This is my first time sculpting something like this, so I'm not sure how it's going to turn out in the end... But here's my WIP so far.
Tinfoil armature with Crayola Model Magic. It's also my first time using this type of clay, and I like it! It's extremely soft and light (which feels a bit strange), but very easy to work with. And I really like that it doesn't need to be baked.
Here's some info for my new critter:
Noxious Bloatworms are large, swamp-dwelling predators. Although slow-moving, they are still considered to be extremely dangerous and deadly, and should be avoided at all costs. Their bodies are covered in small circular vents that release a gaseous, paralytic toxin into the air. Even in a dissipated form, this toxin can accumulate in the body and eventually cause complete paralysis if the warning signs are not heeded. Numbness of the face and fingers, difficulty breathing, and a sweet-rot taste in the mouth are the initial indicators that a Bloatworm is somewhere in the vicinity.
Noxious Bloatworms are blind, but have a series of highly-developed olfactory organs located in their feeder tendrils. As paralysis sets in, the victim’s body releases a chemical marker into the air, allowing the Bloatworm to hone in on their next meal with slow, yet deadly, accuracy. And once their prey is completely incapacitated, the Bloatworm will then move in for the kill. Smaller animals are swallowed alive, drawn into the mouth by long, sticky feeder tendrils. Larger animals, that cannot be swallowed whole, are covered by the Bloatworm’s body and smothered to death. The Bloatworm will then remain completely stationary until the corpse has rotted to the point where it can easily be pulled apart into smaller, more manageable chunks.
Confrontations with Noxious Bloatworms never end well. In close proximity, the paralytic toxin is extremely potent and fast-acting. And any attempts to injure or kill a Bloatworm are ill-advised. Only a thin, fragile membrane separates the gaseous toxin from the Bloatworm’s stomach and digestive acids. These two substances are highly volatile upon contact, and just the smallest puncture or tear in that membrane will cause an explosive reaction. Long-range attacks are also not recommended. You may not be at ground zero for the initial explosion, but the flash-fire, from the ignition of gasses in the surrounding area, can also be deadly.
