Taken 2022 28th April, these were two common periwinkle (Littorina littorea), or vanlig strandsnäcka, I found near Klubban Biological Station. In Sweden, it occurs from the west coast to the southwestern Baltic Sea wherever there are rocky shores in the higher and middle intertidal zone, small tide pools, or estuaries down to 55m depths. They are omnivorous, feeding mostly on algae, but will not shy away from something meatier such as barnacle larvae and blue mussels when given the chance. This species is also invasive in North America unfortunately. #animal #animals #djur #wildlife #naturliv #invertebrate #invertebrates #snail #snails #seasnail #seasnail #periwinkle #periwinkles #blötdjur #mollusks #mollusk #snäckor #snäcka #strandsnäckor #animalia #mollusca #gastropoda #gastropod #gastropods #littorinimorpha #littorinidae #littorina #littorinalittorea #commonperiwinkle #vanligstrandsnäcka (at Fiskebäckskil, Västra Götalands Län, Sweden) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cdtell2K9Ar/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Scientist log: the spook cafe gang
Teal: found another group of creatures,this time they were a pair of two demons,a werewolf,a vampire and a..swamp monster I guess. For the first demon,teal,I wanted to make him something equally as vial,so I had my assistant make him look like a zombie,several stitch marks were sewn onto his body,his shoulders were removed to expose his bones,though you can’t see it cause of his long sleeves,though the stitches seem to have caused his skin or furr to become paler,apart from crying a bit in the beginning,nothing seems to have changed.
Mangus: he in particular almost bit my assistant from self defense,but she was able to catch him. I got a bit creative with him,I made him into a multi link. First,my assistant ended up attaching three tail like metal wires onto his back,the two smaller ones are tucked under his shirt while he uses the big one as a third arm. Then I had her add elements to him,fire,water,ice and poison,my assistant injected all theses elements based chemicals into his skin,this caused his arms and legs to become irritated,turning a light shade of red,blue,white and purple,but again,since he’s wearing long clothes,you can’t see it. This gave him to power to control and manipulate these elements even giving others a poisonous bite if he wanted to,however,there was a cost,the amount of chemicals and magic in his system caused his eyes to go black with his pupils glowing a light red,as well as them bleeding he also got a much more intense hunger,revenging any food he could get his hands on,maybe that’s how he became so fat,for a while he appeared to have lost his vision,however,my assistant readjusted his glasses so that he could see again,as they had broken when he was captured,she says that before,he looked really hostile toward her,hissing at her,but when she put on his readjusted glasses,he stopped,she says that he looked stunned,what did that fatso see in her,kindness? HA! Not that anyone would be kind to her.
Pico: with this swamp monster,I decided to make him a monster that does belong in a swamp,my assistant sawed off his legs and replaced them with a snail like tail,attaching a snail shell to his back and attaching gills to his sides and cheeks,I essentially made him into a sea snail. Though,there’s side effects,his tongue became a bit longer from the aquatic functioning of his body and his skin became more aqua greenish,normally he is quite slow,for a while he kept himself in his cell,miserable,however,one day,my assistant ended up giving him a cauldron and random ingredients and his book,that had fallen off him when he was knocked out,she told him that someone had told him he really liked making potions so she brought him all the stuff he needed,I noticed there was a immediate mood change,as he went from depressed,to back to normal,it seems like he might’ve used a speed potion on himself cause after this,everyday,he’d zoom out of his cell,and zoom back into it at bedtime. Since he’s a seasnail,he can slip right into the water tanks if they’re not covered up and talk to whoever’s inside.
Petunia: the other demon in the group,by her outfit,she seemed like a waitress,and seeing how robots seem to be a lot of waiters now,I got an idea. My assistant chopped off her legs,and replaced them with a metal pipe,turning the pipe into a big long metal cord,she attached them to the roof. Petunia can’t walk on the floor,instead,she rolls around on the ceiling,allowing her to be really fast like a roller skater,however,she didn’t seem bothered by this change,as she helps serve the experiments and hostages in the cafeteria,not even looking tired. I believe she’s the one who asked my assistant to give pico his potion making equipment,and she says ever since she did that,she would often find a random treat and drink at her door ever since then,I think it’s her.
Bodie: since he is a werewolf,I got an idea what if I made him even MORE powerful? I had my assistant inject chemicals into his blood stream,this made his veins very visible and his eyes looking more animalistic,he has more strength and middle in his arms and legs,that is hard to see cause of,again,his long clothing. He can’t dent walls and break bones just by punching,he’ll,in his werewolf form he becomes even stronger,his body becoming nearly as big as his cell itself,and his strength and speed is increased,though his behavior becomes a bit more aggressive,he’s more easily agatated and can impulsively scratch those who anger him in this state,though his IS still himself,so he apologizes immediately after and so far,there’s no record of him biting someone. So far,there dosent seem to be much of a difference of behavior,other than him being a bit more confident after his experimentation.
