Deep Glow Creatures - Bioluminescent Pack

Deep Glow Creatures is a URP-ready collection of fully animated bioluminescent deep-sea creatures for Unity, featuring a custom real-time glow shader, multi-variant jellyfish species, and pre-configured prefabs for instant use in scene.

Asset Store Description

Deep Glow Creatures is a bioluminescent deep-sea creature pack built for Unity’s Universal Render Pipeline (URP). Each creature uses a custom Creature/CreatureBody shader to create real-time glow, heartbeat organ pulses, travelling tentacle waves, shimmer stripes, breath-sync animation, hue drift, and caustic UV distortion without requiring HDR bloom.

The pack includes fully animated jellyfish families such as BoxJelly, DeepSea, LionsMane, MoonJelly, and TinyBloom, with multiple color variants for each subtype. Every color variant is organized as a self-contained folder containing animations, materials, models, prefabs, and textures, making the asset easy to browse, customize, and expand.

The shader is designed for transparent, double-sided rendering and uses baked vertex color regions to control different glow behaviors across the creature’s body, belly, fins, organs, tentacles, and stripe bands. This gives you fine control over visual style while keeping the setup simple and production-friendly.

Key Features

• Real-time bioluminescent glow with no HDR bloom required.
