Pink crab spider, Thomisus onustus, Thomisidae

Despite the common name, this species exhibits a wide range of coloration including pink, white, yellow, green, brown, or a combination of any of those. Like other flower crab spiders, they are able to change their color over a matter of days to more closely match their environment. Found in Eurasia and northern Africa.

Sandwing backs are really freckly with a wide range of shades which mimic sand so they can camouflage when looked down on from above.

#I like to think they bury themselves like a six eyed sand spider #both to ambush prey and also to hide from predators themselves #the tendons in their tail are really stiff that don’t allow for a lot of movement so they tend to bury themselves near big pieces of-#-driftwood so they can press their tail up against it to make it look like it’s part of the wood #so generally sandwings mainbody is more sandcolored and their tails are darker browns for theog camouflage #the tail muscles are stiff so there’s not a lot of movement possible outside of the usual strike #Kos speaks #wof #wings of fire #wof sandwing #sandwing

I think if an archotech died it would be like a predatory whale fall. The power archotechs hold is simply too much for a mortal to handle without being elevated to a similar level of consciousness as the dead archotech, and making the logical decision to rejoin the pieces and bring the archotech back to life, the would be scavengers adding their own minds to its mass in the process. Like if a whale died and as the creatures dug into its guts they got tangled so tightly it was no longer possible to determine where they ended and the whale began, eventually their organs stir the whale back to life, ready to rejoin its podmates

#rimworld #i watched the curious archives video on dead gods in media and this came to me #necrotic camouflage: a predatory tactic in which a predator dies to invite decomposers. only to incorporate them into its body.

What if yautja were just really colourful?

[image id: two drawings of a bright, asymmetrically coloured yautja, mandibles extended, shown from the right and left side, from the torso up. End id.]

#ct-oe art #yautja #my art #its an idea that I keep coming back to #like the bewilderingly bright razzle dazzle camouflage designs found in nature #not sure what the exact name of it is #but I think some beetles do it #like imagine what could they be hiding from?#predator

wanted to voice my appreciation for how angular machete is, and how he gets even more angular when he's displeased

He's a little bit like that one owl that gets pointy when threatened.

#a northern white faced owl to be specific #it evades predators by camouflaging as a broken tree branch #answered #amiliahthebengal #it's the scowl that gets me

i'm thinking more about it, and bronwyn doesn't typically scope out her own " clients. " since meeting helena, the dryad acts as a middleman for any possible deals, which is why she runs an inn, a medical practice, etc. in whatever town they settle in. people love to talk in such places, and they love to talk to helena. while a beauty, she is far less intimidating than bronwyn tends to be. it's one part their differing personalities and one part bronwyn's predatory aura.

it isn't just a feeling brought on by her behavior and demeanor -- it's something she exudes as a valravn. those who spend a length of time around her eventually become used to it and don't notice it much, but the raven does give off a feeling of danger to all those who approach her. meeting her will feel more like you're meeting a hungry lion rather than a normal woman. this is yet another reason she spends time in town rather than remaining at home; the locals are less likely to figure out what she is if they get used to her aura.

still, if one never becomes close with bronwyn, it'll be hard to shake the feeling that something is slightly off about her.

#bronwyn is a predator with really nice camouflage but a predator nonetheless!#though maybe? maybe she's able to suppress her aura since she does have magic but ehhhh i might not do that #people have to have some way of knowing she's dangerous :' )#headcanons | bronwyn #may i just say i'm having a grand ol' time thinking about bronwyn's lore by the way :' ))) bc i am :' )))
