Round moldable shape and can act as liquid to change itself into any shape
Furry with slime like texture
Two pointy ear shaped antennas are its sensors that feel around its environment
Has so vision
Body can open like a black hole that sucks up dream fuel

Bio: This creature does not to be in contact with any object or species, will avoid contact by shifting its body to avoid touch. Also, this creature cannot reproduce and from observation is formed from dust particles gathered over a long period of time. Without dream fuel the creature warps into itself and turns into dust.
Untitled video - Made with Clipchamp_1740386006006.mp4Sketch 1: This sketch I started from tweaking and experimenting with the code for the basic ball oscillation up and down. I liked having the fading affect with the transparent background and I wanted the ball to move more randomly. So I tried adding the random function to different parts of sine that would change its amplitude or adding random to circle X that changes its movement from the x-axis. Since the background is somewhat transparent you can faintly see the trails of the ball as it moves across the screen.

As well as, the background layer on top randomly changing from a value between 0 and 255 when the ball hits the side of the wall. In this sketch I also added a transparent layer for the fading effect.
Untitled video - Made with Clipchamp_1740384820367.mp4Sketch 3: I like this sketch the most for my generative creature because of its color changes and motion. When it changes colors it can look it the creature has disappeared for a while and come back in a different location because it is moving. And the pulsing motion feels like a creature that doesn't have a solid body and can float around, sort of like a jellyfish. Also, because of the transparent background it looks as if the creature could not have a sloid surface, instead one that is foggy.
