Giluk. Specializes in pursuing prey in-between roots, rocks and other cavities.

Good reminder that the various creatures of this worldbuilding don't belong to any Earth taxon, as the world is not Earth. Despite possible similarities there are no mammals, reptiles, etc.

me holding in the urge to explain how twst has so many parallels to madoka magica like overblots being similar to when a magical girl becomes a witch and malleus and homura basically being the same character archetype and his overblot being so similar what homura does in rebellion-

Is this when i mention a thing I've been doing about how early in the war the troops on both sides mist have been making so many Megop divorce war jokes? Like sure sure the jokes likely became way less frequent as the war became more brutal and mecha were being sparked that had no goddamn idea what their older counterparts were talking about.

But it definitely was a thing for a while, and it was the kinda stuff said in hushed chuckles behind the commanders' backs.

||. finally going to bed thinking about lore - keeper asgardians . thinking about how intelligence and wisdom are one of their favored traits. thinking about how thor is the best of every asgardian ideal . thinking about how he is wise . thinking about his street - smarts . thinking about how he is also knowledgeable in legends , lore , and folktale. he is adaptable . he takes this knowledge , adapts to it , and crafts himself into something stronger. he is ever growing , and one of those ways is how he seeks out knowledge , and knows well to keep a sharp mind on the tales told by word of mouth or written on a page.

...This may or may not end well for everyone involved.

A revenge on @ikrutt for an absolutely lovely drawing of Fithri!

Decided to toss Skitter at Adreas and Morkant. Adreas and Morkant belong to @ikrutt, while Skitter is my own character. :)

.

[Image Description: Adreas, a short fluffy orange bipedal alien with a small muzzle and a long spiny tail, and Morkant, a bulky quadrupedal alien with smooth blue skin and a tusked snout, look out over the edge of a sandstone cliff towards where an atmospheric entry pod has crashed in the desert. Skitter, a very large centipede-like alien with four long arms, lies asleep near the pod, sheltering in the meager shade. End ID.]

Opinion. The dark world is better than love and thunder?

scrap that can you imagine how cool the dark world would have been if Gorr had been there as well ????

Dp x DC Prompt: Space Like An Ocean

An alien had taken up residence outside of the Watchtower. Its first appearance immediately started a panic with most of the heroes that could survive in space converging on the station to see whether it was friend or foe. In the end, it did not seem either.

In fact, it seemed fine with just basking and napping wrapped around parts of the Watchtower that made up the outside. It wasn’t the size of the Watchtower, but off and on it was a very near thing.

Humanoid, yet distinctly inhuman. White whispy hair sat atop its head, pointed ears, and the only feature that could be made out of its face were two bright green glowing eyes. A color that sent Batman into a research frenzy. Its skin was void-dark. Almost looking as if a piece of space itself had separated from the cosmos and took and almost snake-like form. Or maybe an eel?

The most notable thing about the creature were its injuries. Multiple lacerations covered it, leaking a green that never touched the Watchtower and seemed to evaporate not long after leaving its body. Any silent attempts to collect it for study and to figure out what it was were met with emotionless green eyes and a bare hint of fang. They backed off quickly.

Flash liked to call it a mer-eel. “Cause it’s got an almost human torso, two arms, and the rest just kind of curls up!”

Wonder Woman was unimpressed with this. “That would suggest it is more like a naga.”

To which Green Lantern replied, “No, no, he’s right. There’s an almost white fin-like bit that goes down the tail like an eel’s does.”

Any more attempts to identify the creature led to nothing and soon the “eel” became a silent fixture of the Watchtower.

It was ages later when Zatanna entered the Watchtower to discuss a completely non-connected case when she stumbled immediately upon leaving the Zeta Tube and had to lean against a wall, breathing heavily.

“Something feels like Death.” Was all she could get out before her eyes rolled into the back of her head and she dropped to the ground. She wouldn’t wake up, dead asleep. Immediate worry all around lead to Justice League Dark being contacted in full.

Constantine with Deadman in tow were ultimately the ones to solve the mystery. It took but a moment for Deadman to be seen thanks to Constantine’s “magic” and awe was the first thing apparent on his face. Deadman didn’t even need to leave the Watchtower to know what it was.

“Oh,” he whispered like a prayer. “So that’s where he goes when he takes a break.”

Queue questioning.

“He” turned out to be Phantom, the Ghost King who had apparently decided the Watchtower was a perfect basking spot. Confusion was abound at this.

“No, see,” Deadman tried to explain. “He has two Obsessions and the Watchtower feeds into both. Heroes who protect, as he is a protector spirit himself and probably feels a kinship, and space.”

Constantine and Deadman explained as best as they could, but when the questions finally settled, the last was “Why isn’t Constantine affected like Zatanna? Why aren’t the rest of them affected like Zatanna?”

“That’s easy!” Deadman piped. “None of you are attuned to death magic! I’m a ghost, he’s my King. Zatanna is a magician with experience in most magics. And Constantine doesn’t own enough of his soul to feel the death!”

In the end, a request from Deadman was all it took for things to change. With barely a rumble, Phantom pulled himself from the Watchtower and drifted far enough away for his aura to no longer affect Zatanna. The heroes could only watch in awe as the eel-like god returned to the open ocean of space.

Addition:

There were a giant green eyes observing the conference room. Every hero inside was frozen in place, staring back at the eyes and trying their best not to move a muscle. Phantom had moved from atop the station. Phantom had acknowledged them. Phantom was staring at them from a window of the Watchtower.

No one knew why he was there. Just that suddenly he was. The bright green lighting the entire room with its shine was the only warning they got. They stared. He stared.

Slowly, he moved. A hand-shape pointed with a claw. They were confused. The hand made a pointing motion again.

The table?

Ah. Several shards of kryptonite sat on the table. The topic of the discussion as someone had somehow gotten ahold of the shards and used them against Superman. They needed to know who supplied them.

The hand pointed again.

Why did Phantom want the shards?

Apparently, it wasn’t up to them to question as the pointing hand phased into the room, palm up. Waiting. No one moved for a moment until a white narrowed slit formed in Phantom’s eyes.

Green Lantern was quick to grab the shards (Batman made a token protest, those were his damn it) and placed them in the palm. He shivered as his finger brushed the skin, ice cold washing up and down his spine.

The hand closed, retracted and approached the face. The eyes stared as a large mouth opened (fangs, sharp sharp fangs laid in green) and a tongue popped out. The shards were placed on the tongue and the mouth closed with a sharp crunch.

Phantom grinned almost smugly before he drifted away from the window and back to the top of the Watchtower.

“Did- Did Phantom just ask for a snack?”

So many science fiction settings have "spiders" on alien planets, like with multiple eyes and venomous fangs and silk and everything, and I gotta be honest I find that even more jarring than the settings full of coincidental humanoids. Something about spiders and their silk feels SO uniquely Earth to me, and also very modern and new, not at all some fundamental primordial "bug" that might crop up throughout the universe. Spiders are OURS. I do not suspect any other planet has every accidentally produced quite the same thing but if you told me there were billions of convergent pelicans or toads or whales out there I'd just say well yeah, of course, they're not all that complicated or special really, I mean have you seen spiders????

[pushthlildaisies]

what if extra terrestrial beings look like crabs because of convergent evolution
