    This is not even the most bizarre.

    Remoraid -> Octillery is the most bizarre shit that cannot even be explain by mythology. The vaguest shit that can explain this line is the gun to cannon and you really need to force a lot to see Remoraid as a gun.

      Maybe they’re like starfish, which mature from bilaterally symmetrical larvae into many-limbed adults?

      Note how the adult starfish body starts out like an organ in the larva and then grows as the rest of the larva is absorbed.

      Fun fact: vertebrates are descended from echinoderms - our ancestors were larvae that acquired the ability to reproduce without developing into adults. So if you’re feeling like something is missing from your life but you don’t know exactly what it is, consider the possibility that you subconsciously long to transform into your true adult form, which would look something like this:

      Oh to be a sessile filter feeder!

        I heard somewhere that the adult starfish is just the head. Imagine being a face and only a face, scrunching along the seafloor.

      I agree you with on those, it’s pretty wacky. You should see the beta designs if you haven’t already, it makes it a lot clearer:

      beta remoraid, more clearly inspired by a revolver

      beta octillery, more clearly resembling a tank
