[β] EggInDisguise@lemmy.blahaj.zone 40 points 1 day ago* (1 child) That is a moopsy. It drinks bones. The thing cowering and having it's bones drunk is a Pyrithean swamp gobbler. Don't worry about them, they only gobble you. It's the moopsy you have to watch out for. Oh, you mean the programming type humor superimposed? No idea. permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] NeatNit@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 23 hours ago (1 child) Thanks, I needed that clarification. But I'm still not super sure what I'm looking at... is the skin in the second panel supposed to belong to the huge dragon in the first panel? It doesn't make sense. Presumably there's a huge body attached to that head, the shapes just don't make sense. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] EggInDisguise@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 22 hours ago Correct. The moopsy has drunk the swamp gobbler's bones, and now with nothing to support the squishy insides, the flesh bag drops and it's unable to move. Presumably they die when their bones are drunk, otherwise it's a painful few minutes or hours as your system shuts down from not having the skeletal support for organs and stuff. It's from a TV show called Star Trek: Lower Decks as the "oh no scary monster is chasing us" plot, and it's cuteness compared to the swamp gobble is just supposed to be funny. In order to demonstrate it's actually the real monster the fovvler cowers away from it before the moopsy jumps on it and basically it deflates like a balloon. permalink fedilink source parent
