I dreamt there was a new kingdom hearts game people hoped I'd review designs from because it gave oogie boogie a boss form where he not only grows bigger but hunches over, creases his body into segments, unfurls more limbs and inverts his head like you roll up a sock, giving him an unmistakable new shape:

This was what he always really was, a much greater being than just the boogieman, known as "Starvation Tardigrade" Oogie Boogie. It felt like an End of Evangelion apocalyptic anime reveal.

The internet was freaking out because it was suddenly obvious this was hidden in his design even in the original movie, pre-planned in the 90s, and it was also how the entire Kingdom Hearts franchise was going to end forever

Are there any tigers… in space?

Small ones, "Tigerdigrades."

Taxonomy Tournament: Invertibrates

Pterobranchia. This class is made up of small worm-shaped sessile marine filter feeders that life in secreted tubes.

Tardigrada. This phylum is made up of tardigrades, also known as water bears, eight-legged segmented micro-animals. They're among the most resilient animals, able to survive high and low extremes in temperature and pressure.

Is this an alien? Probably not, but of all the animals on Earth, the tardigrade might be the best candidate. That's because tardigrades are known to be able to go for decades without food or water, to survive temperatures from near absolute zero to well above the boiling point of water, to survive pressures from near zero to well above that on ocean floors, and to survive direct exposure to dangerous radiations.

The far-ranging survivability of these extremophiles was tested in 2011 outside an orbiting space shuttle. Tardigrades are so durable partly because they can repair their own DNA and reduce their body water content to a few percent. Some of these miniature water-bears almost became extraterrestrials in 2011 when they were launched toward to the Martian moon Phobos, and again in 2021 when they were launched toward Earth's own moon, but the former launch failed, and the latter landing crashed.

Tardigrades are more common than humans across most of the Earth. Pictured here in a color-enhanced electron micrograph, a millimeter-long tardigrade crawls on moss.

The newfound species seen here is one of about 1,300 known types of tardigrades. It was discovered in moss growing on dead tree trunks in Germany’s Black Forest. Far too small to see with the unaided eye, this creature is among billions of life-forms on the forest floor that are essential to the health of the planet. Magnified 2,400 times.

THESE TINY CREATURES ARE MARVELOUS

Fungi like this Resinicium bicolor—shown magnified 7,000 times—start breaking down dead trees by digesting lignin, the complex compound that helps form woody cell walls in plants.

Scales of silica cover the single-celled body of a testate amoeba. These types of amoebas are named for the hard shells they create, possibly for protection against environmental changes within the forest litter.

Resembling a fairy’s gift basket, the fruiting body of a slime mold, magnified 400 times, releases spores from its perch on woody debris draped in fungal filaments. Slime molds feast on other microbes found in decaying plant

Some mycorrhizal fungi make their homes inside plant cells, as seen in this cross section of a European blueberry root. This allows soil residents of very different sizes to exchange nutrients—helping the forest

Taxonomy Tournament: Ecdytes

Tardigrada. This phylum is made up of tardigrades, also known as water bears, eight-legged segmented micro-animals. They're among the most resilient animals, able to survive high and low extremes in temperature and pressure.

Euonychophora. This phylum is made up of velvet worms, long soft-bodied many-legged invertibrates. They are the only phylum of animal to exist on land but not water. They have slime glands on their heads, which produce and squirt slime they use to ensnare prey and deter predators.
