      What makes it harden? Is it nonnewtonian? Does it impale its prey?

    According to Wikipedia it’s actually a slime attack, so let’s not get too excited. God’s favorite beast is still probably the Platypus.

      Have you seen the number of beetle species?

      God’s favorite critters are beetles for sure

      Platypus seems more like, “Let’s see how many features I can cram in something before it breaks people’s immersion.”

      Yeah but they don’t show how random it is.

      In these still shots they look like focused beams but in reality they just spray that shit all over the place.

      Edit: Found a video.

            I’d kinda Iove it if they were. If there was remote island in South Asia where the BIG ones lived.
