Creatures as characters

Since there are no humans in Lendas, all the characters are Packlings. This means when the player gets a blacksmith that enables the crafting features, this blacksmith is a packling.

My first idea was to create something similar to a dwarf with a hammer for a head and forge pincers for hands, but then I got the idea of an hermit crab with a forge for a shell. I have been modeling that over the last weeks, made the UV maps and now I am painting it.
