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

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.

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.

I wanna see human exoskeletons on lawns this year.

Do blow-molds technically count?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day 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.

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".

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

Oh wow, it is

I'm impressed it almost got the 5.99 looking right

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

The eyebones are great

[–] [email protected] 64 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 54 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Necromantic Carcinization.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 2 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.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day 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"

[–] Nuke_the_whales 21 points 1 day ago

I saw an octopus skeleton decoration the other day.

[–] FuglyDuck 28 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 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.)

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

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)

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."

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

[–] Etterra 13 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Eventually everything becomes C R A B or dies trying.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

This one may have done both?

[–] Etterra 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

9/10 would do again.

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

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago

Analogous structures? I don't even know her!

[–] Clinicallydepressedpoochie -1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's inaccurate plastic animal skeleton season again

It's inaccurate plastic animal skeleton season again?
