Oid design

Presenting for your consideration: an Oid, a prominent monster in the first Crocazill story arc. How big is it? To give you an idea, Crocazill is about six foot four and even he only comes up to a head above the first eye.

Extremely tough, they were the dominant predators on their planet, and Crocazill and Skylla had their work cut out when they were stranded there. But with the world's destruction, the Oids were brought to earth, hiding in fragments of their former home.

Although originally I had the Skullweeds as the Oid's main prey, I decided to make it so that they were the larval stage, because I think they're too cool to appear only in flashback and it was easier to come up with a design for the Oids that way. Though Oids do still eat them. Oids eat anything, really.

See, Skullweeds are kind of like a living eggshell. They serve as a vessel where the adult grows inside, then when they grow to be about twice as large they crack open, hatching an Oid.
