At first I thought they were going to be legit sea bunnies...you know... like the sea slug, but no! It's even cuter, lol

Description (identical for all):
Sea bunnies are a favorite companion of young sea folk as they are among the gentlest of animals. They are not especially shy, and will readily take greens from your hand after sniffing it for a little while. They grow relatively quickly and in the right environment, a simple setup for a pen will do well to keep them happy. However, they are rare sights outside of their native region because of their delicate nature. The only place on the mainland known to hold sea bunnies is the Keep, where they live full-time in special enchanted aquariums designed to perfectly mimic their natural habitats. They don't make particularly useful companions, but they are the subject of much exciting research at the Keep because of their poisonous tissues. They aren't toxic enough to seriously hurt animals that eat them, but it seems their taste is so foul that nothing tries a second time.

Hmmm...

I wonder why the male adult sprite has this sharp kink/angle where the body is lifted from the ground; it looks weird to me, as if there was some scenery/background that got removed. The hatchlings are described as "soft to the touch" and judging from the sprites in general this is also the case for the adult; thus, wouldn't a squishy body gently curves up if it poses like that?

In general, I find the faces of the females a bit scary, like something cute (bunny!) drawn in a creepy way (e.g., also Chucky or Pennywise). So, I am undecided about them (but the antennae are adorable and beautifully done, I love such details). :t-shrug:

I think this species is rather cute! Trying to get both genders for each one; the females adore me right now. :lol:

With the female, I agree the face is kind of creepy. Both genders look like they're :srs: but the female's left eye is drooping a little. The head doesn't appear to be tilting enough for the angle line of the eyes, but :t-shrug:

When it comes to the male, though, to me it looks like they're just soft, almost gelatinous, so that the part touching the invisible ground is absolutely flat, even sagging completely loose, and then the upper half has made a very sharp degree change rising up like that. I think, if you had a ground line drawn, it would look perfectly correct.

Are they still flooding the stream? After picking up normal eggs, I still don't see any nudies.
