      They took on humanoid forms not to terrify any of the locals especially Steven. Like think of that scene with the mailman but instead of a giant beautiful woman it's this ELDRITCH HORROR coming out of the water motto motto style.

    Non-organic life is easily one of the strangest options to work with, particularly solid-light bodies, which are really the most radical adaptation and evolutionary path so far. To make such a form possible, it must be very flexible. It really takes advantage of physics, which is barely theorized, which makes a lot of this extremely speculative but very fascinating.
    Gem production methods from the show world were well adapted to reproduction since the local variations would result in mutations that evolution would require. Plus, with their civilization developing, more artificial methods of reproduction could be the more stable but less powerful ones that are seen between generations in Steven Universe. Their mimicking ability would allow them to take on more humanoid forms after meeting them to use other species' physiology to adapt their own form, which means that they can also undergo a kind of evolution by meeting and copying other species. Which would make them have a notable interest in exploration and meeting other species
    I think I would have gone for magnetic fields and Van der Waals forces to assemble matter into simple limbs that can then be directed, but that would, unfortunately, have required them to have a diet of dust and magnetically usable materials instead of being able to recover from just light.
    Edit: also, as a suggestion based on the previous two, you could do the Trolls from Homestuck to take on another LGBTQ+ friendly series that will probably give the physics lab another research project thanks to their psychic powers (though the big anniversary for the series is April 13) They also had on the biological grounds a weird life cycle involving symbiosis with multiple species and, a caste system connected to differences in blood color, for some physiological weirdness.

    I was not expecting the Gems to be given the Treatment, caught me completely by surprise! But nonetheless, you did a great job making them realistic, but also faithful to the Show. Steven Universe is a really good show, and has a lot of colorful characters (pun not intended). And what better character to represent a diverse extraterrestrial race, than Garnet herself! She's one of the most iconic characters in the show. I look forward to seeing what other creature is gonna get the speculative treatment, especially if they're gonna involve the use of quantum physics. The use of physics and quantum mechanics is a pretty good addition to the Speculative Wildlife Research Center. Keep up the great work! 👍

    Suggestion...
    ORCS
    Eons ago, a hominid species split off from our evolutionary branch early on, settling down in places with lots of caves and tunnels, giving them a pale, seemingly-gaunt appearance, their sharp teeth ideal for eating small or dead animals or scraping mosses and fungus from stones. Millennia later, they emerged from their dank and dark homes to find a changed world and sought new opportunities in it. It's theorized snakes went down a similar path during the time of dinosaurs and the immediate aftermath.
    Orcs have human-like intelligence and, early on, made a living by scrounging through the things their human cousins left behind--animal hides, edible meat, scrap metal, tools and weapons, etc. Some, though, sought humans out and learned new tricks from them, from carpentry to domestication to metallurgy, though their craftsmanship almost always appeared more crude. In time, they went from scavengers to hunters because "why scavenge others' kills when you can make your own" and this mindset caused them to eventually adapt a violent mentality. Orcs will frequently commit premeditated and often-unprovoked acts of violence, not unlike chimpanzees.
    Humans are quick to underestimate orcs because of their brutish appearance, but they can be deceptively-cunning and more resourceful than most are prepared for. Some orcs have even started counting on it, playing the part to trick hunters into getting cocky, only to spring a trap of which few-if any-will survive.
    Orcs would be considered a bigger threat to ancient man if not for one factor--they tend to fight each other more than humans. Resources, territory, or one orc clan being a menace? Doesn't matter. Fighting has become ingrained into their genetics.
    (I'm basing them more on Tolkien's interpretation of Orcs, not Warhammer or World of Warcraft.)

    I have two questions about the gems
    1. what do the predators get out of hunting the gems? does the gem fluid have any benefits for the risk Like salt? Nutrients? Or are they attracted to the lights the gems emit
    2. How do the gems communicate to each other? Can they create Pacific vibrations that they can understand? Or do they emit different levels of light that they can understand? Or something difference

    • @speculativewildlife
      @speculativewildlife  4 месяца назад +3

      Thanks for asking!
      1. These predators would have a very similar biology to gems themselves, and they either gain access to nutrient rich soil the gems may have wanted to use for spawning, or by breaking down the gems they obtain nutrients for their offspring!
      2. Communication would mostly be a mix of tactile and visual, through a mix of solid light and photon emission towards other gems!

    Edit: another idea i have would be to make fight analysis videos. Pit two of your creations against each other and analyze their offensive and defensive adaptations and how they would fare against the other. Then narrate how a death match would likely occur between them and determine a winner. You can then finish it off explaining how a more realistic confrontation between the combatants would occur. Some match ups you could do include godzilla vs ghidorah, sonic vs scp 173, and wolf baboon vs vampire (the flightless bat version)

    I have absolutely no clue what I just saw. This has to be by far the most ridiculous thing you’ve ever reimagined on the channel. I don’t watch Steven Universe so I didn’t really get much of it (I also was unaware of it being LGBTQ+) but even from my perspective this was pretty interesting and it’s nice to see another alien society on the channel. Which leads me to my big surprise I have. Lo and behold: The Transformers.
    As we looked out into the universe for life we found several examples of such exotic lifeforms. Colossal beings like the Ghidorah and curious oddities like the Grey Aliens are but a couple. We wished for us to be able to form a proper union with another sapient species out there in the cosmos. You know what they say, be careful what you wish for. The Cybertronians are one of the most unique creatures out there, mainly because of their unique structure and abilities. They are beings based on metals instead of carbon but that is seemingly due to the nature of their home planet Cybertron. It is a super earth and evidence suggests that early in the evolution of life it was covered in molten metal. The planet never cooled properly or went through a late heavy bombardment event in its history so there is little to no water on the surface. Life on Cybertron had to adapt another substance to use as fuel, an alcohol colloquially known as Energon. This substance was key to kickstarting the Cybertronian ecosystem with almost all beings using it as an energy source. It has a volatile nature and is highly reactive so it is drunken sparingly as to make it last. Cybertron has developed an entire biosphere of metal animals that have adapted to these harsh conditions, though not as diverse as Earth. After millions upon millions of years sapience eventually developed somewhere between 6-12 million years ago with some of the first Cybertronians. These were large humanoids that had developed an interesting way to live. These creatures are mainly carnivorous though would eat just about anything if they have access to it. Compared to other lifeforms on Cybertron they have a relatively soft and flexible build, despite them being metallic organisms. This is key to their hunting behaviour as they practice extremely complex mimicry that is similar to that of Earth’s mimic octopus. The Cybertronian would often use its flexible body to imitate beings or objects in their native environment, along with chromatophores to help make their disguise more convincing to their prey. Once a suitable prey item comes into range of the Cybertronian it would quickly transform into its humanoid form and pounce upon the prey. Cybertronians were normally solitary and nomadic creatures, usually not forming bonds with other members of their species. At least until recent history when they had to become more creative with their disguises as their prey became wiser. Many Cybertronians began utilising their advanced mimicry to move and hunt in more efficient fashions such as the development of sphincters adapted to help propel themselves either across the ground or in the air. Another adaptation was the ability to fire a liquid from their arms while not toxic in any way, relies upon kinetic energy to take down prey. As the complexity of their hunting style increased they eventually developed sapience which led to the eventual formation of sociality in the Cybertronian species. This might have occurred when two individuals crossed paths in neutral territory and began communicating in basic terms. All we know is that Cybertronians began living together. Their chromatophores became useful here in differentiating individuals from each other as they developed their own unique patterns and disguises as they specialised within their respective packs. These bands would eventually start using tools, their humanoid physiology being well adapted for such things. As more groups discovered each other they were mainly peaceful towards each other. The first groups being known as “The Primes” in Cybertronian culture and the title has been passed down for generations as seemingly the best of the best. Something interesting about Cybertronians is their life cycle. They reproduce both sexually and asexually in the same way Earth plants do. When coming into contact with a female Cybertronian the male will impregnate her and move on. The female will then lay several eggs with young Cybertronians in them. These eggs are rich in Energon and highly sought after by predators so the female will defend them with her life. Once the eggs hatch the female will not provide much care or attention to the hatchlings, only providing protection from being around her. They will leave once they have reached maturity at around a few years in age. At this point they will begin using their camouflage abilities to hunt smaller prey but transition to larger animals as they age. These protoforms will moult several times before eventually reaching maturity. It’s unknown how long these creatures will live for but they can seemingly cannot be killed by old age. Cybertronians are normally grey in colour but the chromatophores allow for a wide variety of different shades and patterns. As their civilisation advanced there was a split in Cybertronian society. A group known as the Decepticons were rebelling against the natural hierarchy of their society due to being mistreated by the people in charge and began to wage war to create a better world for all Cybertronians. Their leader, Megatron, was seen as a man of the people in the beginning but as the war carried on he was seen as a tyrannical madman who cared only for violence. In response what was left of the government reformed themselves into a group known as Autobots and began a counteroffensive against the Decepticons, eventually leading to the Autobots leaving Cybertron behind and migrating out into space. The Decepticons were left to rule over the planet but, out of fear of an Autobot invasion, decided to follow their path. This led both groups to Earth where they chose common vehicles as a form of camouflage. The Decepticons choosing to resemble military vehicles while the Autobots chose more civilian vehicles. As of now humans are mainly trying to help the Autobots win the war as Megatron’s insanity doesn’t make him seem like a good person to have in charge.
    This seems to be a more “simple” alien race compared to the Gems and I can’t wait to see what you have planned next. I’ll see you soon, goodnight.

    interesting, didn't realize I would be so on the money by guessing the two most artificial ben 10 aliens sans clockwork! that said, i dont know if the shapeshifting you described is a one-to-one with rose becoming a part of steven (if it was at all) seeing as rose's death would probably be best described as a form of endosymbiosis, and not a mere shapeshifting event. but hey you rarely go for that anyhow so who am I to complain.
    As for requests....maybe the planchakule from Ben 10? apparently july is minority mental health month, so i guess thats a good enouh reason as any to have what's arguably the most outwardly neurodivergent of ben's aliens?

    Amazing video and while I’ll admit I’m not the biggest fan of the show I must say this was a really intriguing and entertaining look into one of the shows most interesting aspects that being just the general nature of the gems themselves and while I know, I have suggested these guys a few times already frankly looking back on my past attempts at suggesting the rabbids all I have to say is I have no idea what I was on, but boy is it rough to read through but anyways one notable thing that that I have discovered about them is the fact that the rabbids are canonically older than the dinosaurs and used to have allegedly quite the advanced civilization before they as a species acquired catastrophic brain damage and became the obnoxious screeching goblins that they are best known as but yeah their age as a species would imply that they are in fact synapses of some variety likely somewhere close to suminia.

      About the castes, different nutrient availability and crystallotype leads to different gems being stronger, thougher, having more precise bodies and such, and these abilities are differentially selected for warrior, servant, explorer castes, and so on. Of course, the gems with the greatest offensive capabilities, or the capacity of controlling other gems, have placed themselves at the top of the pyramid!
