[ He meant to send this privately to Hythlodaeus. But he was so pressed about it that he sent it the wrong way.

The image is a picture of the bounty notice and NOT the actual creature itself. ]



I TOLD you we shouldn't have taken that thing

Not really.

Still doesn't mean things need to be walking on their hands though.

[emet_sulk]

I've seen a species of ape which has similar-looking feet. But on principle I would agree.

[seasaltkeys]

Yeah, but feet and hands are different, even if they look similar.

[He's probably talking himself in circles. Unfortunately, he's part-Sora]

[emet_sulk]

Well, let's look at it this way:

The limbs upon which a creature walks on may be considered feet, and limbs which can grasp objects may be considered hands.

In that case, these limbs ought to be considered feet even if they resemble men's hands.

[seasaltkeys]

[After a period of thought and considering this.]

That makes sense, I guess. I think I can work with that.

But, does that mean it could grab stuff with its feet, also?

[emet_sulk]

Why not? There is nothing which says feet cannot grasp objects.

[seasaltkeys]

I guess. Just seems weird though.

I mean. I can't really grab stuff with my feet.

[emet_sulk]

Not very well, no. But over the course of centuries or millennia of use, those feet could adapt to grasp things.

[seasaltkeys]

But that's not very helpful right now.
