Thread: Strange beast

COCONUT CRABS.

Jesus I didn't know they got THAT big.

I once started writing a story (well a serial that didn't get anywhere but I still have the ideas around) where one of the characters, a Neurologist-MD/Geneticist/(Mad Doctor, spoilers~) had coconut crabs as pets. The doctor was named after an obscure French poet who had an awesome name for a neurologist (DE NERVAL, a nom de plume but still awesome), and he had a pet lobster called Thibault. The coconut crab was called Lucien. There would have been genetically modified supercrabs if I ever had got to that point, a few stories later after the first one...

Very cool site.

Cool link. It reminded me of the Barry the Giant Sea Worm story that came out a little while ago.

Barry:

YUCK! - That is one ugly beastie

re Sea Worm - Very cool!

I can't believe the comments from people who said "its ugly" they should get rid of it!


If it was 20ft and growing a foot a day I'd agree. What a compelling beastie. If it were close I'd go to see it. Doubt it do more than hide though.

seems to me a lovely worm

Thanks Turgenev, I was looking for a borrower that a bunch of Kobolds were using to dig some new tunnels and you just gave it to me )

just need to make it about 4 foot dia , give it some stats, and Voila - instant player freak-out

I love the bit that says the sea worm is capable of inflicting permanent numbness on humans with its sting. Wow! That worm must have some Carrion Crawler blood in it.

Yeah good pic that worm thing. Some interesting beasts are pretty ugly...

A site oft quoted as being a good resource but I haven't been there much is this one...
