In tinkering with options for my newly revamped world, I've come across a fascinating species of creatures. The Warmogs are originally modeled after a race in my world called Ukhal. But for the sake of creativity, I changed the name of the race, and also many physical attributes. The orginal Ukhal weren't much different from orcs. However, the Warmogs are another matter.
Here's a description, so far as I've gone with it:
Warmogs have hideous heads, hairless, with a vertical slit between the "eyes" that serves as the air passageway. Their eyes themselves are covered with transparent skin, giving the appearance that they have glowing orbs beneath the surface but not real eyes. Their skin is smooth as sanded wood, and varies in color from sallow to dark brown. Instead of fingers, they have five curving claws at the end of each arm. Their large, ungainly heads are set upon thick necks and wide shoulders. Their mouths are sealed shut except when they're eating or making noises, which combined with the absence of eyes gives the impression that their faces are featureless. Their jaws can dislocate and open wide enough to eat a man's head in one bite, and they have razor-sharp, blackish teeth.
Apologies that it's not very crisp or well-written; it's just the ideas I've had gathered into a paragraph. Hopefully I can elaborate and expand more as I go on. So anyway, what do you think? How do they strike you?
I always thought the most terrifying creatures were the ones that were unreadable, so lacking facial features ranks right up there.
They sound original.
Are they able to see well, even through the transparent skin that covers their eyes?
