I've made some relevant updates to the bestiary now that we're on a planet with local fauna.

[So here's an attachment with the updated version!]

At the moment, I've only heard tell of the mammoth things roaming around out there. All current notes are either based on secondhand accounts or pictures that have been sent to me. I'd like some real specimens to take a look at, if anyone's game.

Apparently there's other critters too, though they seem to be rare as I haven't encountered any myself. If anyone runs into anything alive on this planet, let me know and I'll add it.

Thanks.

Impressive list, though I have to disagree about the nurses. The wendigo were way fucking worse. [ Like she's got anything to really add. Sorry, Newt. ]

[completelycrazy]

Oh I guess I should update that. Ogres are now at the top of my crappy monsters list.
What was so bad about the wendigos? Those guys were before my time.

Did you search those broken husks?

[completelycrazy]

What husks?

[hoperulesdespairdrools]

Did you check out any of the rocks and ancient broken machines lying around?

[completelycrazy]

Wait what? There's broken machines?
If you're talking about stuff thats like outside of town I havent ventured past city limits yet. It's too cold for exploring.

caught some little purple mice in my snares.

i let them go but if you want one i can catch another. i was just testing the snare.

I'll see if I can get you one. I've been thinking of going out hunting again anyway.

What shape do you need it in?

[completelycrazy]

Oh damn yeah thatd be great. Was it uhhh just a mouse but purple?

[completelycrazy]

Ohh right. Damn dude I bet your ability is pretty useful on this planet huh?
Uhhh as intact as possible would be ideal but I'll take whatever I can get at this point.

[such_a_teez]

Absolutely. I'm staying rather comfortable right now because of it.

I'll keep it intact, but I might need help to get it to you if I can't chase it near.

[theweakhavepurpose]

more like a gerbil i guess. hops on back legs, long tail with a puff at the end.

real talk it looked like a super tiny, purple Raichu.

[hoperulesdespairdrools]

I haven't been very far outside and there's a few in the city too.

[Not that he should be venturing outside at all but shhh]

[fogsong]

My best friend turned into one. The Door brought in... I don't know, fucking spirits, I guess? [ Back then she'd assumed it was solely the gods doing but her view points have adjusted slightly since then. ] At the same time, Rage and Fear decided to stock some human meat in the stores without some nice labels or anything. These spirits liked people that ate meat. Took them over. Changed them. Painfully.

When it was all done, they looked like mummies, limbs too long and bones jutting out. They couldn't see but they were fast and relentless, stronger than something that fucking frail looking should be. Most of us back then went vegan after.

[ She's not so much any more but she's much more careful about any meat she eats and prefers to stick with fruits and veggies (or poptarts) ]

[completelycrazy]

Wait can you heat stuff? Ughhh jealous.
I have a cart that we could use and I could probably get some of my interns to help carry stuff if need be.
Don't chase the thing toward town though omg.

[completelycrazy]

Lol awesome. Are they gerbil-sized or bigger? I think Raichu is more like uhhh raccoon sized or something. I can't remember.
Tell me it can shoot lightning too.

[completelycrazy]

Where'd you find them? Can you bring them to the lab?

[completelycrazy]

Whoa. Shit. That sucks.

[An understatement, but it's rare to get any sympathy out of Newt.]

Thats messed up. So uh that hasnt been a problem since right?

[theweakhavepurpose]

gerbil sized.

man i wish. it didn't zap me when i caught it. though it did try and bite me. but it was a cute little thing.

i assume you want a live one right?

[standformyself]

[Because writing it a little hard for the Dog.]

Shall I try to herd one for you? I can likely catch you a little creature as well, a rodent of some sort, although there is some winged creature that may be a little harder.

[fogsong]

Not that I'm aware of. There may still be wendigo spirits around but I know Hope kind of forbade Fear and Rage from tampering with our food again so no mystery meat spaghetti-os for us anymore.

[such_a_teez]

I just remove what makes the air cold from the air, and I do just fine that way. [NOT THAT IT MAKES SENSE AT ALL. Tyki isn't educated enough to even understand what he does, and how he does it. It just happens, and it benefits him that it does.]

I'll kill it before it gets too close. There's nothing to worry about.

[utulien_aure]

Ah. So is 'mammoth' what we will be calling them?I had wondered.

[hoperulesdespairdrools]

Well I'm not sure if that's a good idea.

[And very quickly Newt gets a video. Komaeda shows up on camera and then moves it to his right. There, Newt gets a shot of what looks like a possibly sleeping Null.]

I took a picture of the mammoth.
Give me a minute and I'll send it to you.
[it comes as an attached picture of a close-up of one of the mammoths with its mouth wide open, showing all of its teeth. it's a picture taken in obviously close quarters, so close one would wonder why she wasn't eaten]
If you want, I can try to herd one over to you?
