Part 1 Of My Ghoul Designs. Starting Off With Rain And Dewdrop ✨

Part 1 of my ghoul designs. Starting off with Rain and Dewdrop ✨

Feel free to ask questions cause I'd gladly share my creative process, it's just that idk where to start :')

Headcanons and explanation about their design and respective elements under the cut:

Water Ghouls

They have thin and small horns that can easily break off. Their horns are meant for display purposes and not for butting heads with other ghouls

They have the thickest and longest tails among the ghouls. Due to this, they are one of the 2 elements that have non-prehensile tails. This does not however stop them from using their tails as a whip for smacking things and other ghouls as a warning

With what they lack in horns and defenses, they make up for being venomous/toxic

Colors = cool colors (red, orange, yellow are rare)

Rain

His tentacle-like hair is affected by his emotions. The stronger the emotion, the more curly it becomes. If he's bored or sad, it goes limp

Tends to drag his tail while he walks, easily trips. On more than one occasion, his packmates accidentally stepped on his tail

Has a venomous barb on his tail

Fire Ghouls

They have goat-like horns that point inward, a fire orb can appear when they use their magic

Wide mouths that have slits on the cheeks. These openings act as a vent to help regulate body temperature

You can tell the maturity of the ghoul by the color of their flames (Blue = young/inexperienced, Red = old). If their flames are green, something is wrong

Colors = ranges from warm colors to black/brown only

Dewdrop

Some water ghoul features carried over after his transition. The gills on his neck act as a replacement for a fire ghoul's mouth vent

Blind eye effect: The fire transition gave his eyes a foggy look. Vision is completely fine but it seems like he's always staring blankly into space

Had his hair cut off days after the transition by Aether and Mountain because they were worried about him. He was ripping locks of his hair from his scalp to calm himself (think of a bird plucking its own feathers)

His hair grew back during Copia's papacy but it now grows unevenly and needs to be constantly fixed/tied back
