hoidhunter he/him Posted March 5, 2016 Posted March 5, 2016 Nah I just spiked it to steal some things from it. Staying in one place for that long would prevent me from being able to travel and establish the Dark Alley. Also how many keyboards do you know that are sized for an omni-beast? I'd fall way behind in my RP writing. I thought the shell on your tail looked a little small to support a continent...but it's hard to judge scale.
Yata he/him Posted March 6, 2016 Posted March 6, 2016 (edited) The reason great shells are humongous is because they are super strong from using storm light. Why do you think they have gem hearts?chulls pupate without gem hearts because you can pupate without using storm light. You don't read very closely, chasm fiends eat everything they can because they're always starving but they're still alive because of storm light. If I remember right, every GreatShell (chull included) have GemHearts. But the GemHeart's size is function of the Greatshell's size and therefore a Chull's GemHeart is something really little and without any great value (compared with the useful beast you need to kill).

I did a search through kings and radiance for every instance of "Gemheart" and nothing suggests that chulls have gemhearts.

Probably (but I am not sure) they aren't big enough, or something like that... If a Beast large as a Charmfiend (and a big one) has a Gemheart of Human's Head size... something more smaller may have just a little (like the salt) or none cristal in them.
Bugsy he/him Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 (edited) We know that the planet is shardificial (shard-made, not quite manmade), so there is a chance that any potential creature that compromises the planet could potentially live off of investiture. As it would be as large as the planet itself, it would always have a highstorm on it at some point, which would provide a source of investiture for it at all times. It could also potentially draw investiture from the moons (as it's generally accepted that they're gemstones). Potential branch theories (Tinfoil hat alert): 1) All greatshells "bud" off of this creature: this could explain why the Chasmfiends appear to migrate to the Shattered plains from an unknown location. They would bud off of the huge creature at the plains and pupate almost immediately. This could explain why their birthplace remains unknown and why they continue to pupate regularly at the plains following the "systematic destruction of their juvenile population" 2) The head of the greatshell is the origin 3) The greatshell can somehow metabolize water a) The whirlpool in Hoid's story was the water intake point Note: I don't necessarily believe the "Potential branch theories", but I think discussion on them would be interesting Edited March 7, 2016 by Bugsy6912
