i equal parts love and hate this kinda thing, seeing the fucked up shit evolution can turn animals into is so morbidly fascinating.

like how barnacles are horrifyingly twisted crabs, if you cut one in half you can see how there's a compressed crustacean inside the shell. They are their own mech pilots, rooted in place, they have no mouth and they must scream.
