Hi @ all!
What do you think about this Monsterfish? Video

It is a beginning, but still a lot to improve!

It is already too brutal and horrible for a child's game, and it is too calm and comfortable for other games.

The monsterlike elements are restricted to mouth and eyes and skin colour, the bodyshape and the movements are that of a slowly 'pedestrian' of a 'fish town'.

It has to show its energy and its unbeatable will to bite and rip out your flesh and life out of your body.
Let it tear his head from left to right when it attacks, let the tail, flipper, fin move faster, more sudden. Add something, which is moving nervous and sudden while in idle state.

He looks a bit like a bull terrier which is a plus. Changing the animations could reach already the value of what one would expect from a dangerous beast!

I think, it is more a screen "protector" than a "screen saver". Very cool sound, effects, music... I like it.

Ok,I made this monster for a friend and applied it quickly into my Fish-Demo to check the Outfit.He should be able to change the animation to his own wishes.
At least:I downloaded the model from Turbo Squid.The model had far from 100000 Vertices,no textur and no animation.My model has 1300 vertices,I made the textur by myself and animated it.

I like it! What's wrong with scary monsters? think Harry Potter movies with its talking spiders..

Its nothing wrong with scary monsters, it depends on what you like to achieve!
All I said is... [ WTF! Try to read the posts you refer to properly! ]

I like the look but you need to add more fishes and vegetation to make it eye more plausible. But first you need to give the fish more animations to add to that realistic look as well
But I'm confident that you'll succeed in those features

Cheers

I just imagined your screensaver having a "release monsterfish" button which spawns one of that fish and then an AI fishhunt begins with the other fish swimming around in terror. Maybe some additional sounds of people screaming and running and that's it...

Enjoy your meal
