Everyone's got some monster that lurks in the corner of their mind, and drags itself up from the dark crevice of their subconscious in that late hours of the night. Show us what monster you envision: draw a youma!
Rules:
1) You may use any medium you like, digital or traditional. The only criteria is that you draw some sort of monster (or youma). This is a judged contest, and multiple awards will be given out! Do you have a truly vicious monster? Are you afraid of fluffy little mice youma? Just draw a creature from your imagination! Every participant will be awarded one ticket upon posting an entry. You may enter up to two pieces (and claim a ticket for both of them).
2) This game will run until Midnight PST Thursday, the 29th . A post will be made to officially close this thread at that time!
3) Please do not attempt to cheat! You may use references if you like, but no tracing or stealing already existing concepts. We want to see your creativity!

Duskwyrm
Duskwyrms, while wyrmlike, are not true draconids. While highly aggressive and drasagonlike in shape, they, unlike a true dragon, do not exhibit a desire for the hoarding of treasures, nor do Duskwyrms speak or make bargains. The first sign of a duskwyrm is in fact their glowing eyes and broken, half-connected, acidinc mouth. A duskwyrm's skin is smooth and scaled, like a snake's and they only have two forelegs, and this is only a rare mutation.
Although Duskwyrms are often considered abominations, some may be collected as eggs and hatched for domestication, and were in fact in high demand as pets and guard creatures.
"Cat Demon" Youma - Youma's that appear like a cat but have cloven hooves for their paws, and scythed tails; with horns on their head and little batty wings. This particular one has had a few chomps taken out of him. . . He thinks it makes him look tougher with his spikey skull collar

Grendalough is a humanoid youma with a distinctively male tone of voice whenever it emotes, although any details about its past or any powers it may contain are doubtable from agent to agent. In the rift, this creature generally skulks around wet areas, and when it is taken out of the Rift it is gifted with both a vicious bite and the uncanny ability to take to any water as if that was its home.
...There is a possibility that, once, Grendalough was the summon animal of a particularly unlucky Knight; the summon was grasped and flooded with Chaos until it shattered, and the ripback through it severely wounded the Knight. If this is true or not, it's hard to say -- who keeps tabs on individual youma, anyways? They're all just monsters...right?
Aratnid: Aratnids are small swarming youma with something like a hive mind. They appear to be a cross between rat and spider with random insect wings thrown in for good measure. They are about the size of a small dog. Seeing one, it might be a little creepy, but its when they start to swarm that they are truly terrifying...

Second Entry!
LOUD NOISE YOUMA
Generally used by.. Generals who wish to give out orders to any hidden Negaversers.
Only those who have chaos coursing through them can hear any actual words. To anyone else, they hear a very very loud version of their most hated/feared sound.
For Order Folks, they just hear screaming.. Loud, earsplitting screaming. The kind of screaming that just makes you feel hopeless, you can't help whoever's screaming. There's no way to help them.. If you're Eternal or Higher, however.. You can pick through the screaming just enough to figure out what's going on.
Brought to life by those that love them so dearly that soon, they began to hunger for the love and tender care they once received. Now discarded like yesterday's leftover's. These youma stitch themselves together out of old discarded toys that once were as loved as they were.
Love Me Seymour! Are likely the last words you'll hear. wink

Stale Easter Candy
What happens to the old chocolate easter bunnies, peeps, jelly beans, and forgotten plastic eggs? Why they dry out and become old and crusty until they can't take it anymore and mass into an army of stale sugary sweets.
Beware the forgotten candy... because its shelf life isn't the only thing that is long.
In the late night hours, you swear you hear a noise, something tapping at glass. Checking your windows reveals nothing, and that is when you realize that the sound is coming from the sealed bathroom door.
Legends tell that mirrors contain a piece of the soul, that breaking one can shatter a piece of your own. These mirrors were once owned by people who have since passed away. It does not matter how, but in some way, they were broken, which leaves the next owner with a bit of a problem. After the mirror arrives, the prior owner's soul that has been trapped in the mirror is....agitated. Usually, the souls have a reason to be angry, or hold a grudge, emotions heightened by the transfer from their home...and this causes the cracks to spread...slowly. A few days after purchase, the spirit emerges, distorted and distressed, a rotting corpse....seeking to exact revenge on whatever poor soul happens to be near.

Entry 1: Very Hungry Butterflies Tiny little butterflies that flutter around your face, cute until they suddenly open up enormous toothy mouths! You are their favourite fruit!
Entry 2: Irongate Widow A spider-like entity made entirely of iron scrollwork, elegant curls and very sharp spikes. She likes to hide in upmarket areas, gated communities, blending in with the high fences, playing shadow lacework in the glow from the houses. Victims do not even see the sharp point of her foot descending on them as they are skewered and carried away.

Deceptively Fluffy likes to lull its donators food sources into a fake source of security, by pretending that it's cute and fluffy.
Its three heads are easily able to tuck into the mounds of nega-fluff that make up its body, rearing up to strike when it's waaay too late.
Whilst able to move, it tends to prefer to stay in place, allowing its donators victims to be the source of their own downfall.
Please note: donations contributions of energy and/or star seeds will always be greedily accepted.
A deceptively cute fluffball with really sharp teeth.
Slightly less terrible:
It looks like totally normal jewelry. Perhaps with an unusual aesthetic. Pieces to ward off the evil eye are usually round, and blue instead of green. But it looks cool, and it's relatively inexpensive.
.Nobody notices what's going on behind the findings until it's too late. Fragments of rift crystal, tendrils of chaos, and tiny teeth that latch on and never let go.
