The bad guys included the (again, shifting one letter over) Ewokuxiba, a parasitic alien species that uses their razor-edged tails to slice open a person, crawl inside and take over the hosts' bodies. Needless to say, I had fun designing these guys!
Since they were internal parasites that needed to connect their own nervous systems with those of the host bodies -- like an unholy kind of puppeteer manipulating a hand puppet -- I decided it would make sense (and make for good, icky video game visuals) for the Ewokuxiba to look like incomplete, partial animals; their limbs and appendages would end in stumps resembling raw organs, ready to instantly join up with the hosts' innards.
I really got into this part of the assignment, and I figured it would be fun (and impress Mr. X) to build a macquette (small 3D model) instead of drawing the Ewokuxiba. And so, here is the result.
Imagine waking up in the middle of the night to find this ugly mug crawling toward your face:
