An orchestration of limbs straining to touch each other.

People born with multiple sets of arm are very rare. So when they find people like them, they do their best to make a good first impression :> just as Emile did with that six armed babe ✨🥺

One of the many horrors of the Murkwoods, the Tithe Collector is a completely blind amalgam of human limbs. Though it is blind, never make the mistake of looking directly at it for such a mistake could cost you dearly. This is part of the long-running Forgotten Foes series which features creatures considered to be mere myth, if they're remembered at all. If you like this monster, consider paying my Patreon a visit for many more interesting creatures like it!

Transfemoral Monocoque Polyaxial Study

There will never be enough trained medical professionals to meet the global need for prosthetic limbs.  This means that the solution must be digital, must scale exponentially, and must avoid the human bottleneck.This concept leg proved that a complex leg may be created by algorithm and 3D printed, entirely custom per user.  The geometry is based on a contralateral 3D scan, guaranteeing a recreation of body symmetry.   Complex knee and ankle joints are printed integrally at no burden to process or cost. This remains an ongoing project.

When you find out your gf can grow extra limbs (and didn't find it important enough to mention)

Quivering Kilos

The creature also known as the Stringed Maw is the progenitor of all Raw Prophets, but totally lacks any ability to perceive anything rather than pure eustasies of birth - so they run away before crushed under the brood's skinned limbs or drown in endless blood rivers

Here we go, I made it, the 16 grade pure Grail incarnation -- the Quivering Kilos, next stop - Knock or Moth, depends on my mood

Thanx for inspiration, @leggypuppy !
