Pitch your MOB Skin Contest or Event Ideas!

Hello Planet of Minecrafters.
With the release of Minecraft Mob Skins on PMC, we have the opportunity to host skinning contests & events for a wide variety of models not just the player model anymore. This thread will be a place to share & discuss ideas for potential mob skin contests. We're open to all suggestions.
PMCSkin3D supports over 60 mob models! While ideally we'll have themes that can accept all models, we COULD have ideas that limit the models depending on what's appropriate for the contest/theme. The models vary in topic and complexity from a simple Fishing Bobber to the Ender Dragon. Since contests typically compare quality & creativity of participants, some mob contest ideas might benefit from limiting the accepted models.
- Please post ONE idea per reply.
Feel free to post multiple but for the sake of discussion and emeralds going towards a specific idea, one idea per post will clarify what were talking about. - Your ideas will be credited to you in the poll options as well as if it becomes an actual contest/event.
- Don't be afraid to pitch your idea. We don't really know what will make a good mob skin contest / event and want a wide variety of options.
EXAMPLE #1:
Title: Farm Animals
Description:
Old MacSteve had a villager farm and on his farm he had a pig. With pixels placed here and pixels placed there. It can be fun to diverge from the usual song, dance and farm animals. Let's create custom livestock and breath new life into our farms in Minecraft.
Type: Event ( max 5 entries)
Models: Pig, Cow, Sheep, Chicken & Horse
EXAMPLE #2:
Title: Steampunk Park
Description:
Choose any mob and create a steam punk rendition of it. Imagine the mob is a machine powered by steam with clockwork greased with beard oil.

Template information & options
TITLE
This is a the best title you can currently come up with for summarizing your theme into something that is easy to understand. A good title should represent the theme in as few words as possible while also being entertaining / attracting attention.
DESCRIPTION
The description should elaborate on the contest title by clarifying what the contest/event is about. Good descriptions are fun to read, keep your readers attention and most importantly explains the theme in a way that is easy to understand.
TYPE OPTIONS
Contest = Competition that accepts one entry, requires a judging team / phase, produces a final leader board and includes pixel art trophies & prize(s).
Event = Non-competitive event that accepts multiple entries, isn't judged, produces a collection of themed skins and includes a pixel art award for participating.
MODEL OPTIONS
All = This means all models are accepted in the contest. Participants are free to choose any model, except player models (Steve/Alex), to skin for the contest theme. Part of the challenge is choosing a model that will allow you to show off your artistic ability while representing the contest theme.
Limited : Model #1, Model #2, ...
This means the contest is limited to the listed model(s). Participants must choose from the acceptable models and the contest/event itself would prevent other models types from being entered. The contest theme for one reason or another is better represented by a particular set of models.
You don't need to use the template but it can be helpful to have a few simple prompts.

Title: Make-A-Monster
Description: Minecraft isn't scary enough yet. Make a mob skin that replaces an existing mob (or stack of mobs) with one of your own design, and then bring it to life with a datapack! Use a provided behavior template or make your own. Remember that you can use custom item models in hands or on armor stands to make custom parts or weapons for your mob to hold and don't forget to add a loot table for your mob to use.
I can create templates or tools that allow you to set your monster's attributes (speed, health, armor, knockback taken, damage, held items, aggro range, etc.), use potion effects like jump boost to modify its behavior, make it shoot things like fireballs, spell bolts, guardian lasers, wither skulls, potions, arrows, and even angry chickens; make it do certain things like jump over pits or take damage in water, and have custom effects like particle clouds and custom particles and a script to run on death which can make it burst in a cloud of smoke, blow up and light the surrounding area on fire, summon lightning from the sky, or more.
Will you make a fireball-hurling fire cultist? A great flying beast? A giant tumbleweed that crushes anything in its path? The choice is yours.
Type: Event
Models: All, but making an aggressive AI for certain mobs is a bit harder than others.

This is cool, it may be a little too complicated for what they're looking for, if it doesn't get picked you should run your own contest for it. It's such a great idea!
