Speculative biology is simultaneously a science and form of art in which one speculates on the possibilities of life and evolution. What could the world look like if dinosaurs had never gone extinct? What could alien lifeforms look like? What kinds of plants and animals might exist in the far future? These questions and more are tackled by speculative biologists, and the Speculative Evolution welcomes all relevant ideas, inquiries, and world-building projects alike. With a member base comprising users from across the world, our community is the largest and longest-running place of gathering for speculative biologists on the web.

While unregistered users are able to browse the forum on a basic level, registering an account provides additional forum access not visible to guests as well as the ability to join in discussions and contribute yourself! Registration is free and instantaneous.

This is a topic on all the worlds of Nintendo, Konami, and Sega. We will look at the biology, evolutionary history, and then post drawings of possible real-life versions of these characters. This is in the Habitable Zone, because alot of these characters are aliens.

Hmmm... the evolutionary history of Popstar? Sounds fun.

It looks to me that most of the organisms on the planet evolved from a fairly short stocky bipedal herbivore. Think of how many of the normal enemies you fight at least closely resemble this? There were obviously other organisms to evolve to fill other niches, like giant birds taking to the air that you can see in some levels, but let's focus on this Xeno-Lamna group. I think Xeno-Lamna means 'alien feeding frenzy', but I'm to lazy to check.

Kirby and metaknight's biology are different, despite being the same species, maybe explanable. Less look at it like a sort of lifestyle. A species of sea-slug ingests cells of some poisonous species and use their cells to grow their poisonous appendages on their backs, effectively taking over their ability through ingestion. Maybe this species has characteristics similar to this, but evolved the ability to do so to a wider-range of organisms and their natural defenses.

If we assume this we can come to the basic idea that Kirby, being a child, is the infant form of this organism. They devour organisms for the purpose of developing their characteristics and spit them out, they try out different organisms to see which fits their environement the best, before settling on one and perfecting it, like Metaknight has with swords.

Now, the reason why Kirby eats more can be explained by this behavior and I think this has explained a decent life-style for the organism.

*Shrugs* no ideas come to mind. Well, I already mentioned there were giant bird-like organisms there, right? Well maybe an island somewhere they lost flight and developed intelligence before the Popstars did. No idea why.

Awsome job Temporary you did amazing.

And FakePokemon64 I have a thing for you below.

1: If your going to start or prolong a Topic and your the current source of info or dicesions and the topic needs more explaining then you explain it wether it is in your prefered forum or not(the division of the forums has been decided as not happening). this forum is as close as your getting to a "Game/Pop Culture forum" for this particular topic so deal with it.

I am not trying to be mean just get some sense into him.

Atek Thanks, glad you like! Though, I still say Kirby is just Pacman and princess Peach's love child. Also, I was thinking about his lung power, maybe it isn't that strong, but the animals are made of something lighter then carbon or aren't that dense?

Fake Pokemon And listen to Atek, he's right. I couldn't really tell from your first post what you wanted, it started as an explanation on how to draw the little guy then you asked how plausible he was (not sure if you meant his biology or evolution, I assumed evolution. I didn't read a lot of the thread, so I took a guess).

Anyway, what about other video game characters? Take Toad from Mario, some sort of symbiosis between a small closely related human species, like the infamous 'hobbit', and a fungus? Or some sort of camoflouge? Then the lizard guy (who's name escapes me), probably a dinosaur that never went extinct and evolved a chameleon like tounge, but maybe something else.

Your welcome.

And I am glad I said the right thing to Fakemon64(thats abreviated) I was afraid I might have been to mean sounding or something.

As for those others I think they need their own topic, Maybe called "Minispecies from games"?

We could just change the topic name of this one, I mean, this would qualify as part of it.

Temporary, I started with how to draw Kirby because that's how most of the Kirby games start off. Also that's a good idea. Combine all Nintendo universe speculation in this topic.

If you're including ALL Nintendo worlds, then we should probably merge our Pokemon speculation into here. Should we make Pokemon an option on the poll?

In the end, the best advice I could give you would be to do your project in a way that feels natural to you, rather than trying to imitate some geek with a laptop in Colorado.

El squibbonator pleas do something about the double post.

And what the heck are all those things in the pole I think I know about five and that is limated.

Also maybe add things like Sonic and Metroid(this is how I am going to learn about them)?

And one more thing(jackie chan adventures refference)! The Pokemon topic is to big it would either drowned this one or loose alot of the stuff in it.

Is there a way to delete double posts?
By the way, I just figured that, since Pokemon is technically a Nintendo series too, it belongs here.

You have a good point and months ago I would have agreed but the pokemon topic has developed to much now, so in my opinion it should stay seperate.
