Just Beat Shagaru Magala. This game is amazing

(sry for the poor camera quality and weird angle, I was rushing to get a photo before time ran out)

I love the story, Gore was a great rival and I'm excited for future fights. The game is telling me to go to dundorma but I heard there's actually high rank quests you should do beforehand so can anyone explain to me how that works?

Should I Skip AT-Nergigante?

I beat the game a few weeks ago abut feel Like I've been in a slump and the game doesn't feel as satisfying and fufilling as it used to be. I want to start Iceborne but there are so many monsters I have yet to kill (Leshen, Lunastra, Giant Kulu, etc.) and AT is the one I tried to focus on killing since i farmed Base Nergi so much. I've been told I should do the AT elders before iceborne because if I do them now, it's actually a challenge whereas with master rank gear it'll have no challenge. AT nergi has given me nothing but misery, I don't feel like I'm improving and I'm wondering If I fell off.

Josuke Higashiikata (JoJolion)

Like he just looks so cool while also having a really simple design but the sailor design being comprised mostly of white is very telling as he starts off as a blank canvas but white also represents innocence and hope, perfectly contrasting the villains of the story mostly wearing black

What is the biggest design downgrade in your opinion

To me, og Rodan was an awesome design. The sharp brow ridges shading his eyes made him look so menacing and for the time, and the wings were convincing enough that I was able to suspend my disbelief about it being a man in a suit.

But then he comes along in Ghidorah, and now suddenly has big googly eyes, thick sleeve-like bits on his wings making the suitmation glaringly obvious. I find his beak much worse too, the downward pointing always makes it look like he has this goofy, smug expression.

[Loved Trope]Character gets what they want in the worst way possible

Diavolo (JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Vento Aureo) uses his ability King Crimson to avoid death or any bad things that come his way. Ultimately, he gets beat by GER and now will never die, being forced in an infinite number of scenarios, receiving a deadly fate that will undo and place him in a new situation.

Denji (Chainsaw Man) is desperate to get a girl and Makima (a walking red flag) tells him if he kills the gun devil, she'll grant any wish he wants. Naturally, Makima pulls some strings to turn Denji's father figure into a host for the gun devil, leetting Denji accomplish Makima's request but is oviously miserable over losing another one of his loved ones. Why did Makima do this? To crush Denji's dreams and lure out Pochita, who she claims as the true chainsaw man.

Makima (Chainsaw Man) had the primary goal of using Pochita to erase all of humanity's struggles and create a dream-like world but also would love to be eaten by Chainsaw Man/Pochita, her hero as it's the ultimate honor in her books. Instead of the Hero of Hell, she's eaten by Denji, the imposter chainsaw man, the boy who couldn't possibly reach the heights of Pochita. After all of this, she died by somebody she viewed as nothing more than an annoying variable and is now eaten by Denji, showing he's now the true chainsaw man.

The Monkey's paw is basically the grandfather of this trope, I mostly included it to avoid the "Bat-themed heroes" image.

[OC] Corses (Cutticrasasaurus Nanus): Domestic Dinos

(I've been a fan of Spec Evo for years but this is my first serious attempt)

Evolutionary History:

The Cutticrasasaurus Nanus or Modern Corse comes from a long line of evolutionary history originating with Ankylosaurids that became isolated on an island in the hell creek formation, causing them to adopt a smaller build with more generalist diet with roots as their main source of calories but also capable of eating bark, leaves, fruit, insects and small invertebrates.

Because of their small generalist biology, these mini-ankylosaurs were some of the lucky few to survive the K-Pg extinction event and became widespread across the Americas during the Paleogene but with the ice sheets covering most of north America, most populations were found concentrated in central and South America. This lead to the development of the modern Cutticrasasaurus Nanus with certain subspecies like Aridus and Silva.

The arrival of humans led to the beginning of the domestication. Many groups exploring the continent found the small reptiles to be quite useful for defending against predators or any enemies. They were selectively bred to be friendly and cooperative but still have great defending capabilities.

During the conquest of the americas, various European settlers were fascinated by the Cutticrasasaurus, namely Spain and Portugal. Due to their Armoured appearance they were dubbed "La Corazá" ('The Breastplate', 'The Armour') which eventually got shortened to just "Coraza". Many dead and live specimens were brought back to Spain to be further observed. since many found the creature intersting, more and more of them were brought back and bred as pets, common among nobles and royalty in the Mediterranean. which led to further domestication

During the 1700s, they were brought to England where their name was anglicised and eventually became the modern "Corse" which became adopted due to their Coarse and Rugged appearance due to their armour. They were misclassified as a distant relative of turtles for over 180 years until their resemblance to ankylosaurus was noticed and changed classification.

Today, Corses are now viewed as a stubborn, high maintenance pet with specific breeds and even shows.

Their natural range spans from the Mojave desert in California to the Pampas in northern argentina, mostly sticking to warm or arid locations but also living in subtropical grasslands and on the edges of rainforests. Invasive populations are also found in Spain, Morroco and various locations throughout the Mediterranean.

Biology and Behaviour:

Corses are heavy and bulky Ankylosaurids with osteoderms covering their back, resembling turtle shells more than ankylosaurs scutes. They have thick legs and most breeds have long muscular tails, ending in a club. They have sharp, stout and thick beaks perfects for crushing seeds or roots.

Corses are stubborn pets, spending most of their days basking in the sun or digging in soil, searching for tubers. When scared or threatened they have the threat of striking with their tail but slowly will warm up to their owners and even form deep attachments. If raised from hatchling though, they will immediately imprint upon the owner.

The wild Aridus subspecies is notably social among its kind, forming small herds in the deserts consiting of 4-8 adult individuals on average. The Silva subspecies don't form large groups but instead strong, monogamous bonding pairs as After reaching maturity, they will leave their family to find a mate for life.

They mainly communicate in chirps and shrieks. Softer chirps signal comfort or excitment while louder ones are signalling the individual wants food or attention. Loud shrieks signal stress or fear.

As ornithischians, they are Mesotherms and will spend most of the time lying in warm spots in the sun to keep internal temperature.

Corses also have strong digging insicts to build nests or more commonly to find food. A common sign there are Corses in your area are sloped, shallow holes found in the earth.

Various breeds of corse exist but the 3 most common are:
- Coraza: A work breed seen as close as you can get to owning a wild Corse, they are mostly found in the southwestern united states and Mexico as working animals for livestock protection. During the summer months where many farmers fear heat stress on dogs, they instead use Coraza to help defend and warn the animals of predators.

- Pocket: Mostly a cosmetic or aesthetic breed, they are seen as more classy and cute do to being the smallest of all breeds, being light enough to be held in the arms of their owners but due to a low gene pool among pure-bred individuals, underlying health issues are common such as injuries due to a weaker and thinner osteoderms or respiratory issues due to smaller nasal cavities from a shorter skull. They are prone to overstimulation and aggressive behaviour too.

- Amber: The most "beginner friendly" and social. Being bred from Aridus subspecies means they are already highly social and bond easily. They are named as such due to their yellow-to-brown colouration rather than the earthy greens of other breeds. While still somewhat stubborn, they will stick more closely to their owners. Still not recommended as a first pet though.

Care guide:

Corses are to be regularly fed a mixed diet of roots for carbs; berries for vitamins and sugars; and insects for protein. While it is possible to make a feed from a mix of these, it's more often than not recommended to instead get Corse Pellets from any pet store in your area as they are dehydrated pellets made from a mash of these ingredients. You can use large dog bowls to feed them but if possible, it's recommended to buy a pit, fill it with loose soil or sand and hide pellets in it to encourage digging behaviour while preventing them from instead digging in other locations.

They are best suited to live in warm, preferably dry climates but can manage temperate areas as long as there's a way for them to keep warm during the winter.

They are recommended as an outdoor pet as their digging and rugged morphology causes them to damage furniture. Owners should be made aware of the digging as well so they should not be given access to any gardens but without anywhere to dig, they will resort to trying to dig through concrete or wood, risking damaging the area or hurting themsleves.

It is not recommended to have wild corses as pets and you should instead get them from a trusted breeder. If there is a wild corse in your area though, notify your local animal services for relocation.
