One of my friends dared me to create an alien species based on World War 2 technology. Since I'm pretty fascinated with the wartime era, I was more than happy to oblige. This species was made mostly for fun and doesn't necessarily have the personal connections to myself that many of my other alien species have. This species hasn't discovered space travel, yet so it's highly unlikely you'll see them interact with my other species.

For the longest time, I was scratching my head as to what species they should be based on.
I was researching folklore and legends that came out of that time, and I stumbled across the story of the horned demon cat of London where several soldiers taking refuge in a house reported seeing a large, demonic cat at the top of the stairs. Investigation into the house revealed what appeared to be a summoning ritual. Most likely summoning a demonic cat named Big Ears through Scottish summoning technique. I've included links with more information for anyone who may be interested in reading more about the story.

I immediately thought that a horned cat species would be a nice reference towards the stories of the era.
They are mostly based on domestic cats with some gremlin-like features. (The gremlin features also being a reference to the legendary stories of WWII. >_< )

Their horns come in a variety of shapes and sizes. This little lady here has rather unimpressive horns compared to other members of her species.

I decided at the last minute to turn this into a sort of war propaganda poster. I always saw those posters as fun, patriotic, and a look back into days gone by!
