Post alien looking species

The Tongue-Eating Louse

Something out of Chordata. Tunic maybe?

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyura_chilensis
It's a kind of tunicate. Often referred to as a "living rock."

Yep. Some sort of tunicate -- aka Sea Squirt.

Sea Pigs would seem to qualify.

velvet worms are spoopy desu

I want to bite that thing's head off like a gummy worm.

they taste pretty bad

How do you know?

its a fucking worm

In some parts of the world they eat crickets. Why not a worm?

Lost.

>In some parts of the world they eat crickets.

Because they're so poor they have to eat insects. No first world country consumes insects as a delicacy.

Chelsea "Clinton"

idk, I've heard people say it's good. Maybe we're missing out by being too prissy to eat bugs.

KEEEK

Are insects such as these inherently horrifying and ugly, or is it just a method our brain evolved to help us avoid them in the past at a primal level?

What would it be like to see through the veil and experience reality unfiltered and unafraid? Would we see beauty in such a creature?

Looking at it now, I can tell there is complexity and a sort of sophistication of the organism that lends it an air of significance, but I can't say it's aesthetically pleasant.

Beauty is subjective you shitlord

>insects
I don't think you referred to a single insect in your post.
And as said, different people find different things aesthetically pleasing. There are a lot of insects I could look at for hours, but I have no idea how people can look at Chihuahuas and not think of an oversized rat.

are those feathers?

this. But disgust for these things are so deeply engrained in human nature that you can say that for all reasons and purposes, they're "inherently" disgusting.

Imagine swimming around in the ocean when something brushes your leg, and when you look down, that shit stares back at you.

this is some zerg shit

they're monstrously strong, as well. People have had them sneak into their aquariums from being burrowed in the rocks and only discovered them when all their fish started vanishing overnight.

...

what the?

The whole stinkhorn family of fungi is pretty alien looking.

Beautiful

They're pretty neat. My mushroom gathering slows down a lot in winter but here's some photos for you.

So much disgusting shit in here man. I think I'm going to puke.

have a slime mold on your way out

I don't feel fear from these things at all though. It's just revulsion/disgust.

My favourite is clathrus archeri. When i was little, i was scared of alien invasion when i first found it in a nearby forest (it was rarein my location then).

amblypyids are friend-tier

Beautiful.

what would happen if you ate it?

you would probably just throw up from the smell
plenty of stinkhorn eggs are edible before they develop the slime
