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

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

The eyebones are great

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

Necromantic Carcinization.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 2 weeks ago

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

Great band

Sounds like a hell of an Isekai.

[–] [email protected] 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"

[–] [email protected] 39 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)

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 weeks 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.

I saw an octopus skeleton decoration the other day.

Eventually everything becomes C R A B or dies trying.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

This one may have done both?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Worth it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

9/10 would do again.

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

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 weeks 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.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I wanna see human exoskeletons on lawns this year.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Do blow-molds technically count?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks 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.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago

Analogous structures? I don't even know her!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

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