Eulagisca gigantea (the sea hedgehog)

This is my species

but i anthropomorphisized them into this

i wanted a character in the style off Cream the Rabbit from the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise.

this A.I. generated version did a good job at matching my character's coloring.

I love it. It's just how i imagined it.

your hair choices include: antarctic scale worm

OK YES... YWSSSS THATA AO COOL i need to get a bunch of tiny rubberbansa and tie it into little bristles

"For increased odds of attracting They / Thems towards the trap, use really cool bugs like the Antarctic Scale Worm or the Picasso Moth."

BLACK HAT : SIX LEGS TO ROT

Thoughts to convey

There are predators, herbivores, parasites and scavengers in the insect world. Out of all those types, parasites and predators are the most dangerous. There are many carnivores that hunt down other insects for it’s survival.

Other than survival, there are some insects that store their eggs in other invertebrates. 

Many deceases are spread because of insects. 

Animation idea

Of the thoughts above I have decided to focus on the “cicada killer wasps”. While hatchlings of some wasps are on another level of disgusting on eating their way out of worms cicada killer wasp hatchlings are straight up Jefferey Dahmer's of the insect world.

The animation will show the wasp mother dragging in an unconscious cicada. The cicada is then laid in an egg shaped hole and the wasp lays it’s eggs inside the hole. The larvae wake up to a full course of cicada. That’s not even the worst part. They eat the NON-VITAL organs first so that the cicada won’t die yet. So I think this is a good point to show how dangerous these insects can be. 

GREEN HAT : SIX LEGS TO INNOVATE

Thoughts to convey

1. Exoskeletons

Exoskeletons are supercool! This idea has already been explored by superhero franchises but insect exoskeletons can be pretty awesome armor. For insects exoskeletons are basically their bones organized as a protective shell. 

The exoskeleton is created from chitin protein and is structured in layers which makes insects really strong. 

Let’s compare these feats of strength to human strength. 

The Game of Thrones actor,  Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson who 5 the Mountain in the series made a new strongman record by lifting 504kg of weight. Definitely impressive. But if he had,

The strength of a leaf cutter ant, he could easily lift a medium sized sedan over his head and carry it home.

The strength of a Taurus scarab dung beetle, he could pull a full capacity Boeing 747 Dreamliner.

So insect inspired exoskeletons used in the military will be a creative way to explore the insect inspirations.

2. DNA modifications

DNA extractions and modifications is a fast growing industry in the world now. Many animal and plant DNA has been used in medications. If we develop DNA studies to an extent that allows us to safely combine our DNA with other species DNA in order to enhance both physically and mentally we would be very powerful as a species

Currently DNA extraction of insects is used to identify pests and genetic markers. But we know some superhero insects that has interesting DNA.

We can use flat bark beetle DNA to survive cold climates and study extensively the Arctic and Antarctic regions. After all we are limited by our heat seeking bodies.

We can use Sahara desert ant DNA to survive large heat levels. These could help us study volcanic areas more effectively or even be used as a survival method in desserts.

Animation idea

A soldier from the future lands on the Everest. His mission is to extract a climber stuck in the cliffs. The soldier is garbed in a futuristic exoskeleton armor and bumblebee wings that retract to the back. After landing the soldier switches to DNA splicing option on his controls and selects the flat bark beetle mode. This helps to combat the environment. And walks on towards the cliffs. 

This would incorporate both the DNA modifications and the exoskeletal design.

BLUE HAT : SIX LEGS TO APOCALYPSE

Thoughts to convey

Yes the end is near! We discussed the possibilities of giant insects and in fact all these hats lead us here. If insects would be giant sized and attack humans, we will die.

Interestingly there is one factor we did not consider. While giant insects would be absolute nightmares, we do have a chance of survival. Let me explain.

Body mass and physics is weird on small scales. While insects can lift more weight than their body weight, there’s also limitations of growth.

 if ants were to suddenly grow in size the body weight would be the same. Since their exoskeletons are quite heavy, it would be really uncomfortable in a large body. 

This means ants would be sluggish in movements and collapse into themselves.

But this is if we consider the current oxygen levels in the atmosphere. Now if those were to change we know that things are about to get really bad. Ants, spiders and other insects would be able to move the same way they did as small creatures.

Animation idea

A newspaper article sports a headline that due to we winning the climate crisis, oxygen levels in the air have risen to almost 30%. A countdown shows 29% changing to 30% and boom a park is filled with dog sized insects. There’s a pause before chaos ensues as insects bite and attack the humans.

God micky7 wasnt good but i keep thinking of the creatures i forgot what they were called. In my heart they look like a bobbit worm w a bit of antarctic scale worm. Loveee his discussion throughout of sentience in alien life forms in both the short tales of past colonies plus mickys growing concern about if the creatures on this planet are sentient. Like take away the stupid looney toons esque omg i have to hide my clone story he decided on and didnt do anything with it was sooo interesting i rly hope the sequel dives into all that more. Bjh i trust you w my life pls make a good movie even if i have to stare at pattingson for 2 hours

#augh just. i havnt had time to read much recently but the outcome is that i need to read more sci fi books ive always liked them but never #reached for them ykwim

Some of my takes on a Flatland square. Tried not to rip off the designs from Ladd Ehlinger Jr’s film but golly I can’t not give Flatlanders little hairs for moving and feeling things with. Now I’m bouncing between cilia, whiskers, seajelly tentacles, and Antarctic scale worm bristles.

When it comes to the internal stuff I’m trying to find a balance between realism and aesthetic cartoonishness, but the love-heart shaped heart was an absolute must! I’m also trying to decide whether Flatlanders should have free-floating cell-like organelles (easier to draw) or more animal-like organs with all the connective bits.

But at the end of the day I’m not a biologist and I don’t know exactly how Flatlander organs would work, so there would have to be an element of “Don’t think too hard about how that works”.

Let’s try this again. Make a horrid combination of the frilled shark, basking shark, goblin shark, and the antarctic scale worm

Paperback adventure first published in 1967, a group of divers attempt to recover gold from the frilled gill-slits of a leviathan that time forgot.

note to self: make an antarctic scale worm fursona🤭
