch attached to its jaw that can be inflated with air and allows the creature to bellow, communicating with other dragon toads, or sounding a fierce and frighting warning to would be attackers.

description : Horn Crowned King Croc is hardly to be seen This gigantic crocs have a hollow horn skull which connected to a nostral system,so when they breath the sound come.They have a celluloid skin like a tree,so the external skin is very strong and rough.This skin always growth until they die,Someone called it "An Armored Croc" from it's wooden-like skin. On a joint of their bodies, they're a tough muscles and it's hard to cut into it,of course, this is not their weak points.Sometimes amber can be found on their skulls,this amber will grow along their life years.
The Ancient Aboriginis hunted them for their skull, Which used as a horn (The young tiny skulls) in a religional ceremony and use as a thorne of the king of tribe (The old big skulls) Because the believed that this is a symbol of the brave... this is a symbol of the conquerer ... this is symbol of " THE KING"..
The Womp is a slow moving docile herbivore usually found in packs of 15 to 20 animals. The Womp has some unknown physical property which
greatly lowers the effect of gravity on itself causing it to float much like a slightly weighted helium baloon. It's long front legs are used to
keep it aloft and can be extended or contracted to change it's altitude.
In addition to floating, one of the Womp's defining features is it's subsonic blast emitted from the multiple powerful diaphragms located on the sides and belly
of it's body. Among other uses, the shockwave from this sound is the Womp's main defense against predators. At close range the blast can render most medium size creatures
unconcious. In a pack the combined effects make the Womps almost impervious to attack.
Description:The Bullistics Frog is a large creature living in swamplands where the dangers are many. They have built up natural offensive/defensive weapons against both attacks from the ground and air, and are captured and/or raised in the captivity by sentient species to use as weapons of war. The large airsack on their throat can hold air at high pressure which is realeased through the vents on their back. The frog, or it's handler can place items in the opening on the front of these vents which then get released at the speed of a cannonball. Each vent has independant muscle structure to allow for controlled pressure release. The Bullistics Frog has large back claws and strong rear legs to avoid being pushed back upon pressure release and to use as defensive weapons when pressure loading is too slow due to immediate danger. They also use the airsac to float rather than having to swim to stay aloft and like to spend their time at rest floating around the deep swamps.

Concept: Tonkar This giant herbivores are slow and have no natural weapons or ways to defend themselves, but there is no need to, because tonkars in their enviroment dosn't have naturall predators. Only little tonkars can afraid but their ussualy go witch the big herds and are safe.
You can hear tonkars stomps from miles, and when they roar you will first hear mighty throat sound, and then the something like wisthling "elephant sound" coming from their pipes.

Concept: Uokaton Uokaton are found in swampy lowlands happily munching away at the salt grass and chomping down a few fish. Uokaton are massive creatures with a low vibrating trumpet-like call. When they call out the sack on their necks inflate revealing the brightly colored skin. During mating season the males fully inflate their throat sacks to attract mates.
The Bassoon Beast is so named for the valves along its neck, which expand and contract in order for the creature to modulate its bellowing. Tubercles on the auditory canal allow the animal to gauge tones keenly. With these modulations, the Bassoon Beast can find mates, warn off rivals, and stake out its feeding grounds.The Bassoon Beast makes its habitat at the edges of jungles, and grazes along the lower canopy. They are very intelligent and it is thought by some xenobiologists that the Bassoon Beast may compose songs, similar to those of whales.
The rare nanga makes these trumpeting sounds to communicate with other of its kind. There are various variations of said sounds, all with different meanings. It is still unknown what exactly all the different sounds mean. This particular sound comes from a male trying to find a mate.

Concept: schornofaught this is a giant reptile which lives under water. it is known to hunt large schools of fish. can be quite fast, but agility is limited due to its shell. the shell is used to absorb as much heat from the sun when its on the surface. uses its fins to navigate in the water. but on land it uses its fins like a turtle. but mainly uses its tusks to drag it's body.

The Paraoxlophus is more than an ancient ox. This creature has a big set of horns and a sail between the biggest horn and his neck. He uses his sail to attract females. His appearance reminds of a Parasaurolophus, the dinosaur with a low trumpeting sound. The Paraoxlophus makes a similair sound, but lower like a cow. Whenever this sound is heard most likely a herd of Paraoxlophus are on the run for carnivores.
Concept: CLANG It is said that every seigneur in middle ages owns a bunch of clangs.Clang has a trunk,a little bit like elephant's, stick under its chin.On the other side of that trunk,grow a hammer like bone.When clang walks draging that truck,the hammer knocks on the ground and makes sounds like"clang clang",that is its name came from.
Clangs serve as the warrior elephant in time of war.In peacetime,they can do a lot of labour work,such as digging moat,toft etc.

Concept: Cave cow Lives is mountain caves. Herbivorous but in spite of this is very dangerous. Uses voise as a weapon. Knights consider that to kill this beast is sign of strength and courage.
The Greater Kronk lives on vast grasslands with few predators. The noise they emit comes from their evolved horns that are fused into their nasal canals. The Greater Kronk even smells through their horns.
Each Greater Kronk grows slits in the folds of their horns making each creature's call very unique from one another.
Concept: Loempiha The Loempiha has similarities to our own elephant but its not related, it eats mostly algies witch can be found in the Swepharian sea[/IMG]
