[[ B is closest to the traditional worm on a string, but A and C have their merits as well. ]]

I was working on something else (also, ice worm related,) n' talking to a friend this wormed it's way into my head;

And then it sparked The Question of Where Would The Eyes Go?

Round 1, Match 13: Emma Gilbert (H2O: Just Add Water) vs. Ice Worm (Subnautica)

Emma Propaganda:

“She’s no ordinary girl! She’s from a deep blue underworld, and land or sea, she’s got the power if she just believeees!!!” Okay sorry for the bad karaoke singing. For those of you who didn’t go through a mermaid phase as a kid, this is Emma and when she took a dip in a magical island pool during a full moon, she then into a mermaid whenever in prolonged contact with water. It also gave her special powers! In season 1 she could freeze things, mostly only if they already had water on it, and in season 2 her powers got amplified so that she could freeze things regardless of if they were wet and also could summon hail and make snow storms. Her powers get her in and out of shenanigans, like in the episode “The Big Chill” she freezes local mean girl Miriam. Like she freezes and entire human being and the rest of the cast have to figure out how to thaw her back safely. Also likes to make fresh popsicles with her powers. We don’t talk about season 3.

Ice Worm Proganda:

The worm is a huge and hostile leviathan / environmental hazard that burrows in ice and attacks anything that's above it. They can burrow through ice because their horn is super-heated. They also can't be killed by the player.

ICE WORM!!!! I love this friend look at them slither around. Exquisite.

Thinking about how the ice worm and the shadow leviathan both have bug-like features and appearances.....

HOLY FUCK THE ICEWORM FIGHT WAS SO COOL!!!! I GOT IT ON MY SECOND TRY!

pot, kettle

sir, that's my emotional support ice worm,

621 has a habit of making little critters it seems - Walter isn't sure if he got that from Carla or if he was like that before augmentation, but it has made keeping the place cleaner, so he's not sure if it's something he wants to complain about.

The sea spider's a fire alarm system+extinguisher and the helianthus are actual roombas that can do heavy duty cleaning - it can even clean carpet! The iceworm is also a roomba, but looong, and good for getting into corners and very specific cleaning. It will also come and twine around your legs if you 'call' it :)

I think by the time he's got all these critters, Walter's also taken to dressing down more on base - but he'll always have his harness on, juuust in case. He acknowledges that it's small comfort, but he'll take what security he can haha

621's eyes are pretty bad and they suspect they deteriorated during his time being frozen tuna. It doesn't impact his ability to pilot an AC so its all good! It's a part of why his clothes are the way they are; it lets him use literal plugins. That being said, they're also not great for him, so he usually gets around with a tricked out cane instead.

Now that these monsters are posted... check out the concept sketches and the final version + quick background (because Tuz wants to have the transparent PNG be exclusive).

Done as a commission for DM-Tuz.  Check out his stuff, he has some good DnD 5e homebrew content!

Ice worms are so cool
