Here is how to get the Commerson Dolphin:
When the game says: you have to take a picture of the Lonely Corralite, it actually means take a picture of a Dolphin 3 times, it's a bug. But, the Narwhal counts as a Dolphin! That's how I got my Commerson Dolphin. I'm not sure though because I was just snapping pics of my Narwhal next to my Lonely Corralite.
I'm thinking of adding a new race of semi-aquatic humanoids based on marine mammals (dolphins/toothed whales specifically) to my setting, and I wonder how well cetacean traits would translate into creatures with a relatively humanoid body plan (with appropriate changes).
For context, here are some general traits that this proposed race would have.
- They take after different species depending on climate. For example, "Warm-water" individuals resemble various dolphin species from that climate (common, bottlenose, etc), while those from colder areas might resemble Orcas or commerson's dolphins.
- They have a humanoid, not sirenoid (I made this term up; refers to merfolk body types) body plan.
- Bodies are adapted for swimming, but aren't designed to be fully aquatic (e.g. swimmer body type, flippered extremities).
- Might give them Blowholes, but I'm unsure if that translates well into a humanoid.
Resources, answers, critiques, etc. would be appreciated.
Water Line- Based on commerson’s dolphins, freedivers, and wetsuits (might try to draw this line).
Porflip (Porpoise+Flip)- Acrobatic Pokemon
Appearance: A navy blue, sleek baby dolphin with a white “goggle pattern” and a white oval on its chest
Dolphom (Dolphin+Fathom)- Diver Pokemon
Appearance: A long, dolphin-like Pokemon with a similar color scheme, but the underside of the face is white. The fins are angular and resemble diving flippers/blades.
Delphyss (Delphinidae+Abyss)-Cetacean Pokemon
Appearance: A more robust, but sleek dolphin-like Pokémon with bladelike fins and a rudder-like tail. The color scheme is slightly more blue (but still dark). The fins are black/navy blue except for white tips. Also has a while line outlining its body to the tail.
Second type unknown.
Grass-Based on Opossums, explorers, and Indiana Jones/Adventurers
Marsupup (Marsupial+Pup)
Appearance: A dark green baby Opossum with pine needle-like fur and a long tail.
Oposcout (Opossum+Scout)
Appearance: A pine green/brown bipedal Opossum. Its tail is longer and has a hooked end. The ears go out to the side to look like an “explorer hat”.
Intreposs (Intrepid-Brave+Possum)
Appearance: A burly, bipedal Opossum with the same forest green/brown color scheme. Its fur is longer and resembles a jacket. Its tail is a bit thicker, and is used as a grapple/whip. Has the same “hat” ears.
Maybe Grass/Ground or Fighting?
I don’t have a fire yet, but the theme is adventurers/explorers (Water is a diver dolphin while grass is a typical treasure hunter/adventurer)
The funeral director was asking us what we think Mum should wear in her casket.
Mum always loved to wear sarongs (fabric wraps that go around the torso and drape downward a bit like a long skirt would), so my uncle suggested that she wear a sarong in there.
The funeral director looked a bit confused, as did some of our family members, to which my uncle added:
"What's sarong with that?"
I started laughing like an idiot. He was proud of it too. The funeral director was rather shocked. We assured her, and our more proper relatives, that Mum would've absolutely loved the joke (which is very true).
His delivery was perfect. I'll never forget the risk he took. We sometimes recall the moment as a way help cushion the blows of the grieving process.
--Edit-- I appreciate the condolences. I'm doing well and the worst is behind me and my family. But thanks :)
--Edit-- Massive thanks for all the awards and kind words. And the puns! Love 'em.
I would have a daughter
But Bill kept the Windows
True story; it even happened last night. My 5-year-old son walks up behind me and out of the blue says, "hey."
I turn to him and say, "yeah, kiddo? What's up?"
He responds, "it's dead grass."
I'm really confused and trying to figure out what's wrong and what he wants from me. "What? There's dead grass? What's wrong with that?"
.
.
.
He says, totally straight-faced, "hay is dead grass," and runs off.
And then you will all be sorry.
Now it’s syncing.
He replied, "Well, stop going to those places then!"
She said how do you know he was headed to work?
I will find you. You have my Word.
“thank you for your cervix.”
Made me smile
Mods said I'm a cereal reposter...
But now I stand corrected.
Wait. Sorry, wrong sub.
