This is my entry to the Create-A-Creature Contest http://jakanddaxter-oc-club.deviant.....dded-530452359
(Hey look at me I'm joining more contests! HAH!)
So basically the contest is about creating a new creature or breed for the existing animals in the Jak and Daxter universe, and I thought this would be a great opportunity to do and finalize an idea I had for a LONG time.
That is the MetalHead Shifters, after thinking about a new kind of threat I started to think "what if there is other metal heads with the ability to turn human just like Kor did?"
and then I found out recently about the main boss in the Daxter game (which I never played) but the Shifters are a bit different and in the info below I'll explain why!

So before I present their info I just wanna say that it was very interesting sketching out the ideas for their design and how their transformation works, even though I'm not that happy with how it came out (since I'm awful at making transformation with clothing) at least it can give an idea how their body works.
And the guy over there is NOT a character I wanted to do before or had a previous idea, it was just a random design that I came up on the spot to use as an example that I accidentally ended up liking too much now. XD

Alright here is the info:

Species: Metal Head (Hora-Quan)
Breed: 'Shifter'
Reproduction: None, they are genderless and asexual (and definitely not the romantic bunch).
Body: As shown in the pic their form is very reptile-like, slightly taller than adult 'humans' and are also more stronger, but also very agile.
Abilities: Their main one is being able to shapeshift into any kind of creature they want which even includes other metal heads and 'humans'.
They are also highly intelligent (which is needed) to plan their attacks and being able to communicate with 'humans' fluently.

Shifters can be created by other metal heads (the ones that takes part on the reproduction of the species, which was never really cleared in the games so idk much about that lel) but are extremily rare since for their eggs to grow and hatch they need a lot of resources from the area, so they are most likely found deep inside the Metal Head's nests, after they hatch it also takes a good while for them to fully developt 'till they are mature enough to acquire their intelligence and perfect their shapeshifting.
After they have matured they leave the nest and try to sneak their way into cities, and in there they can learn and understand very quickly just from observing how the people talk and behave so they can use it for themselves for when they need to blend in.
They work more as 'spies' and stay inside the enemy territory to gain trust from certain targets to get useful information or commit assassinations, so they are more likely to (literally) backstab and being stealthy rather then going into face-to-face combats.
Basically they are like Kor but are not evolved to be a metal head leader, nor they can create minions, but the biggest difference is that at any time they can change their appearence so they are not stuck with only one 'human' form, which can be very useful. So if they want they can be a male warrior and then change to a female civillian.
Being able to shift into a 'human' is not only useful for attacks, it can also be used as a defense to be able to escape and survive from certain situations, and they will not hesitate to turn into an elderly person or a child. <strike>TRUST NO ONE.</strike>
Their main weaknesses is that they aren't that durable in combat so that's why they rely more on surprise attacks, and when badly injured their disguises can be completely destroyed because of their purple blood (which is a dead giveaway), however, the biggest threat for them is other creatures that can sense they aren't 'human', especially Crocadogs.
This is all I have for now, so uuuhhh I hope you guys enjoy this! <3

Essa é a minha parte pro Concurso Create-A-Creature http://jakanddaxter-oc-club.deviant.....dded-530452359
(Hey olhe pra mim estou entrando em mais concursos! HAH!)
Entao basicamente o concurso é sobre criar uma nova criatura ou raça pra animais que existem no universo Jak and Daxter, e pensei que seria uma otima oportunidade de finalizar uma ideia que eu tinha por MUITO tempo.
E que sao os MetalHead Shifters, depois de eu ficar pensando sobre uma nova ameaça eu comecei a pensar "e se tivesse outros metal heads com a abilidade de virar humanos que nem o Kor tinha?"
E entao eu descobri recentemente o chefao principal do jogo Daxter (o qual nunca joguei) mas os Shifters sao um pouco diferentes e na info la emcima explica o porque! Só to com preguiça de traduzir.

Só quero dizer que achei interessante rascunhar as ideias pro design e como a transformaçao deles funciona, mesmo que eu nao esteja feliz de como saiu (ja que sou horrivel em fazer transformaçao com roupas) pelo menos posso passar a ideia de como o corpo deles funciona.
E o cara ali NÃO é um personagem que eu queria fazer antes ou que eu tinha uma ideia previamente, ele foi um design aleatorio que eu criei na hora pra ser usado como exemplo e que acidentalmente acabei gostando demais agora. XD

É so isso agora, entao uuuhhhh eu espero que voces gostem disso tambem <3
