Your challenge this week is to create an original shelled alien character that resides on a planet completely covered in water.
The winner this week will receive a Heromachine 3 version of their winning character designed by me. Not the greatest award, but better than a fish hook to the eye!

Can it be “armored”? Like an armor shell?
As long as the shell is a part of the character – not just an added piece or part of a costume
My submission this week is a female warrior from an aquatic army. Her race has developed hard, shell armor to protect themselves in battle. They are also proficient in trident combat and adorn themselves with additional rare metal armor to show their prowess in battle. They wear carved bone necklaces made from the remains of their slain enemies as intimidation in battle.

Spider Crab! Spider Crab! Don’t look these guys up man! They’re freaking and terrifying! Look out! Here come the Spider Crab!!!!
Teramet
An eel like creature from the water planet Dexeris
Its body is encased in a thick boney armor, with sharp blade like protrusions, and a alligator type tail that gives it great speed. It has three sets of eyes for detecting the slightest movement, and the red elongated orbs on the sides of its head are heat sensing organs.

An undersea warrior is only as good as his borrowed shells when hit by a predator. Pictured here is a mating pair fighting off a ‘crocsigore’ while mating. It’s the only time their females are fertile. In the background is shown one of their clan’s ships, complete with three visible, fully loaded pearl cannons. Their proms tend to get a bit rough on the local sea life. This particular lover’s lane is swept clear of foliage, to make sure there’s no cover to prolong killing their predators.
