Scrawlies

Derived from the words 'scrawl' and 'crawlies', Scrawlies is a concept franchise set in a post-nuclear apocalypse world.
Rich in lore, Scrawlies imagines a future where synthetic pollutants have seeped into the DNA of organic lifeforms and irreversibly altered the course of evolution as we know it. Resulting in an eclectic cast of characters, each more peculiar and eccentric than the last.

Follow the Scrawlies as they journey through a petrochemical wasteland in search of a new beginning. Rumour has it, hidden within each of the radioactive fruits lies the key to unlocking their true homeland.
