According to Wikipedia it's actually a slime attack, so let's not get too excited. God's favorite beast is still probably the Platypus.
Have you seen the number of beetle species?
God's favorite critters are beetles for sure
Platypus seems more like, "Let's see how many features I can cram in something before it breaks people's immersion."
Velvet worm used Slime Gun
It's super effective!
Honestly though those action shots are cool AF
Yeah but they don't show how random it is.
In these still shots they look like focused beams but in reality they just spray that shit all over the place.
Edit: Found a video.
"I swear this never happens," lies the velvet worm assessing the slime that's everywhere
This is clearly Caterpie using string shot.
It’s cool…but it’s not shark with lasers on its head cool
Imagine if those little fuckers were like 20 feet long.
Uh, I have bad news for you...
Yeah yeah wise ass. I meant like 6.096 metres.
The joke was thet they are but you didn't know. Hidden horror kinda joke.
I’d kinda Iove it if they were. If there was remote island in South Asia where the BIG ones lived.
We could summon it by having tiny twins sing its name.
“Ooooooooh BETTY!?!?!”
If we start the selective breeding now, we could be there in a couple hundred years!
Are they that slow?
