"Gasp where am I.

Cthulhu: Why don't you join us

What?

Phobia: October is over we are here to chill

I don't understand

Hatman: Pull up a chair. We saved a plate for you.

As the month of October comes to a close. You feel the monsters power over the world calm down just for a moment. Greeted by the many monsters who once attacked you, you feel unerved as they treat you with respect. You take a step and look for an open seat. Many scents and sounds fill the air. Steak, turkey, fresh baked bread, and you're pretty sure you saw sushi the size of a house. The hovering of Jean jacket, the talk from le spectres, the small his from the alligators, and the splashing of the water fountain made the place come to life.

Cthulhu: Ha chez cthul-hu, my pride and joy after my successful book writing career. Cthulhu asks for you to read his book on the house but the minute you do you wake up from this nightmare turned dream."

Oh my gosh finally done. I wanted this done by October 31st but my ambitions were to high. I doubt yall will see one of these again. Thank you all for sticking through these weeks with me. I will try to upload every Thursday if I can keep up with it. This will not be the last you see of me. (The tags took me forever)

Debunking My Piranha Plants Are Reptiles Hypothesis 1

So I have speculated before that Piranha Plants are not actually plants but reptiles, and I have seen other people hypothesize this as well. But I am going to debunk this hypothesis as mine is similar to how I debunked the 2 King Boos hypothesis.

So the hypothesis goes that Piranha Plants aren't plants but reptiles because they have skeletons like animals as evidenced by the existence of Bone Piranha Plants and they have teeth. Alongside they have tongues, and some like Peewee Piranha and Dino Piranha have scales. Finally there is the fact that several Piranha Plants hatch from eggs such as Peewee Piranha, Dino Piranha, Mom Piranha, and the Piranha Eggs/Pods.

Now, why are they not reptiles. Well similar to how we can't say the Chaos Emeralds are quartz because our emeralds don't look like that, we can't really call Piranha Plants reptiles.

And many sources confirm they are plants. Aside from the name Piranha Plant their relatives the the Lava Lotus, and Nipper Plants all being plants and associated with flowers. Edit: Nipper Plants are young Piranha Plants.

Piranha Plants have also been called flowers in Super Mario Bros.: The Great Mission to Rescue Princess Peach, and you have Petey Piranha having flower petals. Continuing on there is the obvious thorns, vines, and leaves that the Piranha Plants are made of. Some actually have multiple leaves with the movie emphasizing these traits.

There is also the Piranha Plants description from the Super Mario Bros. section of the Encyclopedia which refers to them as "man eating plants."

Finally using the Goombario's tattle on the Lava Piranha Goombario uses terms such as buds, flowers, and plant to refer to the Lava Piranha. With all this information about Piranha Plants, their relatives, and how characters refer to them in canon it is clear they are indeed plants and not reptiles. Part 2 coming soon

Crossover Xenomorph Staff x Ramattra

This is inspired by David's notes in Covenant. Ramattra would take his role in this AU (I will expand on this idea and create a Ramattra design eventually)

[Transcript below]

Handheld Bioweapon: The Staff

Biologically engineered on Planet 4. Entirely made from mutated fauna, native to Planet 4, as results of the released pathogen A0-3959X.91 – 15, as well as remaining technology from the Juggernaut. When operated, this device will shoot pathogen spores at a high velocity. The target will undergo various mutations – depending on their own biology, and speed of the mutations may vary on the amount of exposure to the pathogen. There is no cure for the symptoms. Staff is coated in a special resin to give stability.

Manumala noxhydria "Facehugger" (deceased) Used for decorative purposes.

Mutated bones with a curved shape are used to hold the egg in place. Technological components are hidden within.

Ovomorph imitation. Results are achieved by exposing the eggs of an insect-like creature to the pathogen. Offspring is removed. Egg needs to be replaced, depending on the usage. Will release pathogen spores when accelerated by the "gravity core" which is placed inside of the egg.

Mutated spine and remnants from a reptile, which are used as a base for the staff.

gamers help me world build. the general genres are horror, speculative biology & shouldn't have gone there.

the generalized idea is a fantasy world that's not rlly all that different from ours, but magic and different creatures are an accepted and mundane part of life. the cast is a pentuplet of 3 researches / 1 adventurer / 1 body guard that are tasked with exploring a newly opened passage in the belly of a cave that seems to have tapped into a wholly new network with some very pronounced... oddities.

this network has been sealed off for milennia and has fostered an ecosystem entirely unique to itself. I'm rlly going for deep sea evolution vibes; half the critters are blind and go by hearing, vibrations or scent, the rest use some manner of bioluminescence to communicate in the dark. some fat lazy reptiles that stick to the walls and barely move or react, some semi aquatic, at least one carnivore w plenty of detritivores...

the plants have evolved over time their own brand of bioluminescence to attract the lower rungs of the food chain to themselves and so when they first arrive it's like breathtakingly beautiful and alien. just really bizarre and pretty and they're setting up camp right at the mouth of this juncture so they can make trips in without setting up entirely within the network.

the horror elements coming in with a specific type of fungus that strikes up like a cyan match underfoot and lets out clouds of glowing spores. they don't think too much of it but over the weeks to come they're going to be changed by it in really grotesque ways, I think. (and perhaps see this happen at a much faster scale to small critters with morbid realization).

glowing veins and bones and rotting, eventual blindness as the fungus grows over the wet surface of your eyes, yeah, but maybe it has almost rabies like effects where they become extremely photosensitive and claustrophilic, finding further, more narrow passages to cram into to better spread the fungus.

I've considered a lot of other horror angles to go with it too, like beginning to hallucinate pretty potently and becoming aggressively distrusting of their companions. maybe the body guard even kills one of the party and they scatter after that. a final girl moment where one of the researches has managed to stay safe but in her final escape attempt she hits a patch and realizes if she goes aboveground she'll only be spreading this beyond the passage, & so with the last vestiges of her autonomy she tries to seal it back in...

the types of plants, fruit, flowers, critters, etc... those are what I really want to dig into tho. the stuff they'd be researching and learning about. I haven't had a whole lot of ideas on what to use yet but anyone who does have thoughts send it to my inbox. 👀

restrictions are primarily nothing too big, and nothing that burrows. I think burrowers would have been discovered significantly sooner? so let's stay contained to preexisting tunnels. definitely got plenty of groundwater, springs trickling down the walls and pooling in flooded passageways etc. otherwise I don't have a lot of ideas yet!

also open to discussing the party. I think the final girl will be a magical researcher who's that clumsy kind of determined. the adventurer being any kind of smaller race (do I even want to use traditional fantasy races? idk!) and the body guard being the largest amongst them and by far the physically strongest.

thematically the horrors of spelunking at all, hypothermia being a constantly offset issue leading to paradoxical undressing as the fungus overrides basic control, stripping the last of your dignity and humanity, how prolonged darkness convinces you you can see (even after, say, fungal nodes have overtaken your eyes), no shortage of auditory hallucinations bc the white noise of trickling water is all you'd ever hear, the body guard becoming a very great threat after killing the adventurer, having become extremely hostile in response to the fungus.. u get the picture.

Psst... Ya like trees?

Happy Carboniferous Week!

If the Earth's history were compressed into a single year, December 3rd - 7th marks the Carboniferous period (358.9-298.9 Mya).

This period is commonly broken up further in North America into the Mississippian and Pennsylvanian sub-periods (Tues.-Thurs. and Thurs.-Sat., respectively).

Because of the establishment of land plants in the Silurian and Devonian, the carbon cycle as we know it today was able to develop and really take off during this period, which resulted in an atmosphere which, for the first time, had modern oxygen concentrations. In fact, oxygen levels exceeded modern levels at times, and has been speculated in the past to be responsible for the large size of insects of the period. (Recent evidence suggests that more was behind their giant sizes than available oxygen, however).

How big of insects? How about dragonflies whose body is longer than your face, or millipedes over 6.5 feet long!? I am of course referring to Arthropleura and Meganeura

These big bugs wandered the earth at the same time as the first true tetrapods including the ancestors of birds and reptiles (the sauropsids) and the ancestors of modern mammals ( the synapsids). These early ancestors weren't all that recognizable to what we know today, and could take some unique forms. Like the synapsid Edaphosaurus:

The trees preserved from this time were also quite unlike many that grow today; they reproduced via spores, and some had extensive rhizomal root networks or bizarre tufted arrangements of needle-like leaves. Their only surviving descendants consist of species we'd describe as ground cover, such as horsetails and club mosses.

The name Carboniferous actually comes from a notable byproduct of the carbon cycle at the time: Coal. The grand majority of the Earth's coal deposits formed during this time in various swamps and marshy environments. Because of quick burial, and lack of anything that knew how to eat lignin, a lot of trees didn't rot and the carbon that trees took up were sequestered in the earth, rather than being released into the atmosphere. After heating and compression, this formed the black rock which fueled the industrial revolution. It is quite literally a fossil of this bygone age.

So to celebrate this week, hug a tree, marvel at horsetails, say hi to a dragonfly, and maybe look into how you can become involved in green initiatives near you.

Races residing in an underground world, all under thr tyrany of Gomnolho.

Insectoids remain in a valley Shummur. Vibrant place with strange plants and soil. They hail from some other world and change color and texture of their carapace.

Reptilic molemen are an intelligent species that evolved on this Earth long ago. It is difficult to say wether their ancestors were reptiles or mammals or something else entirely.

Tubular spawn are a mystery to all. They dwell in moist darkness, reproducing via spores.

Speculative bio vampire time: in which I try to make a convincingly functional vampire species with a little fuck you it's magic, just to maintain the spirit.

Here's the changelog:

Things from common folklore I will be keeping:

Hematophagous (eat blood)

Nocturnal

Immortal, NOT invulnerable

Turn into bats

Reproduce by biting

Silver sensitivity

Things I'll be mildly changing/are uncommon traits in folklore:

No solar disintegration, just sensitivity

Garlic allergy not disitegration

Do not need to be invited in but often polite and will ask

Don't rely solely on humans as prey (just an inefficient survival strategy for such large animals), but they only feed on endothermic animals (mammals, birds, certain reptiles, and fish)

Low body temperature

Live in small groups (we'll call them clans)

Able to consume non-blood foods but won't gain any nutrition from them

Retractable fangs

Venom

Swift healing/heightened durability

Things I'm adding/straight-up removing:

Eusociality, think bees, ants, termites

Not undead

Have reflections

Most superpowers, they will have heightened senses, but that's about it. (Better hearing, vision, smell)

More details below the cut

These speculative vampires originated from a fungus related to cordyseps that evolved to use human hosts for reproduction. Unlike in other species, this parsitism is mildly mutualistic, extending the lifespan of human hosts, allowing them to transform into bats and heightening their senses. However, there are drawbacks, such as an increased sensitivity to sunlight, silver, and a reliance on blood meals.

There are four classes of vampires in a clan

Royals who carry reproductive spores that can turn other humans into vampires as well as having mild control over subordinates in the clan (think of it as being really convincing).

Hunters who carry venom, which numbs prey and causes brain fog in humans. They are responsible for gathering food for the clan, having blood repositories that can store excess to be transported back to other clan members.

Elates who are royal vampires that have not started a clan of their own yet. While they have reproductive spores, they do not have control over their "siblings" as their "parent" royals do. They can only become royals after dispersing to form another clan.

Thralls who are "infant" vampires who have yet to develop into a caste type. Most thralls become hunters unless there are too many members in the clan, then they will develop into elates and set off to find their own territory.

Vampires are slow to reproduce and territorial due to their method of reproduction and feeding habits. Elate vampires are often kicked from the clan once they develop. A human can only be turned into a vampire if bitten by a royal or an elate, and only if that individual decides to spread their spores, elates are more likely to do so as they won't survive long without a clan.

Bites appear like bat bites, and their venom is both nonleathal and breaks down in blood fast. These are adaptations gained with the purpose of avoiding detection from humans, specifically as things that prey on humans don't usually have a good time of it.

They often do not eat their fill from one object of prey and instead feed off of many different animals during one hunting session. As for hunting methods, vampires tend to hunt in bat form near sunset and return to their clan around midnight. Hunter vampires will often spread out over their territory in different directions.

Let's talk methods of defense. Vampires, as previously started, are long-lived, they won't die of old age, and their low body temperatures make for horrid hosts for most viruses and bacteria that affect humans. A human looking to kill a vampire could go about it in a few ways:

Anaphylaxis, via garlic or silver.

Starvation/dehydration, depriving them of blood for up to 7 days depending on when their last meal was.

Sun exposure, which will make them weaker and more vulnerable to attack.

Detoxification, in which one attempts to return a vampire to a human by killing off the cordyseps. This has a low success rate as often, fully developed vampire bodies will be codependent with the fungus. Thrall vampires may be more likely to find success, but clans tend to guard thralls quite fiercely.

Those are all the ideas I have at the moment, but I love thinking about speculative biology. My favorite pastime is making up creatures and putting them in environments.

[freakattack]

Something I really like about old mario media is that they really hype up the grossness of both the reptile antagonists (predictable) and the fungus allies (revolutionary). With the koopas it's predictable, both because they are villains and also because people are often rude to reptiles, but it is nonetheless very fun when they draw attention to their scaly skin or polyphyodont teeth or the fact that they can apparently brumate. With the fungus it's exceptionally delightful because it's not often you're treated to a disgusting protagonist. And yet, we had toads everywhere saying that they "barely escaped with their mold intact", and drinking shit like "slime malteds" and "Fungus-Up". I feel like the concept of mushrooms in Mario have been around so long as a game mechanic that we have lost sight of what a mushroom truly is, but I think it's a missed opportunity not to explore (ex-spore?) the true sliminess of this world

There are just some species out there that seem to have been put on this planet for the main reason of making it more wondrous. Like they are the extra touches from a painter to really make the scene bloom and come to life. Obviously, yes, they actually do play a role in the ecosystem and food web, but I am talking more on whimsy here! Creatures and plants that you just look at and feel like you are witnessing a piece of living art. When you see great flocks of colorful birds take to the skies, or rivers packed with migrating fish as they leap and dance! I can certainly look at all these things and explain their purpose and what they are actually doing, but it does always force me to take a second and really drink in the sight. It always makes me happy when I experience things like this, because some days I feel like I have seen it all, or that I have grown numb to the wonders of nature. When I witness such incredible things, I am reminded that there is still so much to see. And perhaps I am not immune to the beauty and charm, no matter how many times I feel it. In fact, I think I grow more and more susceptible to it, as I always find new ways to fall in love with nature. This entry is on one of those species that really gave me one of those moments. When I stepped into the bustling streets of a local festival, enjoying all the lights, decorations and excited people. Seeing the parades and costumes go by, and then looking up from it all to see several Nectengshe floating through the sky, the stars of this wondrous festival. I would say words can't explain it, but I feel that I could given enough time and ink! What I should say is Eucella won't let me use the incredible amount of words I would need to explain it, so we will just say it was a breathtaking sight. I will always hold this species in a special place in my heart, from that first sight and the extraordinary festivities I got to partake in! 

The Nectengshe are often jokingly referred to as "tourist dragons" by the locals, but not meaning that this species is not from around here. What they mean is that outsiders and visitors who aren't familiar with this species will show up, look to the sky and scream "LOOK! DRAGONS!" or "BY THE GODS! DRAGONS!," to which all the locals laugh. Indeed, they find it funny because the Nectengshe are not dragons, not in the slightest. They aren't reptiles, in fact they don't even have bones! They are actually a colonial organism, similar to the Ikuchi, that grows and sticks together to create a serpentine shape. The whole "creature" is just a massive collection of specialized, sacs, tendrils and polyps that work together to act as a single being. By producing a special gas in combination to their incredibly light weight, they can easily float through the air, building and releasing this gas to let them rise and fall as needed. Though this brings to mind the idea of flight, they don't actually do any real flying or soaring. Rather, they prefer to let the wind take them, only using minor movements of their own to keep them upright and in one piece. When you see them live and in the wild, they make you think more of a decoration than a creature, like someone's puppet blew away and is now hanging above your head forever. I will admit, the dangling tentacles do bring to mind streamers, and that many decorations during the festival looked almost exactly like this species. 

For what they do, the answer is: not much. They just float through the air and live as long as fate lets them. For food, they use their tangling tentacles to pick up small bits from the air, like pollen, spores, tiny aerial creatures and such. They are adhesive and also have painful stingers for larger prey that gets tangled up. They sometimes eat the clumsy birds and bats that run into them, never picky as long as it doesn't break free from their grip. When a tendril has a hold of a good chunk of food, it retracts upward into the colony body and deposits it. The food will be digested and distributed, while the limb drops back down for more. It gets all it needs from the air around, be it prey or water. Their very slow and carefree looking lifestyle means they don't need a whole lot to get by, so a few days of slim pickings is no big deal for them. Also, the stinging tendrils they have help protect them from aerial predators, that is if something actually decides to attack them. As you can see, the Nectengshe bears a very strong resemblance to the dragons that can be found in this part of the world. Obviously, very few things really tangle with such powerful beasts, and it seems these colonies are trying to get in on that intimidation. Often a single glimpse of a dragon soaring through the sky is enough to make most creatures turn and run, so if the Nectengshe looks enough like it, many predators won't stick around for closer inspection. It is a pretty good trick, and one that has some unforeseen benefits! 

Since this species doesn't actually do a whole lot, just float and eat whatever runs into them, it makes sense that people that live around them don't mind them. The worst a Nectengshe can do is accidentally get blown onto their roofs or get tangled in some flags. If one dies and drops upon their heads, it is a problem, but more so for clean up and whatever stings you may get. However, it isn't that people don't pay attention to them, as folks actually do love this species a whole lot! It should be obvious with the festival I was at, which was celebrating the annual bloom of Nectengshe, when this species is most prevalent in their skies! The species is looked upon fondly, as others find them quite beautiful and serene to watch! The other thing to point out is that in this part of the world, most folk actually like and even revere dragons! They see them more as symbols of wisdom, strength and ascension rather than as giant destructive monsters. Yes, they do have their fair share of dragons that do cause death and damage, but it doesn't seem to dampen their overall views. And since the Nectengshe bear a resemblance to these beloved serpents, the species gets to enjoy some of that appreciation too! Like I said, a pretty neat trick! Just float around and do nothing, and still have crowds of adoring fans! Kind of makes me envious some days!
