@ConfessionsMew @Hexaterminal I have 70 cats, and I can say that I keep that many because I like having multiple mutation variations. For example, some of them inflict bleed with their basic attacks, which wouldn’t be ideal for a cleric to have.

@Hexaterminal Clearly we are doing something wrong

I'd get rid of the ones that have already passed down their good mutations -Lucy

@Doomstone7000 It's more of an arachnid, the "beetle" in the name is just bait 😉
English
@Leopard2a714 It's just for the bite 😀
Ofc it's more arachnid in nature, so meh, whatever haha.

@Leopard2a714 Once hatched, the larvae continue their early life within the parental “ball,” protected among the adults.
After reaching the imago stage, they leave their parents and begin a solitary wandering, traveling alone until they eventually find a partner and form a new cluster.
English
@Leopard2a714 These creatures rarely roll alone. They usually live in dense clusters of 2 to 20 individuals, forming a tightly packed ball. Within this living knot they mate, reproduce, and raise their young. Their eggs are laid in the form of an ootheca.

Why does this inspire such disgust and conflict in us?
It's hard to argue that this solution isn't better. Better a brainless sack of protein than a living creature capable of pain, longing to see the sky but forced to live in hideous lifelong bondage.
So why does the Harvest Hen or the Domesticated Meat Pig feel worse?
I think it's because it makes the instrumentalization visible. We already treat living creatures as production units, but this takes it "too far"... it stops pretending otherwise. An organism that has been openly, unapologetically designed as a object.
And for some people, in some ways, something about that honesty is harder to look at than the cruelty we've already normalized.
Original brainless meat pig "bodyoid" art by @Coolio_Art made me want to make my own.

the ultimate solution is through technology we engineer what has been called a bodyoid: brainless animal bodies that provide as much meat as we desire without harming any sentient beings this would transform medicine - the same platform would allow us to grow organs on demand, eliminate transplant waiting lists, and produce perfectly matched tissues for each patient experimental therapies could be tested on full biological systems without involving conscious animals, regenerative medicine would accelerate as entire replacement tissues become manufacturable in the same way that agriculture turned food from a scarce resource into an abundant one, engineered bodyoids would turn biological material into infrastructure - meat without slaughter, organs without donors, and medical research without sentient suffering

@lemon4rt That is an incredible idea! I love it! It is so creative. 😍

Kingeater dragon #sketch, another dragon heavily inspired by past draconic iterations. Desperate folk looking to remove those of the highest status can attempt to strike a deal with this dragon. It takes crowns as part of payment, wearing them as proof of its success.

@Sarah_Draws8 Thanks 😊That was actually my inspiration for this design!

@lemon4rt The most beautiful of horses! I love its circular shapes; they remind me of the tracery in a cathedral window. 😍

@lemon4rt Don't Worry, he don't bite 🙂
