#090 Shellder / #091 CloysterThese guys take inspiration from a few different bivalves, including the zebra musses and the pteria penguin. The insides of their shells are iridescent like nacre (mother of pearl), and the spikes at the back are byssus threads, which bivalves use to attach to rocks or other surfaces—similar to the “spikes” of Silcoon and Cascoon. For Cloyster in particular, we removed the second layer of shell that used to give it a yonic look, and gave it white nacre spikes that are also meant to look more like icicles. -- source link
