Description

Alright so this is a ref sheet for a new oc and a new original species of mine all in one. This guy is called BOOM and he's a tar gremlin he's kinda like the mascot for the species. If you want to know more about him and the species read on, if you don't well then don't well then don't read on obviously. :B Also I really hate doing ref sheets and this looks so sloppy bleh. ;n;



  :bulletpurple: Species: Tar Gremlin
   +Tar gremlins are a race of humanoid like creatures that dwell in and around well, tar pits.

   +All tar gremlins have purplish skin which can range from very light to very dark, multiple spots cover
    their skin as well.  The spots can be any colour but each tar gremlin only has one colour of spots. Ex. One
    may have orange spots like BOOM or one may have green spots etc. Their eyes are always the same
    colour as their spots. Ex. BOOM has orange spots so he also has orange eyes. The bluish part of their eye
    is always blue and their hands and face always white. There are mutations though. For more examples of
    tar gremlins click here ==> sta.sh/01zpt0l57bit and here ==> fav.me/d7g0ljn

   +All tar gremlins have the ability to transform into a large vicious creature which is referred to as "Monster
    form". All monster forms look similar in that they are long and tall. There is slight differences in every one
    of them though such as different ear fins, tails etc. Monster forms can swim through thick tar as if it were
    water. Monster forms can also spray a stream of hot putrid tar from their mouths. Contact with the stream
    would cause burns and loss of vision if gotten in the eyes. To view the transformation from humanoid to
    monster click here ==> sta.sh/01ow8zd2e1a0
    Monster form doesn't last very long but it is a force to be reckoned with because of it's resilience.

    +Tar gremlins only mate when in monster form, and monster form can ONLY be reached after a tar
     gremlin has taken enough physical damage. So, this means potential pairs must first beat each other to
     near death before mating. After mating the female lays hundreds of greenish eggs around the edges of
     the tar pits and watches over them until they hatch. When they hatch the young in their fragile tadpole like
     form must hurry to the center of the tar pits and bury themselves deep within. The ones that don't make it
     are eaten by their mother. The ones that make it lie nestled under the tar until they mature into their
     humanoid form. Once they mature, they rise up from the tar and begin their journey through life.

    +Tar gremlins only mate during a certain time of year, usually around autumn in an event known as 'Spawning season'
      Where they all travel from where ever they are back to the tar pits to reproduce.

    +Tar gremlins have been known to make their way into human populated areas and steal from them.
     In fact, this is where tar gremlins obtain their clothes! You'll find a tar gremlin wearing almost anything as
     they usually grab the first thing they come across and wear it, they're not picky.

    +Tar gremlins are pretty small height wise with females reaching no more than 5' 2'' and males no more
      than 5' 4''. This changes when in monster form obviously.

     +Male tar gremlins have a very hard protective shell covering their privates, this only opens during
      mating and to urinate. Females do not have this.

     +Tar gremlins can live to be over 300 years. Females usually live longer than males. While tar gremlins can
       transform from the moment they leave the pits, they're not capable of reproducing until they're at least 5
       years old. (This would be about 50 in human years)

     +Tar gremlins can hatch with any colour of hair. Black, brown, blonde, white etc.

     +Tar gremlins usually name themselves after something they really like or something that defines them, because tar gremlin     
        parents don't name their offspring they have to name themselves. ex. BOOM is called so because of his love for explosions.
        They don't have human names like John, Jane etc.

     +All tar gremlins have a fear of Lanky the self proclaimed mutant queen. She is a tar gremlin who is abnormally tall and 
       strong for the species. Females fear her much more than males because she is so aggressive and merciless towards them. She
       actually isn't aggressive towards males at all but likes to harass them in a playful way. She likes to think she owns all the males
       and sees other females as a threat. She wouldn't think twice about killing her fellow females over the smallest things. View her
       here: fav.me/d7g0ljn

      +Tar gremlins don't believe in 'Love'. Yes they care for one another and look out for one another but males and females only come
         together to mate and when done leave each other. They also can't understand why two males or two females would be together.
         They see mating as something that has to be done to keep a species alive and seeing as how only a male and female can  
         reproduce the concept of two males or two females together baffles them. It's not that they find it disgusting they just can't  
         understand.

     +Tar gremlins don't like fire. Because you know, fire and tar don't mix.
      ===

      Now onto BOOM himself.


Headshot of him here --> sta.sh/0o623q8amjo Another fullbody pic of him here --> fav.me/d7dw544

  :bulletpurple: Name:
   -BOOM (Seeing as how Tar Gremlin parents don't name their offspring Boom had to name himself. So he
     chose to name himself after the noise an explosion makes, because he LOVES them.)
  :bulletpurple: Gender:
   -Male
  :bulletpurple: Age:
   -Tar Gremlin years: 2 Human years: 20. 1 tar gremlin year = 10 human years.
  :bulletpurple: Height:
   -In his humanoid form 5' 2'', In his monster form 7 foot.
  :bulletpurple: Weight:
  -110lbs humanoid form, 200lbs monster form.
  :bulletpurple: Special Abilities:
   -Well I guess his ability to transform would be considered special. Monster form' most deadly attack is his
   ability to spray a stream of putrid tar from his mouth. Contact with the stream would reduce vision and
   endurance leaving one open for attack.
  :bulletpurple: Weapons:
   -Bazooka and grenades. He loves explosions of all kinds.
  :bulletpurple: Strengths:
  -Quite intelligent and hard to fool wouldn't fall for any kind of tricks.
  -Has excellent eyesight and spots things very quickly. He would be difficult to take by surprise.
  -Monster form is incredibly resilient and hard to bring down once he enters it.
  :bulletpurple: Weaknesses:
  -He's quite lazy and tends to nap at the most random of times.
  -Terrible in close quarters.
  -He CANNOT enter monster form at will. In order to enter monster form he has to receive a certain
   amount of physical damage first. If the damage is incredibly severe he could die before he gets a chance to enter it.
  -Due to the fact that BOOM' body is tar based hit him with enough fire and he may just explode...
  :bulletpurple: Personality:
  -Incredibly snarky and pessimistic. Not very friendly and quick to point out flaws. Always sees the worst in
   everything and has no hope in anything. He also gets really excitable with any kind of explosives. Sometimes he
   gets a little too carried away with them and may try to blow up anything...
  :bulletpurple: Backstory
   -BOOM began his life like any other tar gremlin as a defenseless brainless tadpole trying to escape his
   mothers snapping jaws. He managed to escape and burrow himself deep in the tar pits until he matured
   into his current form. He then rose and began his life. He currently lives in a cabin in the woods not far from where
   he hatched. He has great interest in guns and explosives of all kinds. All his weapons he has he stole
   from unsuspecting humans at one time or another, he has quite a collection in his cabin. He's quite
   suspicious of everyone especially those taller than him and would just rather be left alone.

   ---

And that's it. I think I have everything here but I'm not sure... If anyone wants to know more about the
species or BOOM or whatever just go right ahead and ask me I'd be delighted to answer!

BOOM & Tar Gremlins (c) me.
