[@colorqueen9281]

Idea for a mutant: The Dancer The Dancer was once a graceful ballerina that got obsessed with achieving the impossible, in order to look beautiful while she performed her dances. She refused to eat because according to her standarts, the perfect waist was important while dancing ballet. Being fat didnt suit the perfection of a good coreography... After the signal of the tower got to her...the dancer grew more and more insane. Her body started to deform and she felt fat and gross...Finally she opened her chest, broke her ribs and took out her stomach...stitching the remaining skin so her waist was impossibly skinny..as she always wanted it. She put on her ballet dress and tried to dance...but the upper part of her body didnt stand correctly after all her ribs were removed, so she had to crawl in all fours with her head tilted backwards to see. Then she put on some music and danced...but while dancing she remembered how many people out there felt like her and wanted to be perfect. So she decided to help all those dissatisfied people to feel good again. You can see her dancing in the darkness, lurking like a spider and humming the songs she used to perform on stage. She attacks people that feel insecure about themselves...she appears while they sleep and crawls up their beds, she waits till they wake up and before she kills them she whispers: ¿Do you wanna dance with me? Her victims are found in front of mirrors...with somber music playing if the person had a radio. But the thing all of them have in common is the ballerina shoes the dancer leaves to them...and the perfect waist she gives their bodies.

Monster Idea: The Father The Father seems to be the opposite of The Mother, as The Mother creates these monsters, The Father devours them, a glutton, a hunger that can not be filled. The Father stays on his comfy chair made out of the creatures he eats, how he gets around, no one really knows, because if you see him, no matter who you are, it's too late, The Father doesn't just go for Monsters. Even though The Father is powerful, there are some monsters he declares off limits, one of these monsters is The Mantis, as he sees the monster as a pet more than a person, man's best friend. The Mother sometimes makes monsters just to feed The Father, as a deal to let one slide from his teeth, but that doesn't make The Father stronger than her, he is actually afraid, a woman who can spawn thousands of Monsters, The Father can only fit so much in his huge ferocious teeth filled mouth. Another monster he lets slide is The Ice-Cream Man, as the work he does, The Father admires, hard work pays off. And that's my idea for The Father

I would love to see some short animations/animatics of these mutants! Just scenes of each of them doing their jobs, when they’re hunting, or hiding in the shadows...That would be so creepy and cool! I might even try sketching some of them for fun. They’re all so eerily unique! Really nice work!

[@PayDonnn]

She had a very anglerfish looking face to me. Maybe in the dark to entice children to get close to her as she silently hides in the shadows, is to have an anglerfish like antenna. But, on the end is a little glowing star or butterfly. Children wake up and instead of being afraid and running, they go towards the light innocently only to get close and see he face lit up behind it.

[@izzydead9977]

New headcanon: Muriel and Claudia were ladies that fell in love and got married. They couldn’t adopt children at the time, so Muriel became a nanny while Claudia worked as a seamstress, making free clothes for the poor children in the area, and sometimes reading bedtime stories at shelters. In there old age, the entity appeared and mutated both of them beyond recognition. I feel like it fits with the forehead kiss goodnight that the seamstress does, and that the nanny is clutching a hand sewn teddy bear. And that couples will kinda mimic each other, and they both have similar senses of style and both wear cute little buns.

I really want to see the backstory of the nanny

[@itarfer]

She was working in a bridal shop in Flushing, Queens 'till her boyfriend kicked her out in one of those crushing scenes. Then the entity got her.

[@staticfanatic5625]

Question: In this world, are there any specialized humans who try to fight back? Maybe they could harness some powers like the mutants? Or maybe they have created strong technology using it? How are we fighting these creatures if we are? I might have missed something in one of the videos, but just wondering! Keep up the amazing work, can't wait for more characters!

Well, there's the guides. People who the entity tried to take but their souls were too pure. So they became guides and protect people from the mutants

[@Wolfy00000]

As I have been doing, he makes a mutant, I make a mutant, so here we go. As mentioned in my description of "The Mister", "The Gamemaster" is a truly horrible mutant to encounter. This 10 armed, square-headed, puppet-looking mutant picks its victims randomly, but what each one goes through is almost always the same. It teleports around, grabbing about 20-30 random people every 4 months, and takes them to a unknown location, subjecting them to multiple average challenges (usually 5 or 10), then one grand challenge. Each challenge, if failed, led to either death or some tortuous fate/punishment and potential continuation of the game, but if a challenge is done in an interesting way or a side challenge is done, the participant(s) may get rewarded (usually items, buffs, abilities (which are usually perminant), or favors (like reserection, skips, or answers)). Some common and recurring ones are a lethal/mutilating obsticle course of some sort (which is always the first challenge of every show), a cat and mouse maze game using some horrific, gruesome creations or sometimes even other mutants from the lowest, nightmare level, a run through "The Mister's" territory, a pick-the-door game, whether this be a roulette or a tunnel of doors is usually random, an escape room based on the theme, the-floor-is-lava, usually with actual lava or scalding orange water/acid, and sometimes a hunger-games set-up. Each "episode/show" is themed, from gardening, horror, and school, to escape, running, and fighting. The challenges that happen and the way they are styled are based off these themes. During said challenges, participants may die or get punishments, which can be torture or disabling, from delimbing and mutilation, to having to wear a device that will blow up unless you do something the next challenge or just having to be tortured by a mutant or wearing a device that tortures the wearer (electric suite or the hot wire skeleton show up a lot). The last or grand challenge is always a boss fight based on the theme. "The Gamemaster", including his teleportation, can also manipulate matter, time, and space. It can create creatures, generate and change environments, heal or harm creatures, including reserection, change the size of itself, creatures, or objects, etc. It can also generate camera view points for Its twisted show, which it streams to mutant audiences and sometimes even human audiences who are deranged enough to watch. While difficult, it is possible to survive its shows, but don't "cheat" anything seen as cheating will cause an instant punishment, unless "The Gamemaster"/audience sees the method as clever and entertaining. It tends to wear a costume based on the theme, but defaults to a carnival ringleader looking suite, or at least the puppet does. There is a theory that the ringmaster is actually a separate entity controlling a puppet, which acts as a host, which explains the puppet-like look, movement, and the fact that the puppet hangs from strings, usually never touching the ground. The only goal of "The Gamemaster" is to have as many viewers of its show as possible and entertaining those viewers to the fullest. Its deadliest show was its 100th episode, so it had 100 participants at the start and and only 3 left at its conclusion, each leaving with multiple abilities, but each having sacrificed something and/or someone to win. While most participants are kidnapped, some volunteer with the promise of a very large prize and sum of money, enough to last multiple human lifetimes.
