These odd one-footed creatures have an extra set of froglike eyes on their heads to watch for aerial predators. They're very sociable and communally defend their nests. Where there is one hopeye, there are always others...

We were inspired by Balinese bamboo architecture, the idea being that colonists would expand after landing by building new structures onto the sides of their ship.
The native material used here isn't bamboo but "mushwood", from a fungal tree that starts as a squat round thing, then stretches itself up over the year until it is tall and skinny and perfect for harvesting.

It's not just night, it's an entire month when both suns barely rise above the horizon. A dangerous, magical time to be out exploring.
I'm working to bake some of the lighting in so the framerate isn't completely atrocious!

Blep tea is the exocolony's stimulant of choice. Made from a native purple grass and with a bitter taste that makes you stick your tongue out (blep!), it has mild hallucinogenic properties if prepared properly (or improperly, depending on the order) by a skilled barista. One of the many part-time jobs you can take as a teenager.

Rex's parents gave him dog ears (and a perpetually wet nose) as his genetic enhancement because it was a popular fashion when they left earth.

Vertumna is a largely tropical planet, with wet and dry seasons. The wet season is a dangerous time, when enormous beasts come out to hunt under the cover of the crashing storms.
Even young children take part in defense, pacing on top of the walls and acting as lookouts and runners.

The three at the bottom are Vriki, which I described to Mei as a "cute spider-shiba-plant hybrid". I didn't have the guts to go with the rightmost "tentacle-surprise!" version, but this did become the inspiration for the terrifying two-story-tall Faceless.
