Possible critter morphs for frosty planet critters

[tHe_silent_H]

Was disappointed by the lack of critter morphs for the new critters, so if the Klei needs some idea's I have some here.

1. FLox->Crystal Flox. if feed Sleetwheat(the plant and grain) gain a chance for crystal flox that only eat sleetwheat. excrete polluted dirt but grow crystalline antlers that can be shorn for crystal shards. Crystal shards can be refined in the glass forge for quartz(we have lumen quarts but no regular quartz?) and quartz should be found naturally on the map near lumen quartz(but when excavated turn into shards). quartz can be used in all glass applications except solar panels for a +20% décor bonus. additionally can be further refined into a space material (recipe?)crystal glass which can be used for solar panels and when used as tiles doesn't block any light and insulates. if we want to go one step further, can be refined again into an uncarved lumen quartz when combined with a radiant bug egg.

 

2. Bammoth-> Iglmoth. not sure how we'd morph but the basic premise is that it could be shorn for snow(for our bon bon trees) would look like it has an igloo pattern instead of it's fur. still produces patties

 

3. Spigot Seal ->Silver Seal. feeding brackene from a critter fountain gives this morph. feeds from the critter fountain instead of trees to gain calories, excretes liquid mercury. Still drops tallow on death.

Flower Flox

These Flox variants feed off decor plants, which causes them to grow flowers on their heads and can be shorn for three seeds of the type you fed them.

 

Medmoths

A Bammoth variant that can be shorn for less reed fiber, but their Medmoth paddies can be used at an Apothecary to produce medication.

the flox one feels like it would be hard to balance(do they eat 3 seeds and you get 3 back or do you get extra) so either it would be self sustaining(may as well farm pips) of self growing(What do i do with all these seeds/flox)and ofc if they eat different types of seeds what happens then, how would the game know what antlers to grow, what if a wild one eats your seeds, but you might be onto something, what if décor value influenced morphs, so high décor value gets quality morph and really low décor value give the flower morph, which counts as a fancy decor item and can be shears for flowers, combine that with your medmoth and we could have an alternative to coal medications

The goal would be to get 3 seeds for 1 eaten seed. It only works on decor plant seeds, as well.
