My earlier calculations were completely off once again, as I was accidentally basing them off of the length of Hatzegopteryx’s skull instead of its body. Most fliers seem to only have a wingspan of double their length, instead of five times, so that would bring wingspan down to a nice 280-300 meters

I should stop doing math equations while distracted lol

Edit: I don’t want to add them all as an edit to this post, so as soon as I see someone else has posted here I’ll post the rest of my critters. Whoever posts, much appreciated!

(Don’t worry doom, it’s only seven including the one I’ve already submitted lol)

Edit 2: Seven actually ain’t that bad compared to the amount some others submitted, but they did admittedly submit them before the deadline was extended

yes, I will be seek and see what u done (and everyone)
just to u know, this more realsiutic project, so I think like u mansen before: the cuba law are something else. create too big will just be die even if have enough food because of physics limit

There is free time later today so that would be a good time to check and organize everything and see if they go along with the script.
Update later


So it’s not considered submission?
An omnivore date is fine, you’re the one serving, as long as it can act like a real creature of course. The laws are the laws of the universe known to us, and it seems okay

its wolund be nice to name them too if u want

Chimeric Parts: Flying Fox + Dragon Millipede + Electric Eel + Giant Cuttlefish

Description: A stealthy, terrifyingly deadly hunter, it flies through the night skies at incredible speeds, perfectly silent. An aquatic, terrestrial, and aerial hunter, able to breathe with both gills and lungs, each of its many sharp legs is tipped in claws and edged with fins that aid it in swimming, as does the large, joined caudal, anal, and dorsal fin. It is covered in heavy armor, and can be observed crawling through the jungle canopy, searching for fruits to munch on or prey to hunt, utilizing it’s deadly breath attack of hydrogen cyanide or its ability to launch deadly bolts of lightning. When not outright engaging in battle, the maneuverable skin atop its armored carapace changes shape and color depending on its environment, making it almost entirely invisible. When ambushing something, it can launch coiled tentacles from its mouth to strike at lightning speeds. It is about 8 feet (2.5 meters) long, and has a wingspan of about 12 feet (3.66 meters).

Diet: Fruits and a variety of fauna.

Size: 8 foot (2.5 meter) length and 12 foot (3.66 meter) wingspan

Environment: Jungles, usually tropical but occasionally subtropical, both in the canopy and the waterways, though they can rarely be seen on the ground.

Other: Armored Carapace beneath skin, fins and claws on its many sharp legs, gills and lungs, Entirely silent flight, skin changes color/texture, grappling tentacles when close enough. Also utilizes electric shocks and clouds of hydrogen cyanide.

Himmelgiganten

Himmelgiganten

Chimeric Parts: Surinam Toad + Hatzegopteryx + Swordfish + Giant Bamboo

Description: These titans of the skies are among the largest creatures of their time, and perhaps some of the oddest. The gargantuan female travels with a harem of males, usually around ten, whom cling to the undersides of their mates wings or hang on to their mates long, bamboo-like tails. They have an ever-present mating season, and after fertilizing the eggs the males will carry them up to the females back and use a specialized foam to lock them in place, where the females skin will rapidly grow over them. The young then photosynthesize there, on their mothers back, underneath a thin layer of skin, slowly storing energy, as the mother uses the remaining surface area of her body and wings to photosynthesize for herself.

Upon encountering potential prey, males will actively hunt and herd prey, using their sharp snouts like swords and spears in combination with their claws and jaws to grapple with prey if necessary, herding and gathering it for the female as they consume some for themselves. Both sexes also retain their gills, and males will sometimes dive beneath the surface of the waves to hunt for food.

Occasionally, if being hunted by the rare predator or stumbling upon a particularly large group of prey, the more mature younglings will burst out of their mothers back by the thousands, causing surprisingly minimal damage to the mother during this process, and swarm the skies like clouds of animated daggers, spearing into and through opponents with their razor sharp snouts like swarms of airborne piranhas. After their feeding frenzy, they will return to their mothers back, where they will once again have skin grow over them and they photosynthesize in a torpor like state until they are almost mature. This process can take upwards of 100 years, which is but a fraction of a fully grown adults lifespan.

When they have almost matured, individuals will leave one by one, females to fly the skies and males in search of different females, recognizing their siblings by scent. Upon leaving their mother, their stored up energy allows them to rapidly grow into their adult sizes, similar to how bamboo stores its energy in its rhizomes.

Diet: Photosynthesis, Opportunistic Omnivory

Size: Females can grow up to 150 feet long, with a wingspan of 300 feet. Males are a much more modest 15 feet long, with a wingspan of only 30 feet. Young Himmelgiganten are significantly smaller than even this, usually only 3 inches long with a 6 inch wingspan.

Environment: All Tropical Skies, and occasionally Subtropical ones

Other: Skin-brooding, Youngling Swarming, Male Hanging, long bamboo-tails, powerfully built clawed legs (rarely used by females), Sword-snout, gills and lungs

Søtmorder

Søtmorder

Chimeric Parts: Therizinosaurus + Hairy Frog + North American Porcupine + Capybara

Description: Appearing to be giant, capybara like creatures with shaggy fur and long, fluffy tails, these animals are chill to hang out with, and will do so with anyone and anything. Attack any of them, however, and all nearby will show you just how deadly they can be. From underneath their abundant fur, long, powerful hind legs will support this creatures bipedal gait, and well built forearms can grasp at opponents. When feeling particularly threatened, they will cause various parts of their bodies to snap, pushing giant claws out of their forelimbs and becoming covered in a thick coat of bony, barbed quills, injuries which are healed incredibly quickly and body parts that can be put back into place with barely a thought.

Diet: Low-growing Flora, both terrestrial and aquatic

Size: Normally appears around 15 feet long, but is really around 35 feet long, unfolding itself when it is entering combat.

Environment: Tropical Rainforest

Other: Giant Retractable Claws, Webbed Feet, Powerful Legs (Jumping), Retractable Quills, soft fur, usually gentle demeanor

Dødshorden

Dødshorden

Chimeric Parts: Snapdragon + Zombie-ant Fungus + Aye aye + Giant Sequoia

Description: A Temperate to subpolar tree, they usually appear in the shape of enormous evergreen trees, with many colorful, hanging blossoms of snapdragons. This creates almost magical, incredibly vividly colored forests, with trees standing upwards of 350 feet tall. In the height of spring and summer, their is nowhere more beautiful, attracting pollinators for hundreds of miles around and making the woodlands be incredibly dense centers of life.

However, the same cannot be said the other half of the year. In a cruel twist of fate, beauty is turned into horrific monstrosities by necessity. The large boughs of the tree are now decorated in withered flowers, appearing as chains of primate like skulls as if mocking the woodlands former glory. As the cold of winter gets closer and closer, these skulls will start to shift, becoming 2 foot tall, oddly proportioned lemur like skeletons, with five long, narrow, and clawed digits. The animated husks of these dead blossoms serve the forests they are connected to, killing creatures far and wide and bringing them back to lay at the roots of their home tree, where they are consumed one by one to provide the tree with enough energy to make it to spring.

As the warmth sets in, the animated husks slowly run out of their own energy, dying and returning to the soil as their birth trees last meal before the coming season of beauty and prosperity. New trees can also be made by being carried and cared for by blossom husks, but are more often made via asexual reproduction through the roots.

Diet: Photosynthesis, Carnivory/Scavenging/Decomposing

Size: Tree bodies of upwards of 350 feet, Blossom Husks of around 2 feet tall.

Environment: Temperate and Subpolar Woodlands and Rainforests

Other: Blossom Husks, Incredible colors, Sweet Nectar, Pollen with an enchanting smell, loss of leaves and petals in winter

Gåpest

Gåpest

Chimeric Parts: Geography Cone Snail + Sandbox Tree + Platypus + Walking Palm

Description: These fairly large trees are covered in tubular, thorn-like protrusions, which are partially hollow and filled with an intense mix of Geography Cone Snail Venom, Platypus Venom, and the Poisonous Sap of the Sandbox Tree. Utilizing electroreceptors all up and down the trunk of the tree, the tree can recognize when a critter is passing nearby and then launch their thorns at prey at upwards of 160 miles per hour. The trees large, elevated root system with then drag the large tree over the carcass as quickly as possible (minimal risk of tree toppling) to consume it as it continues to build up its toxins. It’s walking roots also allow it to search for locations with the most optimal amount of sunlight.

These trees are also easily able to thrive in semi-aquatic environments, and have had their bark reinforced with shell and bone material.

It’s seeds are largely similar to that of the Sandbox Tree, but significantly more poisonous and durable, surrounded by shell and bone and able to extract air from water as they grow if necessary. These seeds can be launched upwards of 350 feet from the parent tree during their initial explosion, and then early walking roots can carry the tree even farther as the seedling hunts for prey and an optimal area to set down its first real roots in the soil, locking it into that place until it matures enough for its roots to be fully developed and able to carry its adult weight against gravity.

Diet: Photosynthesis, Carnivory, Scavenging

Size: Upwards of 200 meters tall

Environment: Tropical and Subtropical Rainforests

Other: Exploding Fruits, Launching Poison Thorns, Intense Poison belgiumtail, Electroreception, Walking Roots, can be semi aquatic, shell and bone reinforced bark

Chimeric Parts: Bowhead Whale + Glaucus Atlanticus + Titanoboa + Kryptoglanis shajii (Toothy Cave Catfish)

Description: These long, powerfully built creatures are able to survive in almost any subterranean environment, and tend to live in the deep caves while hunting in shallower caves and the area around them. It’s jaw is almost 25 feet long, and on top of that can be unhinged to swallow much larger prey if necessary. Their eyes appear to be on their bottom jaw, and they are pattered with a variety of deep blues, greys, blacks, and whites. They can breathe underwater, both in freshwater and saltwater, as well as on land, and can thrive beneath thick ice sheets with their heavy blubber and hot deserts by producing a cooling slime. If struck by poison, they simply add that poison to their own deadly mucus sting, instead of being affected by it.

Between meals, these creatures tend to go into a deep torpor, not using any energy until they need to hunt for their next meal. They can spend these on any surface by binding themselves their with mucus, and have been known to bind themselves to the ceiling in order to ambush unsuspecting prey beneath them the moment they awake if such an opportunity arises.

Young of this species tend to stick to shallow caves in more temperate, subtropical, and tropical climates, venturing out to devour smaller prey items as they grow. They are generally much more active than their adult counterparts.

Diet: Carnivore - Any and all fauna that wander into/near its cave

Size: Upwards of 80 feet long as an adult

Environment: Any and all caves worldwide

Other: Heavily muscled, Incredibly large mouth with thousands of needle-sharp teeth, ability to unhinge jaw, incredibly toxic mucus, gills and lungs, ability to enter torpor until next meal, climbing, swimming, high mucus production, Eye appears to be on lower jaw but it actually just lives upside down, take poison and make their own.

Chimeric Parts: Giant Siphonophore + Scaly Foot Snail + Giant Tube Worm + Black Dragonfish

Description: Ethereal beauties of the deep sea, these magnificent creatures behind their lives as tiny planktonic creatures with tough shells and sleek fins, just large enough to feed off of smaller zooplankton, phytoplankton, and marine snow with their tiny tentacles and suction mouths. They tend to congregate in the Twilight Zone, rising up the water column at night en mass.

Once they mature, these creatures come together and fuse to form one of the most magnificent sights in the deep sea. A long, thin body, reinforced with spikes of shell, shards of bone, and plates of metal. From between the gaps in this armor, tentacles weave and flow, highlighting each black metal plate with a deep crimson glow. Near the front end of this organism, a large air bladder is shielded under armor just behind a large head, with rows of clear, razor sharp teeth filling the mouth and lining either side of the back like spines. It’s eyes, massive orbs of deep crimson set back into its elongated skull, stare out at the pitiful prey lured in by the glowing blue whiskers sprouting by the dozens near its head and trailing the length of the creature, passing by the sharp metal crown and large fins just behind the head, as well as the two rows of giant tube worms and their tubes sprouting from the creatures back.

Just bulky enough to be menacing, just beautiful enough to be spooky. A truly ethereal being.

Diet: Chemosynthetic Bacteria (of multiple varieties), filter feeding, carnivory, Marine Snow

Size: Upwards of 160 feet long

Environment: Deep Sea

Other: Glowing Tentacles/feelers, Air Bladder, Large Mouth, Invisible Fangs, metal Armor, Tube Worms tubes down back, giant lures, red lights, large eyes, pitch black skin and armor, structure reinforced by bone, shell, and metal, big fins, some bulk but not enough to be incredibly noticeable


I think they meant that if this was a real life creature they wouldn’t sleep at night . Not sure though

No I should be fine, think I fixed that

I would like to rename my Organism #1 to Capiticrimena Gelidvultusa (head-charge frozen-look).
Also there is second organism by me, you don’t have to add it if you don’t want to.

I’ll call it Contrarea Harenaortuma (against-circumstances sand-rise)

Edit: Nevermind, it is in plants section.

I’ve edited my above post so it now has better formatting


I would submit more chimeras, but I’d likely end up doing 21 total if I did any more, which I think is a bit much for a single person lol

Name: rocket sparrow, jack, jet beetle, ghost pepper birb.

1: towhee
a: feathers
b: general body plan

2: bombardier beetle
a: hydrogen peroxide glands
b: reaction chamber
c: exoskeleton
d: 6 limbs
e: an extra pair of wings, but mostly used as leaves or steering appendages

3: auxenochlorella pyrenoidosa
a: the whole thing as an endosymbiont in all the skin/exoskeleton, feather, sclera, and egg cells cause this thing’s goin’ oxygen free places at some point.

4: fruit bat
a: hindlegs and forelegs can act as wings due to a skin connecting them to the main body/exoskeleton. these wing membranes get scales and bloodflow control instead of an exoskeleton due to high mobility requirement

description:
the rocket sparrow is a sparrow with a chitinous, nerve ending free combustion chamber (with more than trace amounts of silver as a catalyst) that has a nozzle coming out of it and going past the cloaca to prevent the bird getting burned by its own flames. said combustion chamber is fed by a bladder lined with epidermal tissue that constantly has highly concentrated hydrogen peroxide put in it by a few dozen hydrogen peroxide glands. this bladder uses a few one way valves to ensure the explosion doesn’t go backwards.

due to being able to go up where the air is thinner than a bird should be able to breathe, rocket sparrows have the ability to close off their nostrils so they can’t have any gas enter or escape them, an exoskeleton under their feathers that only grows in after reaching maturity to keep in pressure and prevent them from exploding under too little pressure because of holding their breath, bloodflow in the hairs of their feathers that doesn’t get cut off in the final set of feathers (it’s the final set because it’s the one after the last they shed) to allow their currently eukaryotic chloroplasts to have as much surface area to photosynthesize as possible, speaking of which, they have green eyes from their endosymbiotic chlorella having enough light to survive in the scleral and iris cells and not impeding sight while there

the first step of the female ghost pepper birbs choosing a mate is finding a group of male jacks, the second step is seeing how high all of them can fly, with all but the top three being disqualified from further stages of the competition. the third stage is having them all fight to see who is the strongest, with the winner being the one the female jack chooses. this means that over time the ghost pepper birbs will adapt to fly higher and higher until or past them exiting the mesosphere before they evolve proper rocket fuel.

all jacks have 4 pairs of wings, two of which are used for walking, one of which is primarily composed of chitin and is mainly used for photosynthesis, and the last of which is only used for flying, but does aid in photosynthesis, and can fold down against the body to protect the thinner insect wings underneath them

while jet beetles are resistant to low pressures, they cannot yet withstand a vacuum as their eyes are not covered by something hard and clear, and thus would depressurize in a vacuum, especially if the jack is holding its breath

I have a feeling that due to the more realistic half of the Chimarion community, the first round will see a rapid normalization or die off of species such as the Rocket Sparrow or Himmelgiganten. Not that that’s necessarily a bad thing lol, but it won’t be quite as crazy as the pioneers.

if the rocket sparrow doesn’t die off we’ll get things that can go to and from space before sapience happens, but if it does die off then i guess sapience will have to come before space.

Robusaravisaurus - Tree plower lizard

Saltasaurus
Large osteoderms on the back
Smaller osteoderms between the larger ones
Fermenting stomach
Rapid growth (they slow down as they get older but hatchlings grow fast under the first 15 years of their lives)
Supersaurus
Airsacks
elongated cervical vertebrae
Hollowed bones

dromedary
Fat bump
Their horror of a mouth known as papillae (The titanosaur teeth still exist alongside this horror)

Robusaravisaurus is large herbivore which graze upon a variation of plants and trees, they prefer conifers-like plants and ferns however due to Robusaravisaurus being a nomadic species it can cover a lot of ground during these long migrations and possessing a fat bump at the meeting of tail and thighs helps it to stave off starvation and deyhydration during long journeys without food. When they’re out on these long migrations they often push trees down and have a feast resulting in high conretrations of feces which renew the enviroment after the giants have taken their fill this often result in open meadows and trees being seperated from each other rather then a complete paradise of trees. Robusaraviaurus would be considered immune to predators when adults, their tails alongside the armour they have ussually deter most predators unless desperate only real predators exist is when their young often hatchlings and yearlings are in the greatest danger even then following years aren’t exactly easy on the young till they at least reach late stages of being juveniles often being young adults to be safe completely.
Egg clutches range from 15-50 eggs often then not only one makes it out of a clutch to adulthood due to the amount of predators hunting the young, though they go off the strategy off being too many to eat when their first born which at least aids their siblings to reach later years even if it was by pure numbers once a year.

Robusaraviaurus is relatively found all over the main part of the supercontinent though most herds are found in the north during summer before heading south during winter, their not picky when migrating but they do ignore certain plants due to their teeth not being able to deal with it and fermentation takes too long however the adults and young eat seperate things, adults often eat from trees and results in pushing them down while young eats low hanging trees or ground plants even eating aquatic plants if they pass them by during migration but their stomachs change during the years and by the time they reach adulthood its often limited to a select few species of plants.

Size: They’re slightly longer then real life supersaurus and barely taller.

Ater infloconi - Black puff pine

Suillus luteus
Pioneer species
Mycorrhizal
Frequent rates of sexual repodroduction (resulting in extensive geneflow and allows it to evolve traits for certain heavy metal toxins that could be otherwise toxic)
latex droplets

Craterellus cornucopioides
Infundibuliform
Ridges

Lepista personata
Fruiting season extents from summer to beginning of winter

Ater infloconi is a species of fungus that is symbiotic with mostly confier related species but do exist as symbiotes of other species, it produces a latex to avoid insects eating the main body when fruiting though a side effect is that its shape is infundibuliform which makes latex fill the inside of the mushroom slowly but surely, this does still catch and actually kill insects unlike the latex around its foot and head. Ater infloconi does however start fruiting in summer and ends in early winter making this species rather active and quite freqeuent in their sexual reproduction. They themselves aren’t toxic but they can harbour heavy metals their immune to that may be toxic to creatures eating it however often then not the mushroom remove the toxins from their main body and its host in a beneficial relationship for both of them.

size: 6-9 cm tall and 3-4.5 cm in diameter.

Pinus pernicies - Pine pest

Maybug (real name would be censored)
Hibernate 80-100 cm in the ground during winter

March fly (also known as lovebugs)
Massive maiting swarms
Larvae eat decaying plant matter or plants close enough

Hessian fly
Lay 250-300 eggs
feeds on sap as adults

a species of beetle that dwells in temperate forests and plains as adults their sucking sap from undergrowth mostly species off grass and rare cases ferns meanwhile the grubs often laid on the surface off the earth and then hatching near decaying plant matter for the first year burrow down and endure the 3 years of change in a timer before they hatch supplementing their diet with roots during the years underground and when the time comes a swarm of these will fly and mate and repeat the process, adults live past their maiting season but a large part do die to predators and hibernate during winter again before reemerging to forage for food.

size: 30mm to 40mm

Thraexdicax - Saber tongue

Numbat
Colour gland (this produce a material which numbats do to make them self redder when an male is trying to find a mate)
claws
Insect tongue

Snow owl
Good night vision
Wings (weak power flight but are used as gliding wings for the most part)

Musk deer
its funny tusks
musk glands

A territorial species of marsupials gliding inbetween trees they are capable digging and forming burrows which is where they mostly nest however they do nest inside tree trunks when possible, females will alongside males have terrotires but male and females will have overlapping areas between the two sexes but never each other and when the time comes the male will move the glands at his cheek and spread it over his chest to get a red colour to appear attractive to his mates. They mark their territores with their musk gland which is quite strong and makes their intentions clear of it being their lands which range a lot with some even having territories entirely in the trees though the reason of this is their active search for prey inside the trees using their strong claws for their size to get bark off to get the goodies inside and with aid of their long tongue can reach prey easily inside though not nocturnal they posses a very good nightvision complenting their already strong eyesight aiding in spotting insects out in the open however this is more to find eusocial species rather then solitary insects though their not above eating insects when they can find them. Mothers will often get triplets and care for them under the year until they reach matiurty in late autumn and driven off by their mother with the females becoming adults the following month but males taking an extra year to reach adulthood due to larger size and their tusk being larger then those of females. Males also uses these tusk to joust however things can go ugly if none of them back down with them turning to their claws the loser usually either being killed or greviously wounded for predators to easily pick when done, they also use their tail of black and white and vocals first though as confentration is not an optimal end for either party

Size: 52.5 to 57 cm

So yeaaaaah, this will be all but to make it easy on you doom just tell me whats wrong and I’ll hastely change it to what is needed.

a: size
b: body
c: blood
d: scales
e: bones
f: stomach acid
g: stomach lining, but make it line the whole body

#2: hammerhead worm

b: growth abilities
c: claws(1 at the end of each tentacle)
d: exoskeleton, but instead of shedding, the protective lining is simply moved to under the exoskeleton so it gets dissolved
e: book gills, but they’re muscularized, and also have the stomach lining coating the inside

description:
the cavedigger worm is a giant snake that digests its prey externally by producing its stomach acid outside its body. due to this, it has no stomach, and instead has the start of its small intestine immediately after the end of its mouth, which has a filter so no solids can get past said opening. because of the lack of expansion of the digestive tube the octopus brain didn’t need to be moved into the skull, and thus stays a torus around the ‘esophagus’.

tunneler snakes have an extremely thick exoskeleton that easily breaks down in the presence of a strong acid. “but how do they have an exoskeleton if they’re constantly swimming in their own stomach acid?” you may ask? well the answer to that is that their stomach lining has been moved to every inch of surface area that touches their acid! their exoskeletons are weak to acids so that they don’t die early due to not being able to shed when they need to! since they’re constantly swimming in an acid that’s meant to digest everything but the stomach it’s in the body lining is simply moved under the exoskeleton when it’s time to shed!

cavedigger worms dig by scraping the rock with their claws to get rid of everything that their stomach acid doesn’t digest. they eat pretty much any subterranean animal, including their own young if they don’t have their body lining by the time they’re born; and they occasionally surface and create pits that anything that falls into it will not only fall several tens of feet, but get digested before they even see the thing that’ll slurp up their nutrients.

due to constantly being submerged in their own acid, but still having a need to occasionally dig up for air, tunneler snakes have both the lungs of a titanoboa, and the gills of an ancient lobster. however, the lungs are completely evacuated and filled with mucous before being closed when preparing to dig down, and the gills simply close when exiting the acid they secrete. it is important to note that cavedigger gills use the same lining that the rest of their body does, but thinner to balance upkeep cost and gas transfer

cavediggers obtain water by digging up when they get dehydrated and digging back down to re-enter their acid pool, and waiting for rain while digging in circles to make a lair area bedded with the finest gravel they can make. they typically reproduce by ripping off the claws of 4 of their tentacles while their acid is at its lowest concentration and leaving it partially submerged in their acid. this generally causes the claw, which no longer gets blood flow, to panik and tell its stem cells to start making new, tiny cavediggers instead of regrowing a huge tunneler snake, while the tunneler snake that ripped off its claws just grow the claws back. ofcourse, this is only their main method of reproduction, as they typically do not encounter eachother, but when they do, they use the method that produces genetically distinct offspring, and hundreds, if not thousands or even millions of eggs are produced, of which around 1-10% survive to adulthood, with around 70% surviving the acid they’re born in, but not eachother.

cavediggers reach reproductive maturity at around 1 year, while being able to live until they simply get so big they cook themselves from the inside out because of being so big. when this happens the stem cells that survive turn into young worms and eat the parts that are sufficiently cold

the cavedigger digestive system is an interesting one, they digest their prey outside their body, allowing them to breathe in its nutrients with their gills as a consequence of taking oxygen out of their acid, but primarily so they can gulp it down with their mouth directly connected to their small intestine, which, instead of using peristaltic muscles to move the fluid, uses several single chambered hearts to move the nutrient rich acid through the digestive tract where it becomes depleted of nutrients, before exiting through the cloaca as little but things the cavedigger can’t digest, methane, hydrogen sulfide, water, and heavy metals. despite not having a stomach, the cavedigger worm has several areas of its small intestine that use folds to be able to stretch into a spheroid when full as adaptations to getting the nutrients it digests externally without being able to eat solids.

I accidentaly was reacting with wrong emojis, so if you got notified, I already changed it.
