Now that the dust has settled, did dunkchuds learn to cope with picrel or did they move onto basedfacing over other marine life?
>>4786187Wait so they were bite sized after all? Kinda sucks
>>4786187I was never really disappointed with the downscale. The skull is the only real draw it has. All the tanky and downright odd design choices they usually display with were wishful thinking to begin with.
>>4786196I actually like the short chunky version more, I think the stubby body nicely underlines the machine-like proportions of the head.
>>4786187That's still a pretty fucking big fish
>>4786187/an/ still has yet to show me one fish that has ever had these body proportions. Long dunk still my pick
>>4786254Sorry, the Science is settled.
>>4786187Now I like it more, and I believe the main attraction for Dunkling has always been the head/skull
the downscale doesn't stand under scrutiny
>>4786187I still firmly believe it was the janky illustration used that turned most people off. Because it looks mildly acceptable in almost every other place except the original paper.
>>4786187>this is your brain on evolution.

>>4786254Piranha
>>4786254Salmon shark
>>4786392Pelegiac brainless retard that eats plastic bags regularly >>4786401Relatively small scavenger revolved a thick body as not to be water by the 900 other fish that are bigger than it in the Amazon. >>4786403Needs to regulate them, easier to do with more mass None of these explain why an apex predator, that needs to catch its prey, would be built like a fucking blood parrot. I recognize that fish were probably much slower that early on, but cmon. Water physics still wired the same.
>>4786254grouper
>>4786403little buddy :D
>>4786403What a wimpy looking creature
>>4786254this is such a bizarre way to think
>>4786461dunks were obviously scavengers. all the evidence points to that basic fact.
>>4786187Why did they make the skull smaller even tho it has been known for years?
>>4786652I wouldn't call it thinking exactlybut it is weird enough that you can ID the person expressing it every time. Like a toddler trying to argue with grownups. Too dumb to realize what he's doing wrong.
>>4786461>None of these explain why an apex predator, that needs to catch its prey, would be built like a fucking blood parrotThe one from the paper is just weirdly shaped and unstreamlined for some reason. Something like a tuna-dunk would be more realistic
