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

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

The eyebones are great

[–] [email protected] 65 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

Necromantic Carcinization.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 2 months ago

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

Great band

[–] NegativeInf 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Sounds like a hell of an Isekai.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months 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"

[–] [email protected] 41 points 2 months 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".

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)

[–] Nuke_the_whales 21 points 2 months ago

I saw an octopus skeleton decoration the other day.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 months 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.

Eventually everything becomes C R A B or dies trying.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

This one may have done both?

[–] Etterra 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Worth it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

9/10 would do again.

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

[–] hazardous_area 11 points 2 months 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.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I wanna see human exoskeletons on lawns this year.

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

Do blow-molds technically count?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months 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.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago

Analogous structures? I don't even know her!

[–] radicalautonomy 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

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

[–] DamienGramatacus 5 points 2 months ago

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