Cractus (Wario Land 4)
I do prefer Cractus' Wario Land 4 design. However, I drew them in their WarioWare: Move It! design to commemorate Cractus making their grand reappearance.

Maiamai (TLoZ: A Link Between Worlds)
A Link Between Worlds was the first Zelda game I've ever played, and Maiamais were a really fun additional collectible. They're just so cute, and they just want to go back to their momma.
An alternate perspective could be that the baby Maiamais left their Mother on purpose to explore the lands of Hyrule/Lorule, only to end up getting lost and then start crying out.

Surprise Alien Board (Kirby & the Forgotten Land)
Not an creature, but a stage hazard. Still, it has its own figurine and official name, and it just looks nice.
I chose to draw the red one because I feel it stands out the most compared to the other two colours (that might also be why the red one was chosen as the in-game figurine).

Crammed Wraith (Hey! Pikmin)
One of these Wraiths is not the others... probably because this pudgy guy spends their whole life crammed in their one shell (it is a decent looking shell, I'll give them that).

Blubbug (Hey! Pikmin)
If Blubbugs were friendlier, I could imagine Pikmin treating Blubbugs like a li'l bouncy castle.

Big Birdee (Kirby Mass Attack)
Given the farmer's overalls she wears, I wonder if Big Birdee grows her own food, then brings them to her children, rather than just scavenging them from the forest.

Don't grab that pretty flower, Kirby!

Glutbulb (Kirby Mass Attack)
Glutbulbs only appear in Dedede Resort. My headcanon is that Dedede had some imported to his resort because of their rarity.

Red Gigas/Recumen (Skies of Arcadia)
I have not yet played Skies of Arcadia, but seeing such bizarre-looking giants like this Red Gigas calls to me.
Dreamcast games are such a wild ride.

Starnacle (Hey! Pikmin)
What is a Starnacle even supposed to be? I have no clue. It's like no other enemy I've ever seen in a video game, and for that, I love this cyclops creature and their translucent tentacles.

Red Mountain prisoner (Sonic Adventure)
This is my favourite kind of video game creature. Real oddball designs that are just in the background with no explanation as to what they even are.

Plungelo (Super Mario Sunshine)
I wish we got to see Plungelos more than just one mission. That way, we could confirm whether they're native to Isle Delfino or if they're another of Bowser Jr.'s creations.

Flibbee (M&L: Dream Team)
These bees take the phrase "turn that frown upside down" a little too seriously...

Noko Bombette (Super Mario Land 2)
Poor guys. They didn't choose this life. It's not their fault that they were born with such an explosive disposition.

Squiggler (New Super Mario Bros.)
Unfortunately, I just did not have the colour pencils necessary to have them in their original, cream-white colours.
Oh well, that won't stop me from drawing the li'l Squigglers squiggling around all the different pipes.

Hotaru (Wario Land 4)
Since Hotaru always appears whenever Wario is turned into a zombie, and instantly disappears when he turns back to normal, I wonder if Hotaru is attracted to zombies the same way bugs are attracted to light.
Also, it would've been perfect if Hotaru (or any sort of fly) appeared with Cractus in WarioWare: Move It!

Snake (Yoshi's Story)
Fun fact: carnival music plays whenever you ride a Snake, which, considering their design, couldn't be more perfect.
