P!nk

Alright let's talk about the elephant in the room. What's the crotch mouthe for and why is it there.

Ryan

Hey P!nk that is its mouth the slit on its head is its nose, they’re just like that because of how they evolved

ByYourCommandIGuess

why does anything evolve the way it does? Humans can't be the only species with some wacky evolutionary features going on!

Ryan

Rowan, i designed them back in 2016 i was and am fed up with humanoids so i try to come up with the craziest things I can haha

Coltrane Schmurder

I didn't want to make fun of it with that question.... Thought that you might had an specific reason for the design.

Ryan

What would this thing's walk cycle look like? It's hard to visualize with the legs conjoined at the thigh like that.

Thomas Rørby Petersen

The forelimbs look like they can bend to the side and maybe towards each other as well. I imagine that when the creature wants to move at high speed, it rolls forward, kind of like doing a rollover. Then the hind legs would add a lot of speed, when they make contact with the ground. Eventually, the creature would only touch the ground with its feet. The head would be tugged to the body. Kind of like this spider: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=brh8Fv7Lw9M This motion would only work in a habitat that doesn't have a lot of obstrutions. For short distances, the creatures motion would probably look like a kangaroo walking: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mi53VlMA31I I imagine that the tentacle mouth thingy, can be fully or partially folded into the body.

Thomas is correct, it moves with a hopping motion using the forward limps to rebound off of. It can also shuffle between the two limbs for short distances.
