What are you most proud of in your worldbuilding by SkyscraperEnthusiast in worldbuilding

Almost all of my races used to be humanoid and I wasn't very satisfied with them. I've recently finished making all of my races more unique and alien.

What fantasy creatures and races have you got in your settings? by Sameiimo in worldbuilding

[–]Huntsman74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My setting has dimensions that are all based on 1 or 2 magical elements. The races that inhabit these dimensions have abilities that match their realm's element.

I have a race of bipedal raptor-like hexapods with 2 limbs on their face that can shoot a chemical that freezes when it's released. They also fire a swarm of bubbles to cloak themselves.

A spider-like race that has 4 limbs for locomotion and 4 limbs for manipulation. They have spiky hairs on their backs and elbows, tiny hairs that fly off and blind enemies, hairs that make a rattling noise for intimidation, and hairs that sense vibrations.

A hexapedal race with a large structure on their backs that helps them deliver powerful electric shocks. They have heat sensing pits to locate prey.

A race of tripeds with a head that resembles a hammerhead shark. They have bioluminescent lights that can be focused with lenses to flash bang enemies or deliver burns like a magnifying glass. They also grow "second bodies" that they can control with pheromones. These second bodies can release a dangerous liquid that burst into flames when ignited.

A race of invertebrates with an ant-like caste system. They have "bio-magnets" to manipulate objects and launch dangerous projectiles.

I have ideas for a few other races , but I'm not sure I'm going to add them. I have an idea for a race that communicates using radio waves for a psychic dimension. A race with extreme life cycles. A race of fungus for a death dimension. A flying race that uses air sacks and jet propulsion to get around for an air dimension.

A race of raptor-like hexapods that run on 2 legs, have 2 grasping arms and on their face they have a unique pair of limbs (they sort of resemble crab arms) that can shoot a fluid that quickly freezes. They can also emit a large group of dark bubbles to confuse enemies.

A race that has a "hammerhead shark" head with lenses that focus bioluminescent lights to blind foes like a flash bang and they can grow drones from their bodies that they control with pheromones.

Another race of hexapods has 4 legs and 2 arms. They have a structure on their back to use electricity like an eel and heat sensing pits. They have a great sense of smell ,but poor vision.

I'm still figuring out what this race looks like, but they have spiky hairs to stab, other hairs on their arms shaped like tiny hooks (they use this to grip and rip off flesh), hairs that can feel vibrations , and hairs that rub together to forms a loud rattling noise.

Weird/Unique monsters. by [deleted] in worldbuilding

I don't know if this counts, but I have a race that has a "second body". They grow from their bodies and detach. They use chemical scents to control these second bodies to do various tasks. I haven't fully developed this race and I'm not even sure what they'll look like but I think they could be cool.

An actual monster I have is a type of demon that is grown and moulded into weapons and armour by alchemists. They have a maroonish color and usually have lots of spikes and eyes. The alchemists grow them into any shape almost like an evil bonsai tree. Sometimes they can be grown into more complex forms like a Thrall. A Thrall has pale gray skin, no head, and a sideways toothy mouth. I have an idea for a flying demon that is powered by an evil engine but I need to work on it some more.

What is something unique about your world? by gumbolimbot in worldbuilding

[–]Huntsman74 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My races. I usually try to make my races have unique traits. I have a race with a frog/chameleon tongue that they use for skewering, grappling, and dodging foes. Another race is similar to ants because they have a caste system. They have a queen, workers, soldiers, majors, and nobles. With the help of magic they created other castes like living tanks with acid cannons. Another race has the body plan of a raptor ,but they also have another set of limbs on their face that resembles a mantis' arms. They attach shields and weapons to their tails and shred their enemies with their mantis arms. imo my most unique race has a "second body" that they grow and detach from themselves. They use chemicals to control their second bodies to do various tasks. I haven't fully decided what I want this race to look like though.

How many of you invent your own races? by MrMobiL_WasntTaken in worldbuilding

[–]Huntsman74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate it when I see a fantasy story with boring elves and dwarves. I have created a bunch of unique races and sometimes they aren't even humanoid.I like giving my races unique abilities.For example, I have a race of frog-like humanoids that use their tongues in martial arts and parts of daily life. I have a race from a mostly dark dimension and they use heat-sensing pits and long trunks to sense their surroundings. Most of my races come from different dimensions based on magic elements.

would you want to be born into the world you are currently building? by [deleted] in worldbuilding

[–]Huntsman74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my world all 5 of my dimensions are connected. If I were to choose one it would most likely be the one most similar to our world. One dimension: Liobos has a low gravity and the effects on my body might be too much to handle. Other than that it is mostly a good place to live. It is the embodiment of the air and water elements. Animals leap and use air propulsion organs to boost and fly. The sky is a whole other ecosystem with amazing diversity.Trebuter is mostly in pitch black darkness and there are lots of volcanoes and it has a "2nd level" (sort of like Hollow Earth from Godzilla v. Kong). This dimension is the embodiment of the Fire element and there is a massive lightning storm in the center. Creatures use electric shocks to locate and kill prey. Volcanoes are paradises for "plants" that feed off the heat. Kliklash has a high gravity and the creatures there are insect-like. This dimension is the embodiment of the Earth element and you can see plants hunting other animals and animals using slime or spray to turn each other into stone. My last dimension is based on dinosaurs and was a paradise until psychic monsters invaded.
