My one pet peeve with way people do worldbuilding for rainworld is everything is always 'eh its a purposed organism thing' for anything like slightly cool and out there. You dont get just how WEIRD evolution can get. Imagine how weird it could get with evolution backed by a bunch of guys also throwing things together generations ago. There are ants that explode on command as a defense mechanism and lizards that can fire slime blasts from their tails in REAL LIFE, is "they made this bug electric on purpose" the best you can do. No they did something fucked up to a bug a billion years ago and now its extra fucked up

#purposed organism stuff works best for extreme alt variations on existing organisms like spearmaster is #but most purposed organisms from the past have probably evolved so significantly the purposed part is relatively minor #like slugcat are implied to be the ancestor of some pathetic little pipe cleaning slug #so assuming natural evolution theyve gained limb use #social behaviors and fairly high intellect #thats a big evolutionary gap #what does remain is all the fucked up mecha beasts which appears to at least be implied to be like #organic metal. if that makes sense
