Creatures of the void (Pre-order DLC) Preview

[Garfazz Steamfang]

Hello guys!
I'm not a german myself but i have found a german let's play of stellaris right now. And, on the species selections, we can see some new aliens portraits. I'm pretty sure they are the Creature of the Void portraits.It seems we have 5 new portraits and a reptilian race which have been modified with horns. (http://www.stellariswiki.com/Species#/media/File:Reptilian_group.png) The first one on the second line.
Just have a look and talk about it!

(start at 3:17)


EDIT: We can see them better here:

In this one we can see owlmen too. I don't know how to obtain them but they look nice.

Cool beans.

The new Mammalian one looks cool, the Hydra one looks weird, Seriously a Hydra in space? That makes no sense........
wdf Seriously? QQ W/e lol
And the Spider one Looks weird. xD

The Hydra may have been inspired by the Hydral from "The Last Federation." Which is an Indie strategy game.

I like the evil porcupine too. I think it's my favourite Mammalian. I was a bit surprised that the hydra is a (edit) molluscoid and not a reptilian.

I like the evil porcupine too. I think it's my favourite Mammalian. I was a bit surprised that the hydra is a fungoid and not a reptilian.

It's moluscoid though. (See 3:34) Which would make it more related octopi and such, which makes sense for a sea creature.

Multiple heads is one way to evolve grasping appendages I suppose.

Not sure if the brains are in the heads look a tad small.

Good find, @Garfazz Steamfang

Evil Porcupine (somehow I don't think these are the hedgehogs @Groogy had in mind):

No "new" reptilian portrait slot (Creatures of the Void only added 5 new species portraits):

Brow Owl and Dinosaur Bird:

Shadowy Anthropoid:

Hydra/Xenomorph:

Fungoid Infected Mammalian:

...and a reptilian race which have been modified with horns.

That Reptilian with horns is a bit disappointing. Don't get me wrong, I think it looks better than the initial draft, but some of us were delighted when we thought the horned version were sub-species of the original one:

Pierson's Puppeteers have that deal - brain in the torso, heads are for eyes, mouths and manipulation..

Glad to see that body plan in play.

 

[TomosCaerllion]

That last fungoid one is terrifying.

This is interesting, I though Wiz and cKnoor said they're weren't ready during the MP stream. Were they in the dark and didn't know or are these just the initial design and still being worked on (i.e. more colour pallette being add for them).

 

[Milten]

Oh, they've also improved existing portraits, humans are nice to look at finally. Thanks for second video, OP, I was looking for detailed enough race design preview.

 

[Millefleurs]

You're totally right. They are molluscoid. I mix these both phenotypes alway up. I will edit it.

In the second video if you look closely to the hydras they have 3 heads and 2 hand-tentacles. So they should be able to grab.

 

[The_Meme_Man]

Well this video was nice to practice listening to German

 

[Garfazz Steamfang]

Thanks for the screens ahhheygao.
I'm just kind of curious about those space owl, are they a bonus portrait added in creatures of the void?

 

[Lareon]

Shadowy Anthropoid:

Yup. Not to mention the title of that thread soliciting suggestions for these DLC portraits:

Portrait DLC's for Stellaris - What do you want?

Coincidence? I think not!

 

[Cynical Dreamer]

Das ist so schöne !

This arthropoid is beautiful
