Mancerxia Innards

The place to discuss all your Plent and Ukfauna questions

[jlind11]

The first thing I'd liek to propose is that all mobile plents that have "photosynthesis" in there diet should not remain extant if their other food goes extinct, since the photosynthesis they carry out is at best a suppliment. Unless the creator reasons/specifies otherwise...

You also have to account for decedents. For instance lets say a plent ate X flora and it evolved into Y flora, then we would assume the plent should still be able to eat Y flora even if X went extinct. That's of course if Y flora is still edible to the plent.

well that goes without saying

Well alright, as far as I know mancerxia at best are, metaphorically speaking, complex polyps.

Only if we assume that no behind-the-scenes adaptations took place during these 18-some weeks since they began to walk on land, which is what I think.

Like what? As far as I know there is a sac stomach, a reproductive bundle of gonads and chamber for development of live young, a few lungs, a heart, and blood filtering skin.

-stomach: at least for the mobon descendants, I've assumed a U-shaped digestive tract
-reproduction: I've always drawn females with a dewlap-like womb sack, while males have a more compact sperm-producign organ (check my art, you'll see it. I'd suggest the dimorphic bandersnatch I made last gen)
-Lungs/heart: a little unsure aboot this, though I assume that these 2 things are connected. I tried speculating this in my "norat anatomy" thread
-Skin: what do you mean by "filtering"?

How do ukbacks breath?

Also, I have asked this question a number of times. Can a trunk or muscle structure be developed around their proboscis some that their proboscis can move?

[jlind11]

1. I'm not sure if that's ever been adressed.
2. I don't see why not. I could be like an elephant trunk with a bone at the tip.

We should have a new subforum dedicated to anatomy.
