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

[–] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] Comment105@lemm.ee 2 points 4 days ago

The eyebones are great

[–] OpenStars@discuss.online 64 points 5 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 54 points 5 days ago (3 children)

Necromantic Carcinization.

[–] OpenStars@discuss.online 32 points 5 days ago

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

Sounds like a hell of an Isekai.

[–] elidoz@lemmy.ml 5 points 5 days 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"

[–] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org 41 points 5 days 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".

[–] 10_0@lemmy.ml 19 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Didn't look like ai, until I looked in depth at the picture

[–] Comment105@lemm.ee 4 points 4 days ago

Oh wow, it is

I'm impressed it almost got the 5.99 looking right

[–] androogee@midwest.social 17 points 4 days 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.

[–] Nuke_the_whales@lemmy.world 21 points 5 days ago

I saw an octopus skeleton decoration the other day.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 28 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (2 children)

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)

[–] hazardous_area@lemmy.world 11 points 4 days 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.

[–] Comment105@lemm.ee 9 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I wanna see human exoskeletons on lawns this year.

[–] jrubal1462@mander.xyz 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Do blow-molds technically count?

[–] Comment105@lemm.ee 0 points 4 days 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.

[–] DamienGramatacus@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago

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

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 13 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

Eventually everything becomes C R A B or dies trying.

[–] OpenStars@discuss.online 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

This one may have done both?

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)
[–] OpenStars@discuss.online 1 points 4 days ago

9/10 would do again.

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

[–] parapsyker@startrek.website 9 points 5 days ago

Analogous structures? I don't even know her!

[–] radicalautonomy@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

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

[–] Clinicallydepressedpoochie@lemmy.world 0 points 4 days ago (1 children)

It's inaccurate plastic animal skeleton season again

[–] Comment105@lemm.ee 2 points 4 days ago

It's inaccurate plastic animal skeleton season again?
