"The scale worms have been believed to be descendants of a different species that INVADED the deep-sea millions of years ago."

Oh funny, in the wiki article it mentions black coral to be megafauna. Never thought of corals as megafauna, fascinating!

[-] perishthethought@lemm.ee 5 points 3 months ago

And TIL the word megafauna so thanks!

[-] WhoPutDisHere@lemmynsfw.com 5 points 3 months ago

Superorganism is a great term that kinda applies as well.

[-] nintendiator 3 points 3 months ago

Next on your road: charismatic megafauna!

[-] perishthethought@lemm.ee 3 points 3 months ago

Is that the colorful kind? (I can't look it up right now)

[-] nintendiator 2 points 2 months ago

It's the kind that drives Conservation Efforts and Media Attention. So yeah, I guess they tend to be colorful.

[-] Enkers@sh.itjust.works 40 points 3 months ago

Danger tail plug.

[-] agentshags@sh.itjust.works 14 points 3 months ago

"What attachment type do you want? Buttplug or buttbite?"

[-] abfarid@startrek.website 18 points 3 months ago

Looks like something you'd encounter in Morrowind.
...and you'd miss all the hits and get owned.

That mouth is usually hidden and only shows when they feed/eat/hunt. Golden feather Xenomorph

Like me wearing a balaclava for my social anxiety
