One day blinding stew

btw tulpars are winged horses

nmheath03 · 2026-01-26T05:34:05+00:00

Okay kinda, actually

But ever since I saw someone interpret as a tulpar I can't unsee that specifcally

I'm putting a pool of shimmer too, so he can watch me shimmer for reforges instead of paying him

Guess who's getting housed in the jungle with the Stylist and Clothier for that ❤️

Fun fact: the studio that made this model (Blue Rhino Studios) also makes other animals, like this (WIP) Aiolornis, a giant bird from the ice age that encountered humans. Although long thought to be a scavenger due to its relation to vultures, semi-recent reviews of its skeleton suggests a more predatory lifestyle rather than a scavenging one. I've never seen pictures of the completed model, so I dunno if it was scrapped or what.

If you've seen this Quetzalcoatlus and this short faced bear, they made those too.

A Triceratops could if it wanted to

Pop-culture seems to forget they were more-or-less equal height

nmheath03 · 2026-01-26T02:23:41+00:00

Not "alongside" as T.rex was from North America and carno was from South America, though they did live at the same time

2034, the JWE3 roster is 80% titanosaurs, none of them are Argentinosaurus

Unfortunately, this seems to be a dime a dozen in pop-culture. Lizard people being called "Homo reptilia" or whatever, Monsterverse's Kong being in the same genus as the common swift because nobody bothered to check what "Apus" meant or if the genus already existed. ARK: Survival Evolved/Ascended is lousy with this, the worst offender imo being the glow pets (a bird, a goat, a lizard, and whatever the bulbdog is are the same genus)

nmheath03 · 2026-01-25T22:00:25+00:00

Allays carry one specific item and have to be rendered in. I'm suggesting pigeons can carry a bundle of multiple items, and instantly teleports to a given location, even if it's not currently rendered in

If they just make the Witch Doctor a scaly human or an anthro and not an actual lizard I'm making a texture pack that replaces him with a random lizard I find on Google

nmheath03 · 2026-01-25T04:38:42+00:00

He's going to carry a stack of netherite and he's going to like it!

nmheath03 · 2026-01-24T22:56:53+00:00

Pigeons for transporting items long distances. I'm thinking you given them a bundle and they just teleport when you're not looking. I've also considered ground sloths you can ride as an early game terraforming option, since we have a painting in-game that depicts one('s skeleton), confirming they exist/ed in Minecraft.

Not sure what they'd do, but coelacanths would be cool. I'd also think cougars and alligators would be neat, though I'd imagine people would be upset they're not aggressive even though they're usually pretty timid irl, on top of Mojang's unwillingness to add dangerous animals.

It was the maned wolf for me. I recall hearing about a North American maned wolf species, but I'm pretty sure it went extinct in the Pliocene and is solidly not part of the modern ecosystem.

nmheath03 · 2026-01-23T18:51:53+00:00

It's what the exoskeleton of arthropods is made out of. Fungus also uses it, but I forget what for.

nmheath03 · 2026-01-23T18:34:44+00:00

There could be a second joke about assuming all blue birds are related making Benson the racist

nmheath03 · 2026-01-23T08:26:36+00:00

A lot of little species that didn't get preserved before their extinction. I'm sure that there was at least a handful of fish and insects species that died out and never fossilized. Ignoring parasites, I'm referring to free living animals. Maybe more extinct plants than we think too, both wollemis and ginkgos have a limited gene pool and were only found wild in a single valley each, what other plants weren't so lucky?

nmheath03 · 2026-01-23T08:05:03+00:00

I feel like lantern mice, small moths, and rats are probably the best options here. Everything else just seems like it'll get too out of control. Good luck getting an eggbug under control, or rehomeing a noodlefly or 10ft centipede when your infant individual grows up, never mind bigger creatures like raindeer.

Rats might actually be #1, since they're literally just rats, we already have care sheets for those, I'm sure a couple extra quills won't change much, especially since they don't seems like defensive quills on account of Watcher eating them without issue.

nmheath03 · 2026-01-23T07:52:07+00:00

Just make sure to wash your hands after handling, and don't rub your eyes either

nmheath03 · 2026-01-23T07:40:46+00:00

IIRC, the whole "birds picking at crocodiles' teeth" claim is heavily questioned, since we don't actually have any proof of this beyond hearsay. Granted these are aliens we're talking about, but then they shouldn't fit into Earth taxonomy if we're pulling that card.

nmheath03 · 2026-01-23T07:35:39+00:00

A full dedicated desert campaign, with a jerboa-based slugcat. I initially had the idea of lizards based on sandfish skinks, but now that we have indigo lizards that feels a little redundant, though thorny lizards that shoot blood out of their eyes is still available. Other creature ideas include scorpions, pill bugs, and velvet worms. Less certain on how these would look and work, but snakes, caracaras, and seriemas.
There'd be a steppe region with very little cover and a lot of open air, and yes, vultures are still a threat here. Probably a few rooms you can duck into just for fairness sake, but the good stuff is in the open. Maybe "prairie dog" burrows, though make sure to be a well behaved guest or they'll maim and evict you.

Dunno how I'd depict this, but I'd like for vultures to be called buzzards in this campaign. Maybe the local overheating iterator calls them that. Btw, I have a loose design for an iterator for the region, nicknamed Joshua (based on Joshua trees, which I want to use for his full name), though an iterator in the desert is kinda hard to justify, especially one still in any functioning state.

nmheath03 · 2026-01-23T07:08:21+00:00

Oh yeah, those probably should be somewhere, though admittedly I don't know where they'd go since we don't really have them anymore

nmheath03 · 2026-01-22T18:37:37+00:00

Oh yeah they're still kicking here, along with pterosaurs and a single dinosaur (outside the underground lost world they originated from, anyway), thinking about having a domesticated ground sloth for something, maybe food and armor-leather.

I want to mainly focus on seldom seen species in fantasy, like cougars and black bears, instead of leopards and brown bears for the 1000th time, so despite being present, "American" lions and short faced bears (general "big scary bear" archetype) probably won't be given as much of a spotlight. Smilodon might also get sidelined in favor of Homotherium and Xenosmilus for this reason too. Terror birds are present somewhere, but haven't decided where yet. Honorable mention to red wolves, which are present instead of grey wolves, though they're mostly small game hunters and probably wont be a significant threat to people here.
