Fish-Egg Eater

This amphibian is small, and could easily fit in the palm of your hand. It's main diet consists of fish eggs, hence the name. The fish in this world are highly poisonous when mature, although their eggs only contain minute levels. The fish-egg eater can absorb the toxins in the eggs it eats and then secrete it through it's skin as a contact poison, making touching them highly dangerous. The natives revere them as sacred creatures.

These are a series of creature designs for an alien world concept I did for Concept Design class. The fish-egg eater started as just a cute fuzzy creature head...and I wanted to show how small it was so I gave it a fish egg. That turned it into the fish-egg eater and following suit I made it more aquatic with amphibian features, mainly pulling inspiration from the blue poison dart frog for the colors and dark spots.
