Your gateway to endless inspiration
I’ve decided that I’ll draw some of the Smiling/Nightmare Critter OCs in my free time, along with them interacting with the other Smiling/Nightmare Critters.
I’ll list the characters’ names in the poll below, with descriptions of each character below the poll.
Sleepy Sheepy
Sleepy was a simply a rough draft concept to replace Catnap after the scandal, but was scrapped shortly after.
Their base design was then used to create Baba Chops, by inverting the colors & changing the scent.
Their appearance was a sheep with thick white wool & black limbs, along with tan hooves & horns. They wore a cloud shaped pendant with 3 Zs in it, & would’ve had German Chamomile as their scent.
Their personality wasn’t completely developed yet, but was said to have a drowsy demeanor but was a good listener & would’ve given good advice to the Smiling Critters.
Mary Little
Mary was created from the scrapped concept of Sleepy, & was a 1991 limited edition toy to celebrate the 3-year anniversary of the Smiling Critters.
Her appearance is a lamb with short white wool & limbs, & black hooves. She wears a bell shaped pendant, & has Roman Chamomile as her scent.
Her personality is described has innocent, overly curious, & a bit naive & gullible. She views everyone has her friend & wants everyone to get along.
She’ll often try to invite the Nightmare Critters to join in the Smiling Critters’ games to feel included, but this would lead to some disagreements & tension between the Smiling/Nightmare Critters.
Skunky Funk
Skunky was a scrapped/recalled toy that was created for the Nightmare Critters toy line. She would’ve been a counterpart to Sleepy.
Her appearance is a skunk with dark blue-violet fur with white stripes. She wore a housefly shaped pendant, & has Ambergris as her scent.
Her scent was actually the reason for her being recalled, complained that it was too pungent & smelled “gross”.
Her personality is described has moody, reserved & snippy. She prefers to be alone, secretly worried that the other Nightmare Critters don’t like her. She’s very condescending towards others & very self-deprecating towards herself.
Liar-Lier
Liar-Lier was created as a counterpart for Mary Little, & was released shortly after Mary as a limited edition toy as well.
His appearance is an opossum with dark brown fur, cream face & belly fur, & peach hand, feet & tail. He wears a crossed finger shaped pendant, & has Patchouli as his scent.
He’s personality is described to be mischievous, sarcastic, & a bit of a prankster. He’s known to lie a lot to cause fights between both the Smiling Critters & even the Nightmare Critters. He loves drama.
He’s close friends with Rabie Baby, who tells him the latest gossip which he’ll then exaggerate to start fights. If he’s caught, he’ll “play dead” to startle & freak out the Smiling Critters, this trick doesn’t that well with most of the other Nightmare Critters.
