Species concepts

Sample design from a species I am developing.

AHah I love it when I try working on an old character idea and it turns into something really cool like this! These guys are inspired by baku spirits, I haven't worked out a lot of info on them yet. Here's what I've come up with so far:
-They do not have mouths, but they do have curly little trunk-like noses. They consume dreams/nightmares
-There is stretchy skin connecting between their legs and tail, they can envelop something or someone completely
-The fur around their neck and along the bottom of their bodies is extremely soft and contains a powder that relaxes creatures that breathe it in.
-They communicate to each other with the bells around their neck, each one has a unique bell.

Basically instead of going around and finding prey that are already sleeping like a baku normally would, they put their prey to sleep with extreme comfort and relaxation. After they feed on their victim's dreams/nightmares, they find or make a place where they won't be harmed by predators or other dangers and make their escape just a little bit before they awake. The victim wakes up feeling very refreshed, although not dreaming can be damaging to their well-being if done very often. These guys are probably bred in captivity and used for sleep-related medical treatments, like for those suffering from chronic sleep disorders, they can probably be trained not to consume the dreams every time they put their patient to sleep.

Species design, character design, and artwork are MINE you may not use it in any way shape or form

        I would be too, they're very unique but within a certain... realm of a style and that can attract unwanted attention usually.
