a crystal basilisk posted:

Not a true basilisk at all, this organic crystalline life form is named for what it does, rather than what it actually is. Properly an 'autonomous semiorganic complex replicator', the Crystal Basilisk is actually a highly cooperative symbiosis of several dozen self replicating living crystal components, each of which function akin to organs within a noncrystalline animal. Laced with reticular crysocules, the equivalent of blood vessels, the whole creature is swiftly mobile due to a powerful semi-organic fluid solvent. By injecting the solvent into structures embedded in the outer shell of the Crystal Basilisk, Pirapods are extruded, sharp shafts and spikes which serve to push and lift the creature, and carry it in a tumbling, end over end 'walk'. Pirapods that are not reabsorbed occasionally break off, especially when the Crystal Basilisk moves rapidly, as in hunting prey. No part of the creature is actually flexible, rather, it uses only the extruded Pirapod spines to push and prod itself along, or to spear unfortunate victims.

The Crystal Basilisk possesses no intelligence, but rather is motivated only by simple electrochemical urges or drives. It is attracted to animal tissue, especially tissue that contains high levels of minerals and metals in solution, and it is repelled by powerful vibration, blunt physical damage sufficient to damage it, and by electric phenomena. It can dwell in most environments, but does not truly thrive in extreme cold, or in extremely arid locations. It may become dormant and hibernate almost indefinitely if there is no source of nutrients to sustain it.

The Crystal Basilisk feeds on the complex chemistry of animal life, and can readily convert both tissues and fluids into the semi-organic mineral solutions it requires. The Crystal Basilisk is a solitary creature, and avoids the company of it's own kind entirely, an evolutionary strategy that serves to maximize the amount of food available to it.

Once every ten or twenty years, the Crystal Basilisk will store up enough reserves to permit attempted reproduction. There is only one reproductive strategy available to the Crystal Basilisk, which is to infect a living animal with a special liquid crystal complex, which will, over a period of several weeks, completely subsume all living tissue and mineral bone. When this is complete, a new Crystal Basilisk is the result. The child will attempt to put as much distance between itself and its parent as possible, and will gradually grow to adulthood, over several centuries. An adult Crystal Basilisk can reach a rough height of 20 feet, and weigh many tons. It can live for up to four centuries, if it is not destroyed. In shape, the main hull of the Crystal Basilisk forms a rough hexagonal-pillar spindle, or hourglass shape, divided by a smaller hexagonal 'waist'. From this main body can protrude any number of Perapod spines. It has no obvious senses or large orifices, but it does possess internal organs and pores which can register vibration, chemistry, atmospheric changes, fluids and vapors, and infra-red and ultra-violet light. It is blind to the visible spectrum.

Last time, on Unicorn Jelly: Lupiko the witch had a visitor who wanted her to come save his daughter.





these two were the adventurers Lupiko had with her when she first ran into Uni



they're gay adventurers

quote:

First up, it is a strange thing to contemplate what is meant by a true, 'steady-state', universe, which is the sort of universe that Unicorn Jelly takes place in. Tryslmaistan had no 'big bang', no origin point, no defined start. It is/as always/was. There is no natural evolution (in the way we know the term) in the Tryslmaistan universe. The advent of humans, however, has set everything on it's collective ear. Vlax acts to mutate earth life, and thus is an engine for the evolution of Red/Green* life, if an odd one. And, as we have seen with KayWai and Uni, some Red/Green life can mutate crystal or White life. This has never happened before, and is unnatural to the entire universe of Tryslmaistan.

Although Tryslmaistan has no evolution, because there is no engine to drive evolution there, it does have a kind of atemporal structural progression in the sum construct of its cosmology. This can be seen in that all White life is based on a common plan, and all versions of it are extentions of that structure. The basic layout of crystal life is a denser shell covering a lighter, fluidic center.
