Description

These small docile creatures appear to most as small clumps of dirt and grass. Each of these creatures have a distinct body shape, eye and nasal cavitie that appear as large holes, no two look alike but they all have a general anatomy structure consisting of 2 front legs and 4 in the back. These creatures have superior camouflage even down to their moss-like tongues and green blood as well as colossal strength and speed. Though the Tower Knots are rarely seen alone, they will occasionally separate from their tower to go in search of food or serve as a scout. They work in clans because the Tower Knots are by nature colony workers, each assigned a distinct task by the emperor knot. They build towers out of mud, twigs and grass and move these towers day in and day out all throughout the seasons migrating on a constant basis toward the sun. These creatures can't survive cold weather, they need the sun and the food that it provides to stay alive. Most of the time their on the move, various groups of workers will position themselves at the base as others serve as watchers and directors. Scientist are still not sure how they navigate, it's believed though that they can detect heat on extreme high levels and continue to move toward the warmest locations miles and miles away. Base workers take turns in rotation allowing each to gain enough rest in between each move. The tower rarely sits in one location much longer than a few days. The Tower Knots are more well known by the Towers they move than the creatures themselves.

Thanks everyone, Glad you liked this concept.. it was after I finished it that they kind of reminded me of the Fraggles in a very small way. They were also inspired by Miyazaki's forest/tree spirits on Princess Mononoke.
