cokeandaspirin

To open with the idea, i think that we need more little critters that do not wonderful things, like new things with repeated skills, like a devouring life critters, or a diving water one.

Basically the idea of this critter being immaterial is that is a disvatage to him...
in its unupped form he only hav the chance of doing something if a eclipse is around
in its upped form, without the eclipse he can only eat sparks, and with a eclipse 1hp critters which is pretty limiting too.
Also since immaterial now is affected by shields sounds fair to me

♥COKE♥

SPECIAL THANKS TO PEPOKISH WHO MADE THE DIGITAL ART OF THIS CARD FROM A CRAPPY HAND DRAW THAT I MADE

I like this idea very much. 

I know some people don't like the idea of granting existing abilities to non-parent elements (i.e. dive for a water creature); but honestly, eventually it will be needed in order to strengthen mono and duo decks, which is also something I hear a lot of people wanting. 

As long as the card actually makes sense with the ability (i.e., a pegasus with devour makes no sense, nor a fire creature with freeze, etc), and does not lower synergy with other elements (this card does not diminish the synergy between darkness and gravity), I see absolutely no reason why cards like these should not be implemented.

I think simple yet effective is the way to go with card ideas, and this certainly fits the bill. 
Good job, and glad I could help out a bit!  (:

Interesting, but I'm missing the point of this card.  Unupgraded, it's useless without nightfall, and with nightfall is on weaker than a skeleton?  Upgraded it's still neigh-useless.  It can only eat 1HP creatures with nightfall, and with nightfall out, every dark and death creatures are a minimum of 2HP.  It would be restricted to only a handful of creatures it can eat: Lycanthrope (as it first comes out), Forest Spirit (unupgraded), Ash eater, Lava Golem (1st turn), Photons, Sparks, Fate Egg, and Deja Vu (Unupgraded).

u can also spam cells to feed him or skellies or whatever the point of this card, is that its just like the skellis, or ash eaters or or photon, is a little card, with a little ability, problem is that u guys are used to make fancy critters, or fancy abilities. want strongest card ever, and dont realize that the game lacks simple cards.

I'm just saying that it can be underpowered in some decks. but with eclipse and other spell it can be powerful, especially for mono dark.

Naw, I think he's both perfectly balanced and adorable.  With death duos, you can poison enemy creatures to one HP and get your noms.

Love the idea. The low cost might be a problem with the whole "Rainbows must not have new cards". Do Like the idea that it can't be buffed by anything besides nightfall and eating though. The quinting is a curse when you first play it (no blessing/heavy armor/ chaos power) and a blessing later on (don't have to spend any quanta on quint). All in all, seems like a great addition to a darkness deck. One thing, I just noticed that Darkness has no creature that is only there for damage. They all have special skills. (considering vanilla creature for darkness)

EDIT: Gargoyle just came out, thx Zanz

I like small critters. Just like the Leaf Dragon with the exact same ability as the Rustler. Would be a cute fodder replacement for skellies.
