Any headcanon's on Cara Liss, the Menace that Must Be Stopped
Not actually a researcher, she dropped out of grad school
Has been arrested a few times, mostly for questionable ethics and impersonating a researcher
She unironically thinks her combos are how the Pokemon used to be and won't listen to anyone who says otherwise
To her credit, she does treat her weird fossil Pokemon with compassion once they're made
Owns seven pairs of Crocs

Name's Cara Liss. I'm a fossil researcher. You got any fossil Pokémon to show me? Or any questions for my brilliant mind?
Oh and just in case you were wondering, huh. The feds can't find me and neither can you.
((this blog runs with the assumption that the Galarian fossil Pokémon have a decent quality of life, although they do need more support and are basically disabled by default. if you come into Cara's inbox claiming that they're constantly suffering horribly she'll make fun of you. please remember that in the games and shit they're healthy enough to be able to battle. and if they didn't have a baseline quality of life the most ethical thing to do would be to put them down and that's not fun to play with.))

There is a severe dearth of “Colress reacts to the Galar fossils” content, so as usual I must take matters into my own hands.

are there any prehistoric pokemon at the sanctuary? if not, then have you ever taken care of any? i hear they have difficult needs due to the whole being brought back to life thing.
Yep, most of the time we have prehistoric Pokemon that are resurrected and happen to have bad IVs.
It's more common than you think, sadly.
Tumblr media
We had many fossil Pokemon from Lileep to Aerodactyl and, for the most part, they don't have problems adapting. Maybe a few minor health problems since their bodies aren't the best for the new life conditions/climate/oxygen levels but those are never so bad that it lowers their quality of life.
But that is not the case for the fossil Pokemon Cara Liss creates.
The Pokemon Cara Liss creates by mixing two different fossils are...well, I don't want to call the poor Pokemon abonomations, but, they kinda are.
Tumblr media
Upside down heads, mismatched body ratio that exposes the fragile organs too much, and, hell, a head on the tip of the tail.
I'm not a professor, and I'm not educated in this field but these Pokemon always have a very low quality of life. They suffer throughout their lives but they are healthy just enough that they won't get put down.
It's....sad to witness.
These Pokemon are especially friendly and warm-hearted and I can kinda understand how the disproportions make them look 'cuter' but I thinks its cruel.
I won't judge someone who has these Pokemon, of course, but it does make me a little... skeptical about them.

Cara Liss in fanon: She is an amoral Pokemon researcher mocked and hated by the scientific community for her methods and does not care for the sanctity of life as she deliberately creates abominations who constantly suffer.

i understand why cara liss is called that
she is named "careless" literally xd
the proper course of action would be to combine the fossils that match with each other instead of "hey, let's combine the drake and bird together" and we get a frankenstein monster
i understand if each fossil is only a certain part of the body but maybe in the future we'll get the true forms of each galar fossil

Hello professor! In the vein of the ancient oceans post, it would be really cool to see a prehistoric planet-style post about the speculative habitat for all the fossil Pokémon, potentially even one for the "parts" of the SwSh fossils. Thanks for your hard work :)
Thanks for the question, sorry it took a little while to answer!
Without giving too much away, I am currently working on a couple Biomes posts regarding ancient areas. Please stay tuned - I may answer your question in the near future!
However, I will gladly answer your question about the fossils in SwSh, and honestly it is the funniest thing in the Pokémon franchise.
So I don't think I'll focus too much on the biology of the Galar fossil Pokémon because frankly, they're a mess. They clearly were mixed up in the resurrection process and thus are not accurately representing what species were present back when those species lived.
Back in the 19th century, fossil excavation and dinosaur research was an exciting new field of study. It was an intense and ruthless competition to see which paleontologist could discover the most. This granted this period the dub "Bone Wars." Most notably, a feud broke out between Edward Drinker Cope of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia and Othniel Charles Marsh of the Peabody Museum of Natural History at Yale and they would undermine each other in their publishing, try to eliminate each other's research funding, practice bribery and blackmail, they even tried to steal and destroy the other's bones!
So where does this battle of egos tie in to Sword and Shield? Well, in order to discover the most species, sometimes these early paleontologists would make dinosaurs up, using a mish-mash of various bones. Marsh mounted a skull of a camarasaurus onto the body of an apatosaurus and called it a brontosaurus.
Tumblr media
In the UK there were some Dino-mixups. In 1822 a doctor named Gideon Mantell discovered one of the earliest found fossils while visiting a patient in Sussex. This fossil was actually the tooth of what would later be called "Iguanadon." However, no complete skeletons were discovered for some time, so the body of the animal remained somewhat of a mystery. Even today you can find a statue of the early Iguanadon concept in London's Crystal Palace Park. However, the animal depicted in the statue rests quadrupedally on four legs. We now know Iguanadon was bipedal.
Tumblr media
The reason that the fossil Pokémon in Sword and Shield are so hilarious is because that's almost exactly what happened in real life. Cara Liss is the fossil reviver for Sword and Shield, and her story is very much based off of early paleontologists like Cope and Marsh. She is hot-headed, egotistical, and in the anime is shown to make up the Pokédex entries for the Pokémon that she herself create from the fossils. She is clearly yearning to be the very best Pokémon paleontologist, and is thus making up Pokémon that she can claim as her own discoveries.

I'd love to see her blood spilled
I would much rather you said something like "I'd love to see her arrested." Or "I'd love to see her turn her life around and stop abusing pokémon." Wishing such graphic harm against another human does seem to be taking things quite far.
