Notes:
As stated above, this is my creation for the “Odds or Evens” challenge that I set last week. It’s not too late to create your own if you like the sound of the challenge!

Initially I was going to try having 3 legs, each with a different kind of foot on the end, but the creature was walking kinda goofily with 3 legs, so I tinkered with the leg layout some more and eventually got 5 of them all coming off one stalk, which gives the five footed oddicus a very interesting gait.

Originally I had an ear slung under his mouth, however when he roars the ear clips through the bottom of the mouth very obviously, so I had to scrap that idea. With one of the roar animations the body also… flips out a bit. So I may have to report an animation bug as well.

Even though the mouth comes with two horns and thus could technically not be considered outside the bounds of being an “Odds” creature, I added an extra horn to the front of the mouth to give it a total of three. Three nostrils along the top and one giant, central eye rounds out the oddness!

There’s still room in the complexity meter to add arms to this creature, but a single arm looked distinctly ungainly, so I left it out. If I were to actually play this creature I would add two arms to it, coming off the middle of the body in all likelihood.
