♧ — This image has dark blue text and a dark blue igpla that are hard to see! Until I fix the image, please feel free to open image in a new tab to view the text. — ♧
Default AC Name: Squishy
Hexed From: Calico
Reasoning: I thought it would be funny to make a breed based off of the funny little gelatinous things.
Variations: Eleven! (Blue, dark blue, purple, pink, red, green, cyan, black, grey, white, and one golden one with sparkles!)
Ivy's Fave: Blue-155
Other Notes:
One of my favourite movies as a child was, for whatever reason, The Last Mimzy. In said movie is a toy that the director referred to as a “gelatinous mass”.
I used to be terrified of the gelatinous mass, because one scene featuring it (that the above trailer shot originally comes from) was way too intense for me even as a 10 or 11 year old (I saw the movie long after its release date).
It’s since grown on me, and I based the igpla species for my books on the gelatinous mass. Igpla are, in my books, a genus of hydrozoans.
Aside from the colour variations given, there are also some minor cosmetic differences. You can get igpla of various sizes from the AC, ranging from very small to very large…
…and the green and grey igpla have only two tentacles or two body segments, respectively. I tried to make this visible in the above variations image.
