Creature Contest #2 is live!

Hey Tamers!

The first Creature Contest was wild - and it’s officially paying off in-game. 🐛

The contest winners have arrived in Decktamer: Chompillar, Orcarill, and the Ouroboros Eel are now part of the world (with a few tweaks so they fit the roster perfectly). Huge thanks again to everyone who participated - seeing community ideas become real creatures was genuinely awesome.

So we thought… let’s do it again!

Welcome to the 2nd Decktamer Creature Contest!

Submit a brand-new creature concept, make it to the finals, and the winner gets implemented into the game. 🐉⚔️

👇 How to participate:

1️⃣ Join our Discord

2️⃣ Go to #creature-contest-2

3️⃣ Create one post per creature (you can submit multiple - just make multiple posts!)

4️⃣ Final winner will be chosen through a Discord-wide voting round

📋 Submission rules (please read carefully!)

✅ Your creature must be a wild creature that can appear in regular encounters.

🚫 No special creatures (nothing like the former human / the aberration).

🚫 No evolutions (so no starters).

🧵 1 creature = 1 forum post.

🗳️ Round 1 runs until February 14 (Valentine's day how romantic 🌹)

👪 We (the dev team) will pick 3 finalists from Round 1.

📢 Round 2 will be a community vote to determine the final winner.

❗Important change this time:

🚫 No AI in submissions. If your submission uses AI (especially AI images), it won’t be eligible. We want to avoid the final design being influenced by AI visuals in any way.

✅ You can repost creatures from the first contest - but if your original post included an AI image, repost it without the image to be eligible.

What your post must include

Mandatory

• A description of the creature’s design

• No AI (otherwise it can’t move to Round 2)

Optional (but encouraged!)

• Creature name

• References (art made by someone else is fine)

• Sketches

• Danger level (1–4)

• Wild behavior / bestiary-style info

• Move/talent ideas (anything that fits Decktamer’s style)

If your creature wins, we may adjust certain elements for production/balance — but we’ll stay in contact with you so your vision stays intact.

And just like last time: the winning creature will be drawn from scratch by us to match Decktamer’s art direction, so don’t worry if you’re not an artist. This contest is about concept, not execution.

See you deep in the abyss... and in the #creature-contest-2 channel!

💚 The Devs 🐉
