Yo, i don't eat on fat kids.

Also, the system is complex. Most lung-bearing/airbreathing things don't count.

So if it walks like a fish and talks like a fish, as it were... Fair enough. There's some consistency there. :nods:

Talk me out of this.

Have you watched the videos? HAVE YOU? :panic:

If we were to biggerize them, they'd surely pulverize/slice our enemies. :monocle:

Thine enemies would just use more butter.


Oh I see your point. We make these delish lobstery buggers bigger, our enemies use more butter, clog their arteries and have heart attacks. Hmmm, a slower process, but this may just work.

Post Re: Mantis Shrimp.
Pistol shrimps are smaller than Mantis shrimp, and have a large pincerless claw (about 1/2 the size of their entire body) that is armed with a spring & hammer device that can fire with such force it can stun and or kill animals with the bubbles created. Those bubbles, similar to the ones produced by the mantis shrimp, can create energy and light due to the sheer speed of the blast.

The snap caused by the firing of this weapon gave them the name "Pistol Shrimp" and puts them in a contending spot for loudest sea creature behind beluga and sperm whales.

My god, that is like something out of Mega Man X. It shoots projectiles from it's fucking pincers.

Also, SCORPINOK, TERRORIZE!!

Clearly, if we could crossbreed the pistol shrimp with the mantis shrimp we would have underwater superiority in both projectile and hand to pincer combat.
