==*Glitchy Costume Challenge*==
===Almost Invisible===
Created by: QuartzFox

(No equipment provided.)
===Computer Crashingly Good===
Created by: napswithmycats
Description and Equipment: Well I have no idea what pieces I used except what's visible, but here's my computer crashingly good costume! I used the Aurora hair color (Winter Wonderland), 2nd bangs and 17th hair base, and the background is Winter Fireworks (December 2016). For the costume, I used the Monster Scalp of Science (Warrior, Fall Festival 2014), Comical Arrow, Finned Oceanic Armor, Sorcerous Snowboard (Mage, Winter Wonderland 2015 - 2016), Cape of Thunder (August 2016), Plague Doctor Mask and the Take This Pauldrons. Finally, my beasts: Skeleton Snail mount, Zombie Cactus pet.
===Final Abomination===
Glitchy Costume Challenge Runner Up (2017)
Created by: riverstone
Description and Equipment: Okay , now I'm done. This is my final abomination. For the hair, use brown hair (base 17) and no bangs. The background is Pyramids (August, 2015). The costume itself is made from the Nutcracker Helm (December, 2016), Headwear Goggles, Clover-steel Armor (Warrior, Spring Fling, 2019) and Eyewear Goggles. To finish off the look, don't forget to add a Floral Cactus mount, and a Skeleton Octopus pet!
===Sea Treasure===
Glitchy Costume Challenge Winner (2017)
Created by: JuanaTango
Description and Equipment: Buried deep amongst the sunken ship (July 2015) stands a treasured avatar. Having sunk during a costume party celebration the avatar is harmlessly armed with a confetti cannon (Healer, Winter Wonderland 2015-2016) . It is accompanied by a shield so overgrown with algae it’s impossible to discern that it’s a dragon tamer shield, useless against the camouflaged mantis shrimp. More’s the pity, since the mantis shrimp makes for a breathtakingly glorious yet dangerous pet, and when fully grown into a mount closely guards the ruins preventing escape. The avatar is adorned in a rather strange assortment of animal costumery including butterfly wings and antennae (April 2014) that mimic the shrimp’s own atop an orange cat hat. Hidden underneath the costume is the reason for the avatar being the sole survivor of the costume party. They were protected by their invisible royal magus robe.
===Selkie Plague Bunny===
Created by: Klaus
Description and Equipment: The Selki Plague Bunny is hunting on its Bee through the dark and evil places of Habitica. Equipment: Rainbow Warrior Armor, Plague Doctor Mask, Selkie Cap (June 2016), Purple Bunny Ears (Healer, Spring Fling 2016), Rancher Lasso.

===Hell===
Created by: Klaus
Description and Equipment: The red potion put me directly into hell.
===Love and Anger===
Created by: Drosera
Description and Equipment: Finally got some inspiration for the red hatching potion challenge! Red is the color of both love and anger, and strange things can happen when you mix the two. Also, the angry Rex eyes peeking out from behind the way-too-happy cactus makes me laugh. Hair color: peppermint. Bangs: 2nd. Hair base: 9th. Flower: 6th. Skin color: sugar (Winter skin). Heartstealer Hood (mystery headwear), Black Widow Armor (special Rogue armor), Spiderbite Dagger (special Rogue weapon), Red Rose (armoire shield), Heartstealer Cape (mystery back).

===Mage verbally casting the Red Potion===
Created by: JuanaTango:balloon::bowtie:
Description and Equipment: Suddenly I found myself surrounded by all the books I had read to graduate with the diploma proving this feat. It seems a magical mixup of understanding occurred by the verbal rendering of the written challenge. By my side was my trusty red owl, both a symbol of wisdom and a way to get mail at Hogwarts. And with that, my friends, I must leave you because there are more books to be read. (No equipment provided.)
===Ocolus's entry===
Created by: Ocolus
Description and Equipment: Looking down at the beverages in front of him, @Ocolus grabbed his favorite beverage, a cherry flavored Red Hatching Potion. He uncorked it and drank it in one go. Looking down and expecting to see himself turning bright red, he instead saw something completely different. His once tawny wolf was now a icy shade of blue. His plain white shirt was beginning to turn a brilliant shade of royal blue. His kitty ear hat, which was normally fuzzy and white, was now baby blue. An icy chill went down his spine. "W-what's going on?!" he yelped, as his surroundings slowly became a gray-blue before he completely blacked out...

===Red Hair Dye===
Created by: JuanaTango:balloon::bowtie:
Description and Equipment: Here's my memory of inspiration. When I was a child I got the idea into my head that I wanted to dye my hair. I went into the kitchen and got the red food dye out of the baking cupboard. What. A. Mess. My dad got off the phone, took one look at me and dumped me into the bathtub. Here's what happened. My dark brunette hair stayed blackish brown. The tub red for weeks. The dog's tongue (kept licking me) red for days. My own skin also stayed patchy red for a few days.The cat's fur where I petted her? Also red. The drips on the floor from the kitchen through the dining and living rooms towards the bathroom? Also there for weeks. And believe me we tried to scrub that away (that was part of my punishment). I remember thinking how unfair that the only thing that wasn't red was my hair. The injustice in the eyes of an 8 year old that she suffered the wrath of a parent when the experiment failed! Anyhow here is my Habitica attempt to portray that memory using only non gem equipment.
Costume: red fox pet represents kitty, red wolf mount represents dog, red shirt represents skin dyed, red plain background represents the house walls/floor/tub/kitchen.

===Seeing Red===
Created by: napswithmycats
Description and Equipment: Here is my Red Potion costume entry. I did do a bit of red coloring, but I mostly did a play on "seeing red" after drinking the potion, so I played off of the emotion anger! I picked the angriest pet and mount I had and based the costume around that, altering choices for color. I chose the thunder dragon pet because sometimes there is lightning and such with volcanoes, so it ties in with the background.

===Third Ninja World War===
Red Hatching Potion Costume Challenge Winner (2017)
Created by: scorpiosha
Description and Equipment: During the third Ninja world war, a potion was developed to give soldiers superhuman strength and infallible stamina.

While training in the mountains, Shinobi Scorpiosha found one of these potions hidden deep within a cave. Without knowing of its power, he drank the entire bottle. As his skin changed his thoughts moved from better his body to conquering the world. Thus his life as a human ceased, and the legend of the Oni King began.
