Metavegs


Introduction

A Doylean “Lost World” setting for an intended audience that enjoyed programs like Pokémon and Digimon. The setting is populated by creatures who resemble animals, fungi, and plants, but actually represent a 4th, ?lost? kingdom of multicellular living things who show evidence of genomic infiltration by extraterrestrials.

[MV1] Unnamed

Metabugs

[MV1.1] Unnamed seed/muncher

[MV1.2] Unnamed sprout

[MV1.3] Unnamed mushroom — there are many expanses on the island where these cover the ground like grass.

[MV1.4] Unnamed pitcher — uses chemical manipulation to lure prey. Has a long, sticky tongue it can use to help grasp prey. Spits seeds/munchers and protects patches of [MV1.3].


[MV2] Unnamed

Metabugs

[MV2.1] Unnamed seedpods

[MV2.2] Unnamed seeds

[MV2.3] Unnamed sprouts

[MV2.4] Unnamed mushrooms — there are many expanses on the island where these cover the ground like grass.

[MV2.5] Unnamed pitcher


[MV3] Unnamed

Metabugs

[MV3.1] Unnamed seedpods — a single pod will explode into hundreds of tiny seeds.

[MV3.2] Unnamed seeds — each seed that survives long enough will become a sprout.

[MV3.3] Unnamed sprouts — each sprout that survives long enough will become a flytrap.

[MV3.4] Unnamed flytraps — each flytrap that survives long enough will reproduce by vomiting up a seedpod, and can repeat this every so often for as long as it lives.


[MV4] Unnamed

Metabugs

[MV4.1] Unnamed plant — carries seedpods

[MV4.2] Unnamed seedpod

[MV3.3] Unnamed seeds


[MV5] Unnamed

This flytrap-like metazoid seems to be a close relative of MV4.

Metabugs

[MV5.1] Unnamed seeds

[MV5.2] Unnamed sprout

[MV5.3] Unnamed flytrap plant — use both simple and infrared-sensing eyespots to track motion and bodyheat.

[MV5.4] Unnamed flytrap tree — use both simple and infrared-sensing eyespots to track motion and bodyheat


[MV6] Unnamed

This coral-like metazoid seems to be a close relative of both MV4 and MV8.

Metabugs

[MV6.1] Unnamed seed — a major food source for small aquatic metazoids.

[MV6.2] Unnamed sprout — a major food source for numerous aquatic metazoids.

[MV6.3] Unnamed sapling — a major food source for many awuatic metazoids.

[MV6.4] Unnamed tree — the ever-growing, inter-tangling branches of this metazoid make up much of the reef surrounding the island.


[MV7] Unnamed

Metabugs

[MV7.1] Unnamed seeds

[MV7.2] Unnamed sprout

[MV7.3] Unnamed plant

[MV7.4] Unnamed shrub

[MV7.5] Unnamed tree


[MV8] Unnamed

Metabugs

[MV8.1] Unnamed seed

[MV8.2] Unnamed sprout

[MV8.3] Unnamed plant

[MV8.4] Unnamed tree


[MV9] Unnamed

Metabugs

[MV9.1] Unnamed seeds

[MV9.2] Unnamed sprout

[MV9.3] Unnamed flytrap plant

[MV9.4] Unnamed tree


[MV10] Unnamed

Metabugs

[MV10.1] Unnamed seeds

[MV10.2] Unnamed sprout

[MV10.3] Unnamed plant

[MV10.4] Unnamed shrub

[MV10.5] Unnamed tree


[MV11] Unnamed

Metabugs

[MV11.1] Unnamed seedpod

[MV11.2] Unnamed seeds

[MV11.3] Unnamed sprout

[MV11.4] Unnamed shrub

[MV11.5] Unnamed tree — a cactus-like metazoid that grows in temperate and cold areas of the island, enduring the cold with the aid of an insulating layer of blubber.


[MV12] Unnamed

Metabugs

[MV12.1] Unnamed seed

[MV12.2] Unnamed seedling

[MV12.3] Unnamed sprout — these metazoids cover vast expanses of the island like grass, and are an important food source for many metazoids.

[MV12.4] Unnamed sapling — can be found scattered amongst patches of MV12.3, and can be found growing in patches in fields of MV12.3.

[MV12.5] Unnamed tree — sedentary photosynthesizers that grow all over the island.

Current Status

I’m currently trying to rebuild my life after having suffered some devastating losses in my battles against public corruption in Pacific County, Washington and Lewis County, Washington. I lost a great deal of my artwork and writing during those battles, among other possessions, and was forced into homelessness by the corrupt authorities in those counties on more than one occasion. If you support the arts and sciences and disdain public corruption, please consider donating to me via PayPal or supporting me on Patreon. All donations will go toward funding my school career and giving me more time to create content.
