was drawing some ideas on Marcille's chimera form, as per usual.
and so we have these:
Now for some extras:
I think in Laios's design, he'd stick true to his desire to become far from human. So him being a sort of monster imposter fits really well in my head
For the question regarding how we would eat, I like thinking his human mouth kind of acts as like those second airways snakes have so they don't suffocate when they're swallowing down food. That said, he would still eat with his human mouth for smaller things, but could and would eat with his wyrm mouth.
Since y'all really like my last theory (thanks for over 1,000 notes btw lol), have another one.
I think we've all seen that Izutsumi prefers to sleep with Chilchuck because he's very warm. A cat's body temperature is usually around 100 F, so it would make sense for her to keep herself warm with the warmest member. In the last panel, we can see that Chilchuck is uncomfortable warm from Izutsumi cuddling him, but why is that?
Well, smaller animals generally produce and expel more body heat than bigger animals. Most rodents like rats (99.85 F), rabbits (100-105 F), and squirrels (99-101 F) generally have a body temperature that's hotter than humans. All of these rodents are prey animals.
To go a long with that rodent comparison, I'd like to compare Chilchuck's ears to rodent ears. Chilchuck's ears are about 1/3 the size of his head, which is quite large. But the reasoning for his big ears (besides his good hearing) could be to release heat. Plenty of rodents and desert animals usually have big ears to release heat quicker so they can stay cool.
more Dungeon Meshi in Wind Waker style! (first part)
I like the idea that Link could stumble on Laios's party in dungeons, maybe after the miniboss, and they offer you a meal that replenishes your health, sort of like Yeto from TP! You could take some with you in a bottle like grandma's soup. There could be a funny interaction if you show Marcille a joy pendant, and she thinks it's really pretty until Laios and Senshi tell her it's actually a treasure bug.
no wonder why laios and marcille are so keen on saving falin. have you seen this girl there’s nothing wrong with her. this is the girl you’d go to war for and spin her around once you come back
waited impatiently and finally i can post my chimken falins
my WIFE i love her SO!
btw (since im likely to want to post spoilers eventually BAHAHA) if i post any manga spoilers from this point onward i will be tagging them with "dungeon meshi spoilers" !! please block that tag if you're an anime-only and would like to avoid me spoiling you by accident on how the story goes -- i've read the entire manga so there's a lot i can accidentally spoil 💀
also bonus chimera laios because i CAN and i WANTED TO ! ! ! he'd be happy about it
