Sporemonster Spotting, Part 6 ~ Mystery Guest Star

Bonus nerd points to anyone who guesses what this is:



Yes, I put it together in Spore, but it’s not my idea—even more nerd points if you know who created him!

Here, I’ll give you a hint.



For the record, I am feeling Much Better. Still a bit dehydrated, but at least I can now be reasonably assured that I can put fluids in my stomach and they’ll stay there long enough to do their job. Improvement!

That hint makes me suspect ... a Pierson's Puppeteer?!

Pierson's Puppeteer!

HAHA I am glad someone knows the name. I was all "Holy crap it's that merchant-y cowardlike species where the brain is in the hump so it can literally talk to itself what the fuck was it called."

Sadly, I only know it because I read, obsessively, my copy of Barlowe's Guide to Extraterrestrials as a wee tot.

Piersen's Puppeteer! Oh man, haven't read that book in ages...

Ah-hahaha! Rad! I'm reading Larry Niven's latest Ring World related book right now. It's co-authored by this Edward somethingorother guy, and Nessus is one of the key characters in it. I don't think it's really a prequel to Ringworld but it takes place well before it.

And for the record in this journal, Puppeteers call themselves Citizens.

A friend of mine spent *days* until he managed to build a puppeteer to his specifications. Not like we're geeks or anything...

In addition to Puppeteer's, I've created Kzinti as well.

Niven of course. ;)

Obviously I need to get the fuck off the intertubes, because my first reaction was: ". . . Goatse?"

Edited AGAIN because FUCK IT I GIVE UP

A Pushmi-Pullyu from Dr. Dolittle?

Beautiful -- I've checked out the website. Very nice.

Hey, isn't that one of Larry Niven's species? I forget what they're called, but it was in the Ringworld books.
