Greetings Citizens!
This week’s episode of Happy Hour we’re going back to the Gamedev that started it all. 

As you know, Star Citizen will need lots of star systems, and those systems will need planets, and those planets will need inhabitants. In this Friday’s Happy Hour: Gamedev, Character Art Director Josh Herman will create the concept of a new creature LIVE with direct input from you, the backers. This is your chance to be a part of the creative process live, as we’ll take suggestions from the chat, and put important decisions up to vote. What creature will you help Josh create this Friday on Happy Hour? Post your initial ideas below, don’t forget to vote on the ones you like, and tune in LIVE this Friday at 12pm PST on http://twitch.tv/starcitizen.

The Rules

  • Post only ONE suggestion at a time. Suggestions below should be for types of creatures i.e. birds, fish, tigers, etc. Replies with more than one suggestion skewer the voting and will be removed.
  • You may post as many suggestions as you like, as long as they are in individual replies to the OP.
  • Only post replies to the OP. We are using Nested so we can easily sort your most voted on suggestions, not to have a nested conversation (unfortunately Classic threads cannot be sorted by votes at this time. Nested replies will be removed and thus not considered.
  • Keep your suggestions short. One or two words, max. Brevity is your friend. Suggestions that are too long will be removed and thus not considered.
  • Suggestions can be about any form of creature you can think of. We will be picking the top voted suggestions and creating a hybrid of them.
  • No links or images.
  • You may (and should) vote on as many suggestions you want to see included as you can.
  • Have fun with it.

I've been chatting with Ziff PHH on Spectrum for his idea of an ambulatory shade tree that follows my herd animals.  Predators want a shady place to eat their kill and to launch attacks from, and when they're done eating, the trees ingest the corpse cleaning up the landscape.

Could be really cool to watch, plus it solves the problem of players just killing everything that moves and leaving bodies around.

How about 3.0 a reality?

If Josh herman can make 3.0 a reality all on his own.. damn, that man needs a payraise.
I get where you're coming from tho, 3.0 can't get here fast enough.

Wouldn't work anyway. They're making a hybrid of the top two answers so at this point the result would be a cross between a space whale and 3.0. What features of 3.0 wouldn't be included are unknown but probably cause for a decent revolt.  Add blowhole, lose planetary landings?

Yeah, I have no idea why they can't just sort by best and leave comments collapsed.  It's not like it's a feature of Reddit or anything.

IT SHOULD BE SCARY AND DEADLY.

Personally I think it should look benign. Hard to trap food if you're running about scaring it off and making noise.  That would be like a lion roaring and walking upright instead of being quiet and slinking through the grass.
