    This is a map I made in my free time. Here I have constructed a large creature out of rocks and inclines. Green lights were used for the eyes.

    When constructing aesthetic creatures, a forger's best friend is probably the Rock, Sea stack. It can be used for arms, legs, or pretty much anything. Also, when creating teeth, Bank, 1x1s are excellent. As you can see, I have implemented this in the Colossodon, in the mouth as teeth and on the arms as claws.

    When creating the creature, I wanted to make something that resembled an Alligator. I accomplished this by making the beast lie down. This makes it look as if it is struggling to get inside the cave you are in. Thankfully, it cannot accomplish this, as it is made of rock and metal.

    Another technique used here is "fake space". This is where you make an object appear larger than it really is. I did this by only forging half of the body, then blocking off the cave entrance. Anyways, enjoy!

    It's a firing its lazer!
    I have placed a Focus Rifle at the mouth of the beast so one can imitate a classic B-Movie style monster beam. Be careful, though, as the focus rifle is fixed and if you switch it out again you will be trapped.

    Thanks for the criticism, I guess I agree. I will add more to the description.
