Your gateway to endless inspiration
I had this idea once of tar birds (Tarlings?) that would cover themselves in symbiotic bacteria (that they store in the crop [where normally birds store food for fledglings]) and then spread that bacteria on various foodstuffs (animal carcasses, decaying plants) and then slurp it all up as this black gooey substance. In exchange their whole body surface is the perfect habitat for those microorganisms (and also they look like tar because that’s hella cool and also because they accelerate decay by a ton and that’s thematic :> ) They’re nocturnal and lead a scavenger lifestyle, cleaning up decaying biomatter and leaving behind black puddles of goo (that other living things should probably avoid cause brother, they stink) Their wings feature 2 claws each. Because I think claws are cool . And to dig in detritus and whatnot Fledglings look like normal baby birds... until the first feeding when they receive the “tar” from their parents I call them tarlings because it’s a lil pun and a good working name :>. And this one is called Mortimer because that’s what I named him. Might flesh those out a bit more later, maybe when making some sort of game or animation or something along these lines ! Or I’ll just start a fake encyclopedia documenting animals that don’t exist
GET one for yourself for the low low price of all your net worth (this is not an offer)!! And then you can drive on mars (vehicle does not drive on mars) or take a deep dive in the lakes of Norway (vehicle not resistant to water) This was fun to make :> I was aiming for a retrofuturistic aesthetic
One time a friend said “Time flies” and I misunderstood it as some kind of temporal insect type of deal
