Burning Monkey Tree Sketch

So I didn’t just draw some weird alien monkeys for the hell of it, I also thought of a little story to go along with them:

These are the Moobaloops, they live in the Zerboid Crystal valley.  Their planet, Melba, is a Silicate & Carbon planet.  Some creatures that live there are like those we find on Earth, others are crystalline life-forms that grow only a few inches every year and live off of plasma energy, while still others are hybrid lifeforms.  Vast lakes of plasma litter the planet, and hybrid creatures like these Moobaloops and their Finque tree, live off of the plasma.  The Finque tree glows with plasma embers instead of leaves, it needs no sun because it soaks up it’s energy from the Plasma lakes, while the Moobaloops feast on the Finque gourds which are bursting with juicy plasma energy.  A mere three fruits grow every year on the Finque tree, always exactly three, and yet one of these fruits can provide enough energy for a creature like the Moobaloop to survive an entire year.
