A journal entry page of a created creature (The Bleeding Heart Pip, but more commonly known as Pip). There is an drawing of a stalagmite cave with a creature on the celling and wrapped vines around two stalagmites on either side of the creature. The creature can produce bioluminescent spores that then fall into water, making the water glow. There is a second diagram with the part of the creature in the ground, showing it develops barbs to better stay up on the celling. A feature of the creature is the spores can be used as a torch where the circular spore is at the top and a vine is growing along a stick that is underneath the spore. The meaning for the name of the bleeding heart pip is due to it's vines produce pink flowers that are shaped like hearts. And Pip due to it's spores being edible before hitting the water.
A second journal entry which shows a coffee stain in the top right corner, along with 4 different variants of the Pip. The four different variants include: - A green and blue one with pink flowers (The Water Pip) which if eaten pre-maturely can cause temporary deafness. - An orange-brown and red one with white flowers (The Fire Pip) which can cause paralysis if eaten pre-maturely - A Grey and brown one with red-orange flowers(The Earth Pip) which is known for releasing spores into water, causing it to appear like regular solid ground / solid rock platforms. - A dark green and yellow one with purple flowers (The Air Pip) which the spores will float in the air and look similar to fire-flies, but eating one pre-maturely can cause temporary blindness. They change colour when they are safe to eat.
Absolutely had a blast at my first PAX West con, and managed to get into an amazing panel hosted by the @storysquadcast.bsky.social @officialpax.bsky.social
*Side Note*
Totally already have plans for sub-species of Lizard folks to create entire cults based of the creatures defense mechanism.
