I gotta find cute Dark Souls stuff.

Please do.

Here's a teeny babby gecko.

-snip-

A+ geck.

Bipes Biporus, the Mexican mole lizard, one of four species of worm lizards (which are not lizards oddly enough) that has retained it's front legs. It looks like a wee worm with arms. 

Spoiler: Worm Lizard stuff (click to show/hide)

Worm lizards are a relative of lizards that split off from them at some point. They eat invertebrates and very small mammals, live near entirely underground and are mostly blind. Because of the way their scales are arranged they look segmented like earthworms. Grow to at most 2 or so feet in the largest species. Most have no legs, with the exception of the aforementioned four species found in Mexico which still have their forelimbs.

Mole lizards are precious little boopers.

Mostly, that seems like it would stem more from the "which group wants to raise a family" tendencies of said groups, since male spiders roam around enough that the raising a family stuff would be impractical (the roaming is also why they tend to offer themselves as food to female spiders, since they have better chances ensuring that their current brood survives than mating with multiple ones. Meanwhile, female spiders may offer themselves as food to their offspring, resulting in what amounts to zombie food sources that are also the mothers of what are eating them). On the other hand, since we're talking about a civilized group, where those factors don't come into play, they may not have any such lean or perhaps even the opposite.

It seems rather unlikely that that'd be something shared by a whole race, but that reminds me, adding values for how much adoption tendencies tend to vary among civilizations. So the syntax would probably be something like [ADOPTS_CHILDREN:SPECIES:CASTE:REGULARITY:VARIANCE], where species can be ALL, ONLYSAPIENT or OWN, CASTE can be ALL, OWNSPECIES (any caste found in the own species), OWN (will only adopt children that belong to the same caste as the adopter) or NOTOWN (will only adopt children that belong to other castes than that of the adopter), REGULARITY would just be a number from 0-100 that determines the probability of adoption and VARIANCE would just be how much it varies. Two numbers as VARIANCELIMITS might also be useful as part of the syntax, if you want a species to always form civilizations that don't adopt any children, for example. [PUTSADOPTION:CASTE:REGULARITY:VARIANCE] would be the counterpart.

Bats are the best. Especially vampire bats, which are incredibly social, to the point of commonly adopting young who lack parents. Also, their ears are the silliest-looking violations of Euclidean space I've ever seen.

Also, I'd like to point out that Litten's fire comes from its hairballs. It barfs fireballs. You can't tell me that's not an improvement over normal hairballs. 10/10 best cat pokemon since the first gen.

If people are going to start acting like transphobic jerks here and claiming being transgendered is a mental illness, I'd like to note that psychology as a whole does not consider being transgendered a mental illness, but does consider gender dysphoria one. Also, I get the feeling a lot of people here seem to consider mental illness a reason to take people less seriously, which is just...stupid. Sorry, but I can't think of a better way to put it.

I'd be interested to here it too. Incidentally, I'm in a similar situation. Should I post about it here or make a new topic?
