Have you had your daily dose of seemingly alien horrors?


This is the Antarctic scale worm, a type of bristle worm. Bristle worms are (primarily) marine invertebrates that have existed since the Cambrian period, roughly 520 million years ago. Bobbit worms are a commonly known species of bristle worm. The image below is a bobbit worm.

I got a couple more for you:

@UndeadPrivateer It's commonly referred to as a hammerhead slug. Although it's actually a type of flatworm. Freaky, for sure!

@caccoon Eek! Cockroaches of the ocean. 😖
UndeadPrivateer · 31-35, M
@Carver Iiinteresting. Very neat.
caccoon · 36-40
Well. Holy fucking shit.
UndeadPrivateer · 31-35, M
@caccoon Relevant pics. Old partly painted pics here because I don't have them at my place right now, my army's still over at my brother's from the last game night we had. The pose specifically modeled after how house centipedes rear up, with their general body layouts made from the perspective of them normally moving with very centipede-like movements using all 8+ of their limbs.


June bugs definitely look like Thomases. 😌

@UndeadPrivateer Those are awesome!! They look so brutal. :D The angry, badass cousins of house centipedes!!
UndeadPrivateer · 31-35, M
@caccoon Yessss. I love them, I need to make a third so I can bring them in as trios of Chaos Spawn. That's a thing for several new game modes in the newest edition that just came out.

I like your hair, Mr. Bristle worm! "I like your hair, too, Eugènie!"
UndeadPrivateer · 31-35, M
@EugenieLaBorgia Cue bristle worm hair flip and wink.
@UndeadPrivateer Bobbit worms are furious with jealousy!
summersong · F
All the nope.
UndeadPrivateer · 31-35, M
@summersong But they're just deep sea worm friends. 😿
summersong · F
@UndeadPrivateer Deep sea nope.
MethDozer · M
@summersong Is there room for one more in that nope?
SW-User

UndeadPrivateer · 31-35, M
@SW-User The Cambrian worm friends love you too. 😌

I’ve posted a picture of that one before, looks like it could take a chunk out of someone. Reminds me of when toddlers get their first teeth.
Some humans would look at that and go, "Hey, I'm hungry!"
UndeadPrivateer · 31-35, M
@lovelywarpedlemon They do look quite juicy. :?
@UndeadPrivateer ahahahah crunchcrunch!! I'm gonna hide in my bed now.
Thanks. Quite beautiful in it's own way. However,I wouldn't want to find one in my sleeping bag!
Gangstress · 41-45, F
Those colours though 😱
UndeadPrivateer · 31-35, M
@Gangstress They're quite impressive colors, yeah, I agree. Those golden bristles on the scale worm and the vibrant colors on bobbits are both quite striking.
Gangstress · 41-45, F
@UndeadPrivateer I've just found about their teeth too. Toxic venom in those bad boys lol
UndeadPrivateer · 31-35, M
@Gangstress Yes! Bristle worms are very commonly venomous. They don't mess around. Some of the most ancient ambush predators in the seas.
SW-User
wtf that gave me goosebumps and a really sick feeling
SW-User
Oh, foul Eldritch creatures! Nice! 😀
UndeadPrivateer · 31-35, M
@SW-User Residents of sunken R'lyeh. 😌
Doomflower · 36-40, M
It's pretty and horrifying
SW-User
...but is it edible?
UndeadPrivateer · 31-35, M
@SW-User I'm pretty sure they have ammonia-based blood, so probably not. Would need to check to be sure though.
SW-User
Thank God, I live in hot places.
That’s amazing!
