#it's like carcinization

[field-cryptobotanist]

cowboyzation is a form of convergent evolution like carcinization where every life form in the universe through evolution turns into a cowboy

[ketrinadrawsalot]

Decapocember Day 4: The infraorder Anomura is full of decapods called crabs that aren't actually crabs (brachyurans are true crabs). Carcinization led to many of them becoming crab-shaped. One feature common in anomurans is that two of their appendages are significantly smaller than the others, making them look like they have eight limbs.

Forget crime rates, I want to know the Watsonian explanation for what it is about Gotham that keeps turning a bunch of mostly unrelated people into this one specific kind of supervillain.

Carcinisation of crown

tp-s!-era gijinka refs because i've been dying to do them for once. multiple versions too!

more details!! if you're not interested TOO BAD

- 5'1, average (if a bit short) height for his kind

- 20-21 years old by the time tp-s! takes place.

- i've said it multiple times, but i'll make it clear: the deranged result of splicing crab/craw worm genetics with that of a human's! resulting in these freaks <3

- although for whatever reason, he's not a mammal, or exactly one if we're being generous

- despite his strange looks, this is STILL that one yappity goofy dancing imbecile, except he has more limbs and swirly locks

- wears (apparently two pairs of) gloves for the specific purpose(s) of sparing people from the sight of bug hands™ (and protection from hazardous materials). imagine putting your hand in a bug's if it were human-sized. that's what it'd feel like.

- nothing's ever stopped science from making that new tail WORK. it's like a (freakishly long) third arm, and thankfully capable of bearing enough of anything despite its appearance. also prone to wagging like crazy

- ever since he's caught jack's eye, he wanted to impress him in more ways than one. unfortunately he manages to fall flat on his face in more ways than one as well. what little he and his employer have in common, absurd clothes are among them.

- to mirror his non-breathing gimmick in the game itself, he's got absurd lung capacity (also helps that he doesn't have a nose..) and o2 usage is delayed by about 5 seconds more

- plantigrade when he's got his boots on, digitigrade when they're off

- you know that trope where a character's hair is somehow compacted into a simpler shape? that's what's taking effect here

under the cut (at your own risk) vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv

(side-note: i really wanted to put in the drop-shaped appendages of a mantis shrimp around his lower back, but i think it'd kinda clutter the whole thing up ekejjaiak)

>> another thing i wanted to put in here but - again - didn't want my phone blowing up over was blood stuff. i figured it'd be like. a light teal/cyanish with amber specks. maybe it got a bit warmer/greener around the more "human-y" parts of his body and remained cool in the crabby spots.

I am still busy, but like, with today's news of the plot starting and all, I was on Neo all day, and adopted two pets today.

Meet Sindi I,

Carcinisation

you see "Carcinisation" and think,

I see "Carcinisation" and think,

...we are not the same.

[gelastocoridae]

Starting a new tag called Skolecization from the Greek word skolex for "worm", for any animals that have convergently evolved worm traits. Nature's tendency to create worm.

Hate it when I’m writing and my metaphors start mixing like no we are not all friends here we are not even acquaintances. Stop socializing and get your ass back in line

The Alien Plateau: Rustwalker Crab.

The Rustwalker crab is a species of small, amphibious, crab-like animals in the pseudocrab classification of lifeforms on the planet Kinich Ahau. They are generalists who will eat literally anything they can eat, which ranges from fruits to marine snow. They are highly adaptable, living in eras from jungles to geothermal vents, and they live on all 4 continents. They are prime prey items for the Mictlani.

A hare is a kind of kangaroo, which is itself a kind of deer, which is itself a kind of squirrel, which is itself a kind of mouse, I think.
