• Have any "special messages", traditions or beliefs (eg. myths, prophecies, folklore) been passed down through the generations of this species' evolution?:

Designs:

• Using the information above, draw some concept sketches and work out a final design for this species, keep in mind the body proportions and mobility of the creature (so be creative, but don't make the body proportions so out there that the creature couldn't possibly move around eg. if the creature can fly, don't give it wings that are too small to support its body, unless you explain how the wings support the body)(your audience is willing to suspend disbelief for your creature, but not to the point where it gets ridiculous)

• Try drawing male and female variations of your creature (like the new Pokemon sprites), make the differences between them as subtle or as obvious as you want. This will support believability for the species.

• If your creature wears clothing, try designing unique casual clothing, religious clothing, royal garments, swimwear, sleepwear, etc. It's important the audience recognizes the clothing as clothing, but try to make designs that are unique to the species' society.
