Cryptozoologicon: Dobhar-chu, Gator Man, Kushtaka, and Qallupilluit

Dobhar-chu: Among the largest species of otters alongside the giant otter and sea otter. This Irish species of otter is a descendant of a North American species, which crossed the Bering Strait Land Bridge prior to the end of the Last Ice Age. Once common throughout Eurasia, they have since seen a rapid population decline due in no small part to the shifting climate, as well as human hunters who came to prize the poor creatures pelts. The only species that survived were those that somehow managed to arrive upon the Irish Isle (it is theorized to have been, ironically, through human introduction, perhaps with groups of breeding pairs serving as a Celtic chief's prized pets).

Gator Man: In a case of evolutionary repetition, a splinter species of American Alligators (or even a terrestrial Crocodilian Species) convergently evolved the traits of their long-extinct Dinosaurian Relatives. They began to transition into an endothermic internal system, which would not only enable a more active lifestyle (as well as let them stand on their hind limbs for even greater periods of time), but even allow them to survive in much colder environments than their exothermic relatives (explaining sightings within both New York and New Jersey).

Kushtaka: Another surviving member of the sasquatch family as shown here https://www.deviantart.com/dragonthunders/art/Sasquatch-ursus-803742013. As such, the Kushtaka would carry the same traits, such as the elongated snout and more pronounced claws of bears, while having the (mostly) bipedal lifestyle of sasquatch. The reason why this species did not transition fully into its terrestrial relative lies within their lifestyle, as unlike sasquatch they are semi-aquatic in nature. Utilizing their Bipedal stance, the Kushtaka is able to wade into deeper water than most bears in their search for shellfish and other potential food sources.

Qallupilluit: A species of large arctic cuttlefish (Though it does rely on the idea that no one has actually seen the whole creature or at least, never lived to tell about it). Similar to its smaller relatives, the Giant Arctic Cuttlefish utilizes its color-changing capabilities to hypnotize, or even attract, potential prey. Specialized in attracting Arctic Seals, or even young Polar Bears, the Arctic Cuttlefish Floats near the edge of the shore or an ice-sheet, displaying a hypnotic display of colors that attract animals, and small children, to the water's edge. Those that hear the cries of their children see only the creatures flailing tentacles, as it and their child descend into the deep.

Did you watch dragonball it had 3 (sorta) series Finalies and the Manga wasnt canceld and the Show (yes Z doesnt Count the show never really stopped) was just renamed
I'm not gonna count DragonBall as a whole since their canon storylines are based on...but more importantly the adventures continued in other series within the world

I'm mainly meaning one show that does not have a continuation of the heroes and their adventures

Looking back at the possibility of another PFP tier list, I’m curious as to where I could place, considering I was second-to-last the last time one was posted. Not a big deal, I’m just mumbling to myself.

This is something I'm hoping we'll see in Godzilla vs. Kong.

An King Ghidorah-Mechagodzilla abomination?

Because what I'm thinking we could see in the film by the third act is King Ghidorah starting to regenerate from his brain once having regained control for a while and due to it being in Mechagodzilla his body grows outside of Mechagodzilla hence what he becomes as I mentioned above.

Be very lovecraftian-horror like!

I might go through with it if a few more people show interest. Don't want to drop it on everyone without notice just in case someone wanted a change.

I wonder sometimes. If a single cell can be alive on it's own, are multicellular organisms just a very large colony organism. Are humans not really a single entity but colonies of entities. I mean, we don't have direct control over every part of ourselves. What is our thoughts?

Robots have tons of screws and pieces but you don't classify a robot by each individual ****ing part of its assembly.

You could though. Isn't it just a choice not to?

I think a lot of scientist actually believe multicellular life evolved from single-celled organisms that lived in colonies, but eventually became more dependent on each other.

We're less like robots made of screws, and more like a collection of simple nanobots connected to each other in order to form an infinitely more complex robot. It's just that the "nanobots" we're made of are useless on their own, while some singular "nanobots" are able to function without others.

You know what else is kind of funny? Neurons, the cells that make up our brains and nerves, have two states - firing off electoral signal or not. This is kind of a simplification, but your brain is an infinitely complex machine that pretty much runs off binary.

Which is both insanely cool but also existential crisis-inducing.

So basically... there's a Telegraph Line running through everyone?

I knew that Schoolhouse Rock song wasn't lying to me.
