#Kui making monsters so 'grounded' while also being fantastical creatures is great

I've been thinking about it for a bit (and it's probably obvious) but did you notice the giant frog and the tentacles are basically clown fish and anemones? I only realized once someone pointed out to me that the giant frogs have clown fish colors.
And then I realized the tentacles are also classified as "anthozoa" in the AB which is the the class anemones are a part of
The comment about nematocysts is also how it works for anemones, Kui draws a pretty cool graph of how it works too (a little different real ones but conveys the idea well)
I just always thought that was a pretty cool detail that I missed for a while! It's very cool how inspired by real animals Ryoko Kui's monsters are, I'm always amazed by how much sense they make.
#idk how obvious it was to other people especially after the anime where their colors are pretty obvious but I'm bad at paying attention ok#Kui making monsters so 'grounded' while also being fantastical creatures is great#Dungeon Meshi#Monsters#Giant Frog#Tentacles#dunmeshi thoughts#clown fish#anemone#anthozoa#monster design
