kaijus are a speical form of wildlife

how specialized/

....
you ask how speical kaijus are?
zdoofop - Today at 6:11 PM
yeah
7ux0n0 - Today at 6:11 PM
*special
very special, out of the normal wildlife category
Mr Arca9 - Today at 6:11 PM
this creautre would be a kangaroo and kaijus are like humans
zdoofop - Today at 6:12 PM
yes, but what categorizes a kaiju?
7ux0n0 - Today at 6:12 PM
sicne they are often certain breeds bred by the Tsi-Hu
zdoofop - Today at 6:12 PM
i'm sorry, kaijus are like humans?
vedrit - Today at 6:12 PM
Apex predator?
7ux0n0 - Today at 6:12 PM
and the small kaijus themselves are the Tsi-Hu
yeah, kinda like humans
Mr Arca9 - Today at 6:12 PM
sorry, i was trying to show the drastic difference lol
7ux0n0 - Today at 6:12 PM
they work another way
while our "turtles" are like armadilloes and kangaroos
Mr Arca9 - Today at 6:13 PM
this creautre would not be even close to apex, 1 puncture hole in it's shell could kill it
it wouldn't be able to dive into lava, leaving it extremely exposed to other preditors.
vedrit - Today at 6:13 PM
Extremophile
7ux0n0 - Today at 6:14 PM
and it couldnt hunt
Mr Arca9 - Today at 6:14 PM
exactly, it wouldn't be able to regulate body temp
it would have to stay in the butter zone until healed
now we have to figure out how it "heals"
7ux0n0 - Today at 6:15 PM
they probably got a hard shell though, so smaller predators dont got a chance
Mr Arca9 - Today at 6:15 PM
^ yea
just BAMFs
7ux0n0 - Today at 6:15 PM
yeah.. thats hard...
Mr Arca9 - Today at 6:15 PM
carbon liquid mixture?
something that if heated leaves only the carbon behind
7ux0n0 - Today at 6:16 PM
maybe like a scurf that got bloodvesels so the new part of the shell can be made
Mr Arca9 - Today at 6:16 PM
well, the healing would also be done out of lava
7ux0n0 - Today at 6:16 PM
and after its healed the scurf dies off
Mr Arca9 - Today at 6:16 PM
so we don't need to worry about that, we just need a way of getting the carbon to the damaged location with out system in place
7ux0n0 - Today at 6:17 PM
the question is also, how does it feel if it is hurt?
Mr Arca9 - Today at 6:17 PM
gas leak
it can't pressurize it's shell
it wouldn't "feel" it like pain, but it would know
7ux0n0 - Today at 6:17 PM
yeah, but it jsut feels that the gasleak is in that certain aprt, but not where
maybe the beams?
Mr Arca9 - Today at 6:17 PM
maybe it can smell the gas, and get the location?
7ux0n0 - Today at 6:18 PM
no...
that wont do it
Mr Arca9 - Today at 6:18 PM
or if the gas is pigmented red
7ux0n0 - Today at 6:18 PM
that still doesnt tel it to the body
Mr Arca9 - Today at 6:18 PM
what do you mean?
the inability to pressurize would tell the body, right?
7ux0n0 - Today at 6:18 PM
i guess nerves in the beams, and make the beams tight enough to feel the wound
yes, it woudl tell it soemthing ,but nothing too specific
Mr Arca9 - Today at 6:19 PM
i could see that, the beam nerves would also feel the temp of the gas
so that works well
7ux0n0 - Today at 6:19 PM
oh yeah
and maybe it feels smaller wound by the lower temperature
Mr Arca9 - Today at 6:19 PM
internal temp changes yea
i mean at that point it could feel the passing of gass over the beam to the outside world
and because our system is closed, that would be a very bad sign for the animal
7ux0n0 - Today at 6:20 PM
it coudl also feel the lower temperature
or it jsut feels the lower temperature(edited)
Mr Arca9 - Today at 6:20 PM
yea depending on location
and by location i mean on the planet not the wound lol
7ux0n0 - Today at 6:21 PM
since things like gas movement are other kind of receptors(edited)
feelind movement would need something like hair
and we cant have that
Mr Arca9 - Today at 6:22 PM
true
now, what does it hunt, does it stay with the father / in pairs, does it pack with others
7ux0n0 - Today at 6:22 PM
i think a small pack
Mr Arca9 - Today at 6:23 PM
i would guess scavanger, nothing with extremly sharp stabby things
7ux0n0 - Today at 6:23 PM
and as prey smaller predators
eh, shit, we still need to concider the edges of the plates and the way it shuts itself in
*consider
Mr Arca9 - Today at 6:24 PM
hmm
carbon nano tubes are flexible
so there isn't anything that says carbon HAS to be riggid
7ux0n0 - Today at 6:25 PM
still, my concern is the energy transfer of the edge
Mr Arca9 - Today at 6:25 PM
it could be weak points in the plate
7ux0n0 - Today at 6:25 PM
yeah, maybe some medium hard parts and then flexibile parts
Mr Arca9 - Today at 6:25 PM
what i am thinking is the plate tappers off, to a thinner point that can be moved freely, but when it curls up, the hard plate rolls over to cover the other one
7ux0n0 - Today at 6:25 PM
and using the second layer to move the 1st layer
Mr Arca9 - Today at 6:26 PM
in this case it would be very much like an armadilo in the way the plates are stacked on each other in points that require movement
7ux0n0 - Today at 6:27 PM
hm...
Mr Arca9 - Today at 6:27 PM
We just made a create that can survive in lava, breed, and hunt that is also sientifically proven to work lol
7ux0n0 - Today at 6:28 PM
welp, half way
still, its scientfic plausible, and thats enough
Mr Arca9 - Today at 6:28 PM
agreed
wonder if this creature design would make it into the game, i think it's a pretty neat concept
7ux0n0 - Today at 6:28 PM
not proven since we got so many unclear factors
Mr Arca9 - Today at 6:29 PM
and we can't make it ourselves
like IRL
7ux0n0 - Today at 6:29 PM
i think as passive wildlife
Mr Arca9 - Today at 6:29 PM
i want one as a pet
7ux0n0 - Today at 6:29 PM
yeah, that kind of DNA and RNA manipulation is overthe top lol
and we dont got the cold areas , too, nor do we have any thing close to the lava surges
Mr Arca9 - Today at 6:29 PM
if it does go in the game, it would be cool if we could have a pet version of it as "we designed" it
7ux0n0 - Today at 6:29 PM
xD
