This package is an expansion to Kenney's Tiny Dungeon:

https://opengameart.org/content/tiny-dungeon

This set adds lots of classic monsters and animals in Kenney's Tiny style. It is compatible with Kenney's Tiny Dungeon and Tiny Town sets. 

The creatures are done in 16x16 pixel sprites with thick outlines. Perfect for games where you need a lot of creatures and don't need a lot of animations. Check out the screenshots for example game genres that would be a great fit!

Features:

  • 180 sprites total
  • Over 100 monsters!
  • Over 50 animals!
  • Also includes Tiled sample map

@MedicineStorm yes! let's go!

haha lower-case gnoll is a hyena and the dragonkin jr is a kobold, I'll count those as correct

"bushnt" is VERY correct, bonus points, I was calling this "shrubnt" when making it

Excellent job picking out the goblin vs orc vs troll vs hobgoblin vs bugbear, all correct. Also picking out that is a will-o-wisp is great, that one seems hard without context.

The fish are large mouth bass, rainbow trout, salmon (or generic silvery fish), catfish, and generic panfish, though probably several kinds of fish will match

The one you labeled hornet is a giant mosquito, but close

I think the rest is 100% spot on, basically perfect except for the specific species of fish.

!!BONUS POINTS!!

(edit) lol I bumped your 1 point for your reply up to 10 points, using my OGA admin powers for awesome

Yuss! I love them all! The bugbear had me stumped for a bit. I was thinking "oh, what's that monster that looks like Huge Jackman!"

Hahah! I hadn't even considered the talkative point system as a venue for awarding fictional internet points. Wonderful. Thank you.

This is a testament to your art skills that such a diverse set of creatures are so clearly identifiable at 16x16 12x12 pixels. Excellent work, Clint.

Some notes I couldn't fit anywhere else:

Because of the 2px thick outline the art itself is essentially limited to 12x14 total (or 12x12 for creatures not touching the ground). This is wildly limiting, I have huge respect now for those projects that work in 8x8!

These may be reworkable to match other 16x16 art styles because there's room to remove the double outline and still add more detail.

Most of these would also work in a side-view game. Some of the smaller creatures would have to be moved down a few pixels to sit at the bottom of their frame, as currently they're centered to accomodate the 3/4ths top down view.

@Ragnar haha thanks, just something fun for people paying attention. It's also showing this art set would be great for games that want to absolutely fill the screen with enemies e.g. games like Vampire Survivors or Gauntlet.
