Howdy.  I like the concept of the art, but the first two are too big, I
think.  The worm/snake looks like a sea monster, and the four-legged
animal is really confusing.

I realize part of the idea is that the creatures all have the same head
(%0), but, to my mind, it looks better like this:

                             )       %o   /             _        
               `/Oo      _0_/        <b--+    \  %O    � \     
           .oOO)        / M           M /      \dB--+__�_/__     
   .oOV    /\ /\       (  >>         J`L        `L\_   __|__     

Well, maybe not.  Now the second creature looks like a horse.  Hmm.

                     
    `Oo  
 .oOO)   
 /\ /\  


 .oOo`o' 
 |\  |\  

                            )       %o   /             _        
                        _0_/        <b--+    \  %O    � \       
             .oOo`o'   / M           M /      \dB--+__�_/__     
   .oOV     |\  |\    (  >>         J`L        `L\_   __|__     


maybe?  I'm trying to go for the "lower mammal" look.

Ehh.  It was worth a shot.
