I Just Found An Albino Worm

One thing I really love about Rain World's worldbuilding is how fresh of a take on the Advanced Precursor trope it has, just in the sense that there's a very real sense that the Benefactors were. just people.

Like, in broad strokes they are the Advanced Precursor trope, a bunch of stylish jerks that were there, built some cool ruins, fucked shit up, and are Gone now. But the way they go about it is refreshingly human. Like, ascending to a higher plane of existence is a classic thing for precursors to do but the benefactors give a real sense of what it would be like for a society to do that. Not just in the logistics but in the circumstances that would cause it.

It helps a lot that the remains they left behind are so telling about who they were. There's an endearing mundanity to a lot of the pearls that gives a sense that they were just people in the end, and we don't really get that stuff with other Advanced Precursors in media. I really can't imagine like, a chozo working minimum wage.

3D model of an Arctic Shufaet, my fictional species ~

Made in Blender.

Their idea is old and they (as well as other related species), appeared in some of my older art, but I haven't worked with their lore and design much. At some point they became so insignificant that even just their existence in canon was questionable.

But some time ago one of them appeared in my newest story as one of the main characters, so I tried to make a model for this species, while trying to figure out who they are and how to depict them. I usually perceive them as some "alternative wolves" from my world, but in fact they are some their very own thing.

They are quite huge solitary predators from distant northern lands, still quite mysterious though and not really willing to reveal their secrets (they are known as unfriendly loners, so this is natural)

They are also drawn to crystals - in one of my previous posts I hinted that a Kotie should be careful when wandering through the crystal cave, as there are some other creatures who are attracted to such places. And so, I can finally show you who these creatures are :)
