The inaccurate ones are the scariest. That crab isn't remotely natural, it must be the work of a truly gifted and insane necromancer.

[–] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

AI necromancer that thinks "skeleton" means a bony texture to the original shape, complete with a ribcage.

[–] Comment105@lemm.ee 2 points 1 week ago

The eyebones are great

[–] OpenStars@discuss.online 65 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Can you prove that the skeleton didn't turn into a crab after the original creature died? 🦀

[–] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 53 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

Necromantic Carcinization.

[–] OpenStars@discuss.online 32 points 2 weeks ago

If everything, and I mean everything will become a crab, then it makes sense to me.

Sounds like a hell of an Isekai.

[–] elidoz@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm sold on the idea, I want to see it now

"Necromancer who can't build an army because they keep turning into crabs"

[–] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org 42 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

When you ask early AI to generate a skeleton of any animal, there will almost always be a ribcage in the outline of the animal's "torso".

I mean.

yeah.

This one is... uhm. yeah.

But I have to confess... I LIKE IT.

(I want to buy a bunch and wire them up with servos and pull rods to make them do the Crab Rave dance.)

Me: Wants to make Crab Rave Dance Drones

You: builds laser turret Final Fantassy Spider Bot.

me: "okay, lets compromise. make the spider bot do the rave dance. After vanquishin lots of balloons. Also, it has it's own laser show laser.... so, that's cool."

I like the whole "skeletons of animals without bones" thing. I've got an octopus, a spider, and a frog, haven't seen a crab yet though.

(I know frogs have bones, I just like frogs)

[–] Nuke_the_whales@lemmy.world 21 points 2 weeks ago

I saw an octopus skeleton decoration the other day.

[–] androogee@midwest.social 19 points 1 week ago

You're assuming that it's a reanimated animal

I'm assuming it's a couple babies skeletonized and combined into a bone golem.

We are not the same.

Eventually everything becomes C R A B or dies trying.

[–] OpenStars@discuss.online 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

This one may have done both?

9/10 would do again.

1/10 take a nap, and then do it again.

[–] hazardous_area@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The ones that annoy me the most are the spiders or bugs with bones. Like that’s literally the whole thing with exoskeletons, it’s already on the outside.

[–] Comment105@lemm.ee 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I wanna see human exoskeletons on lawns this year.

[–] jrubal1462@mander.xyz 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Do blow-molds technically count?

[–] Comment105@lemm.ee 0 points 1 week ago

I don't want to count them because I kinda meant I wanted to see suits of gnarly armor, but I can't not count them.

[–] parapsyker@startrek.website 8 points 2 weeks ago

Analogous structures? I don't even know her!

[–] DamienGramatacus@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

And I have recently bought one (scorpion skeleton) for my next DND game I'm running.

[–] radicalautonomy@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

It's mostly uber-lit (though inaccurate) plastic animal skeleton season.

[–] Clinicallydepressedpoochie@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It's inaccurate plastic animal skeleton season again

[–] Comment105@lemm.ee 2 points 1 week ago

It's inaccurate plastic animal skeleton season again?
