yeah they do have them,so do muds and glukkons and sligs,scrabs have females,slogs have females and i think steef have females,and fleetches i think have females

The only species that we know for sure have queens are Mudokons, Glukkons and Sligs. Alf suggested that Slogs have queens, but take anything he said with a grain of salt.

As for Steef, Paramites, Scrabs and Fleeches, we just don't know. Popular fan opinion is that Paramites do have queens, Steef and Scrabs don't, and Fleeches are just ewww.


EDIT: I'm not sure how much credence we're putting in Matt Lee these days, but he says that Paramites do have a queen and Scrabs don't.

Paramites just hiss on others.
Scrabs just eat others.

MeechMunchie 04-10-2011 12:19 PM

If we do associate Paramites with termites, a queen would seem logical. And I hope so, because a Paramite king would be really cool.*

Fleeches are supposed be mutants and/or genetic experiments, so I think the less said about their production (as opposed to reproduction) the better.

*Apart from all the nasty Paramite sex they'd have to have. Ewww. I bet there'd be web everywhere.

I never saw any connection between paramites and termites. Indeed, what paramites used to make me think of were those microscopic parasite things with all the legs and spiky faces.

MeechMunchie 04-10-2011 01:13 PM

Bacteriophage?

errrm wtf ? it kinda looks like a mutant sperm :-/

Gwan-Thwei 04-10-2011 01:49 PM

@elums mum yes, yes it does.
I thought of meeches like dinosaurs, with the incubation and everything.

Which arises another question...do you think scrabs lay eggs?

elums mum 04-10-2011 01:55 PM

I always thought Meeches were like dinosaurs too. Kinda like velociraptors or something. Well Scrabs always seemed kinda reptilain to me so i'd say they lay eggs, i'd say Paramites lay eggs too because spiders do and they're pretty huge giant spiders.

MeechMunchie 04-10-2011 01:56 PM

I heard somewhere that Meeches were like hyenas.

I expect Paramites hatch from egg-filled cocoons. We saw enough of them in the Paramonian Temple.

Gwan-Thwei 04-10-2011 01:57 PM

I always pictured scrabs reproducing like deer, for some reason. I have no idea why.

And if paramites are like termites/spiders, does that mean they might have venom too? Cause that'd be freaky.

elums mum 04-10-2011 02:04 PM

I can oddly see that...

You sick bitch.

Gwan-Thwei 04-10-2011 02:09 PM

@enchilado LOL

...what about fuzzles? how the hell do they do anything, for that matter?

elums mum 04-10-2011 02:14 PM

Maybe like gremlins ? you get em wet and balls of fluff fly out of thier backs ?

enchilado 04-10-2011 02:15 PM

Fuzzles are just big, bouncy reproductive organs completely covered with pubic hair.

Gwan-Thwei 04-10-2011 02:20 PM

Kind of like you, eh?

elums mum 04-10-2011 03:20 PM

So a Fuzzle is technically a testicle?

enchilado 04-10-2011 03:26 PM

Fuzzle in the breeding season:

Oh god...
I think I threw up in my mouth a little bit.

elums mum 04-12-2011 11:19 AM

I think we all did ...

Who do you reckon would win a fight A pack of fuzzles or a pack of Paramites?

Gwan-Thwei 04-12-2011 04:06 PM

Hmm, that's a toughie. It would depend on the numbers of both fuzzles and paramites, and whether it was just the regular fuzzles, or the rabid fuzzles.
Either way it's be a good fight.

Kinto 04-13-2011 02:12 PM

it's been to long since i've checked this ... it went from scrabs vs paramites, to furry testicles with teeth

Gwan-Thwei 04-13-2011 02:32 PM

Yes. Threads about wildlife usually turn this way.
Dun worry. Threads have turned worse. this one's going pretty well.

Crashpunk 04-21-2011 02:08 PM

Meep Vs. Slurg.

Mr. Bungle 04-21-2011 04:00 PM

Elum vs. Scrab.

Elum wins against all.

Paramites are awesome no doubt, but they suck when it comes down to just being 1 Paramite. Then again even though they run away when their alone with another creature, if the creature gets closer, they own them.

WAT

On topic: The elum probably would have an advantage, because I saw them as more brawn than brains. It'd be a good fight, I'd pay to see it.

Hulaabeo 05-01-2011 06:13 PM

Sea Rex vs Snoozer. Whom would win?

Gwan-Thwei 05-01-2011 06:32 PM

SEA REX FTW!

Sleg vs Slog.
