Here's my obscure animal of the day...

FYI these are both the same species...

C17 may be a pain in the ass but when you finally get to Kotaro...

Top 10 Battle in Anime
And the best thing? Finishing it with a crit at these odds

Because Shura gives zero ****s about your "odds"

Are you ready for another animal?

What is this thing?

Nature's mistake

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

If you think that's bad, just imagine what this would've been like IRL.

Spoiler

It was an herbivore though

 

[Deleted member]

It was an herbivore though

I know, but people aren't afraid of bugs because they kill(Well, most of the time, since some can kill of course), people are afraid of bugs due to their appearance. My point is more so that it would've looked really freaky.

 

[FalKoopa]

It was an herbivore though

Are you implying herbivores aren't terrifying.

The Hippo association would like to have a word with you.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I know, but people aren't afraid of bugs because they harm people, people are afraid of bugs due to their appearance. My point is more so that it would've looked really freaky.

I'm only afraid of bugs that can creep and crawl on you and inject venom without you being able to notice

I think you'd notice an arthropleura on you

 

[Swamp Sensei]

So yeah, that thing is called a Bobbit worm.

I'll describe it a bit.

Imagine a 4 feet long worm about as thin as a straw. Except its sides have very sharp spines. They have no brains. They have no eyes. They just bury themselves in the sand and wait for fish and other creatures (even crabs and octopi) to swim by. They attack when a shadow lingers for too long or they are touched. They lash out with large jaws and drag the fish under the sand. Apparently their sting can PERMANENTLY NUMB A HUMAN AND ITS JAWS ARE STRONG ENOUGH TO RIP A FISH IN HALF.

That might be the only animal on earth I feel like I can get nightmares from.

I believe that is Volcarona.

Holy **** THAT's an uncovered bobbit worm? I've only seen video of it buried and killing fish. I noped right out of there. Seeing it uncovered only makes it worse...

 

[Deleted member]

They have no brains. They have no eyes.

But to they have a funny face?

 

[Deleted member]

But to they have a funny face?

Not as funny as your face. OOOOOOH

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I got one. It's got massive crushing arms that hug it's prey drawing them closer to it's mouth with the insides of it's arms lined with barbed spikes. It can also shoot acid from it's butt. It's two first arms are specialized sensors rather than for walking

 

[Swamp Sensei]

After creepy crawlies, how about something much nicer looking?

What's this?

 

[FalKoopa]

But to they have a funny face?

I'm glad I wasn't the only one who saw that.

After creepy crawlies, how about something much nicer looking?

Okapi.

EDIT: Nvm it's not. It's probably an ibex

 

[Opossum]

Okay I have one for you guys. No cheating.

First one to get it gets pranked virtual high fives.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

That's a bear cat

Edit: I don't know if that's it's colloquial name or it's official name

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

So I mad a japanese eshop account and I see a game of witchs on flying motercycles

What is this game and why do I want it

 

[Yellowlord]

Okay I have one for you guys. No cheating.

First one to get it gets pranked virtual high fives.

Uh.... I was going to say that it looks like a type of bear (the sun bear), but bears don't have whiskers and they are larger compared to the animal in this picture, so I am unsure.

EDIT: I guess I was wrong then. Oh well.

 

[Opossum]

After creepy crawlies, how about something much nicer looking?

What's this?

Is it some type of oryx?

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I found it, a bear cats official name is "Binturong"

 

[Opossum]

I found it, a bear cats official name is "Binturong"

Bingo!

They're one of my favorite animals and my go-to obscure mammal. They also smell like popcorn.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

No one has gotten my animal yet.

 

[Opossum]

No one has gotten my animal yet.

I remember reading about some type of gazelle that's critically endangered and used to be bred for meat. Is it that thing?

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

While looking it up, I remembered about this beautiful creature


Edit: Found it using google

a "Bongo"

 

[Swamp Sensei]

I remember reading about some type of gazelle that's critically endangered and used to be bred for meat. Is it that thing?

It's endangered, but I dunno if it's because of meat.

But I don't think so.

Not a gazelle by the way.

Psycho cheats again, but you are correct.

I found the evil version of that monkey

 

[N3ON]

So I beat BotW. Quite the game.

Spoiler: Very Spoilery Stuff

Didn't bother finding all the shrines, and especially not the Korok seeds. I'm not insane. And even with the shrines, there comes a point where running around looking for them begins to not be too fun, at least for me. I had ninety-something, that was plenty. With all my healy items and my upgraded armour, I was tanky enough without need for max hearts. I did get all the memories though. Partly because I wanted the true ending (which was nice - but nothing special imo) and partly because... I just liked the cutscenes. It was refreshing to have VA in a Zelda game. Though some of the actors were kinda ehh.

In any case, kind of funny that even closing in towards the end of the game, the bosses I still had most trouble with were, not the little Ganon blight things (the Fireblight one stumped me for a bit but wasn't overly tough), not even Ganon himself (though it def helps to have all four divine beasts) - which was surprisingly easy after an Urbosa's Fury or two - but the Silver Lynels, lol. Especially the ones with the clubs. So that was kind of weird, haha.

I enjoyed the first phase of all the Divine beasts, when you needed to wear them down so they could be infiltrated. Those were generally pretty epic feeling and creative. My fav were probably the bird and the elephant. Once inside though they became a little irksome. I kinda prefer normal dungeons what with their different themes and all, but I do appreciate how both they and the normal shrines challenge your inventory without making you rely on some specific item for completing them like past dungeons.

And as for the world itself... no complaints. Only praise. It was wide, it was varied, it was interesting. Really an accomplishment in world-building. Personally I like towns, so maybe it would've been nice to have a few more of them (even with Tarrey Town - which was a fun sidequest... other than getting all that wood), or one bigger one or something, but that's more a personal thing. Also, I loved the character designs and general artstyle. It was gorgeous throughout. The only character I didn't like the design of was Revali. Which was unfortunate because I did like the designs of other Rito like Kass and Saki and that one you ride when you fight the divine beast. And I guess it would've been nice if Ganon has a more humanoid form at some point. My favourite designs were probably Mipha and Zelda in her white dress.

I heard a lot of complaints about the weapons breaking... but once you learn not to get attached to any one item (and if you really care about it, don't use it - or store it at the house like I did with the Champion weapons), it's not a huge deal. I only ran out of useful weapons once during the game.

Also I hated how often it rained. Made climbing things a real pain sometimes. And I get what they were trying to do with the horse controls but I still didn't like them. Made me rarely travel via horseback. I preferred bearback. Which is why Ganon's last phase made me groan, but once I realized it was super easy... it wasn't a huge issue. But those were my only gripes with the game, and they weren't huge. It was just realism detracting from fun I suppose.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

No.


Psycho cheats again, but you are correct.

Looks like some kind of elephant shrew?

Elephant shrews are strangely actually related to elephants through Afrotheria

 

[Deleted member]

Now that's edgy. What a rebel that monkey is.

No.

That's easy, that's an elephant shrew.
