What it does for your game

  • No more stalled creature roster: Six full evolution lines come with front, back, follower and icon sprites, so you stop designing monsters one by one before you can test a single battle.
  • Picture your first battle: Your Emberkit, seen from behind, faces a wild Puddlefin, then evolves into Blazefang on the same ground line and follows you across the overworld.
  • 18 creatures, type chart included: 247 sprites in all, with 64x64 battle fronts and backs, 32x32 followers in 4 directions and menu icons, plus creatures.json with every evolution and the type chart as numbers.

18 original pixel art creatures for monster-taming games: 6 evolution lines of 3 stages in 6 types (fire, water, plant, electric, earth, dark), 247 sprites in all. For creature collectors, monster tamers, turn-based RPGs and pet games.

Licence in one line: use it in your commercial games; do not resell the files. No credit required.

Every creature has

  • A 64x64 battle sprite facing the player and one seen from behind, each with a 2-frame idle.
  • A 32x32 overworld follower in 4 directions with 2 walk frames each.
  • A 32x32 menu icon on a disc in its type's colour.

The 18 creatures

Emberkit -> Blazefang -> Infernox (fire); Puddlefin -> Tidesnout -> Abyssurge (water); Sproutle -> Thornbloom -> Grovelord (plant); Sparkmite -> Voltbeetle -> Stormscarab (electric); Pebbit -> Craghorn -> Montusk (earth); Gloomwisp -> Shadebat -> Nyxwing (dark).

Each stage grows and gains features (bigger crests, wings, fins, shells, horns), and all stages stand on the same ground line, so an evolution can swap the sprite in place.

Types and data

  • 6 type icons at 16x16 and 32x32 and a type chart picture (rows attack, columns defend).
  • creatures.json: name, type, stage, evolves from, evolves into and file names for every creature, plus the type chart as numbers.

Made to drop in

  • Exact cells: 64x64 battle sprites, 32x32 followers and icons, at 1x, 2x and 3x, each as its own PNG and on sprite sheets with JSON maps.
  • The battle screen in the screenshots uses a simple HP plate and text box drawn for the picture only (not included); everything else shown is in the pack.

What it does not include

No attack animations or effects, no UI, no tiles or backgrounds, no sound. The art is drawn at 1x; the 2x and 3x files are scaled copies.
