Spearmaster Speculative Biology Headcanons

This will be long, so I will place my full thoughts under the cut.

Unlike normal spears, Spearmaster’s needles vary in shape and often possess several grooves and differences in structure. On top of that, they are hollow and have a beveled edge near the end to help with both piercing, injection, and sucking out nutrients from prey.

The hollow insides of the needle contain two main chambers. The left (fig. 1B) is connected to an esophagus like organ (fig. 2B) through the strand, while the right (fig. 1A) is connected to a venom bulb (fig. 2C) located in the tail.

Said venom functions like that of a spider’s, as it is actually the first step of the digestive process. Spearmaster’s venom liquifies a small area around the puncture site, allowing them to properly intake several different nutrients from both fat and muscle. Only so much venom can go through each spear, and once the area digested from the venom is sucked away, a new spear must be removed to start the process over again.

Fig. 1C is the main structure of the needles. When being created, venom is pumped through a special tissue on a ring in the tail (fig. 2D), the venom helps push out the tissue as it begins to stretch, flatten its cells, and keratinize.

The needles can be pushed out minimally as a threat display without keratinizing, allowing the unformed needles to shrink back into place. If the needles have already begun to keratinize when shrinking back, the hardened tissue is broken down and absorbed back into the body.

Fig. 2A resembles that of a normal slugcat’s digestive system, with the only notable difference being that the enzymes are noticeably weaker than other carnivorous slugcats, putting a further focus on the need for the venom.

Fig. 2B’s size could be due to the pumping action needed to siphon in nutrients. That, and it can function as a crop if needed, explaining how they can store enough nutrients needed for two cycles.

Aaaaand I think that’s all my thoughts for them atm! I am very tired so maybe I forgot some but yeah.

Also the venom bulb and parts of the needles I sort of based off of a cone snail! Granted, the cone snails harpoons are actually like a tooth! I didnt know how to explain speedy tooth growing though so I didn’t get to do teethmaster :(. Oh well keratinization is fun anyways.

Also There is more rings than just the three pictured but I didn’t want the art to be too cluttered.

[justkillingthyme]

Hello! My name is Thyme or Valerie/Val, and this is my Layton blog!

My school year has started, and so to not Get Killed, I’ll probably be posting less frequently than I used to.

IMPORTANT NOTE: I do not tag spoilers in rbs unless I know a mutual hasn’t seen it (only applies to plvspw right now) I do try to tag general triggers though, and you can request a trigger tag. Currently, that only applies to smoking.

Did you want a master post of every AU I’ve ever done? Cause it’s right here.

My inbox is always open to anyone about anything, and I’ll try to get to it quickly as I can! Also beware that I talk and RB a lot of things (nothing spam without warning though).

My username is the same on TikTok and Discord if you want to add me

My sideblogs under the cut if you’re interested! + more general information about me and my content

@yourthymehascome is my nonpl sideblog

@nothymetospeak is my personal blog. Might complain there sometimes

@thymeisasocialconstruct is my blog for live-blogging games (currently playing Azran Legacy)

@ask-keats-and-co is my Bostonius askblog (not yet active, haven’t done anything with it yet)

@thehandsofthyme is my art blog (RBs of my main account and misc art I’ve done)

A little about me and the blog. Hi! I’m a minor, and I do get pretty anxious about talking with new people, tho I do still usually interact with people that talk to me first. I will always respond to dms, though asks are a little different (I sometimes just forget. Oops). Feel free to say whatever, but I dont reblog nsfw or suggestive things, and I try and keep that kind of content to a minimum while posting. I have said suggestive things before if you scroll back enough, but I do avoid that kind of thing now. Same applies for violence/death/gore and particular topics that I’m unsure of the audience for on my blog. I try and keep this a safe space.

That said, I do talk about canon typical events and I love me a good serving of angst. I’m not super explicit with anything without warning.

If I’m following you but have never interacted or liked your posts, I’m probably talking to you on anon, or rbing with one of my sideblogs. (<there are particular people that I’m nervous to talk to, but that might change).

Some Wawas

Quick Design Notes also:

Gourmand has a shorter and thicker tail than most Scugs simply due to their body shape. Gourmand also has some scars (both prominent and faded if you look closely) since being an explorer, it is inevitable that sometimes things could go a bit awry.

Gourmand Brick Shithouse also real.

Artificer however; she also has a a bunch of faded scars, however unlike Gourmand they are hidden under a thin layer of “fur” (caryophyllidia). Said “fur” actually assists in her explosive properties as well.

Normally, the tip of her tail is blackened with soot and her chest matches the rest of her coloration; however when angry or threatened, her body begins to heat up and glow in response. The stronger the glow the angrier she is.
