About Unusual Creatures

The aim of these contests are to help members reach deep down to their creativity banks and come up with a totally strange, bizarre and very unusual creature and then find a way to place them in a strange or unusual scene or predicament. Entries will be judged on originality, detail to the set theme or task, and style of writing.

Maybe you'd even like to take a stab on drawing your unusual creature too! Though no extra points will be given, but it would certainly give us all something more to look at.
