Wow, this stream lasted forever...
not for the strip, but for the warm
up that was of our manager Gunn's
new avatar I did for him. For all his
help with the series :)
So, answer me this, what do you think
of Lycan BATS?
Lycan bats? Maybe. There's gotta be a few nocturnal species working the night shifts in Paws' Den. (Though there likely won't ever be lion lycans, unless there are other "Paws' Den"-like structures in other parts of the world...)
And I can think of right now is that no one except Luna (and the audience, obviously) had seen Dante's human face; well, now Pituka has.
So many feels!
and wut? there was a stream today?!
humm...tis strange how I feel about them...I love them heaps and I don't miss them intentionally ...but I do love the sudden unexpected surprise and joy of the whole strip suddenly appearing...magic is joyful ignorance in disguise :)
I think it would make sense if you replaced the whole cast with bats, I mean, we ALL know Gunny is right. A few bats here, a few bats there, everyone a bat.
Lycan bats= 100% YES!!! Also, first time commenting! You'll be seeing more of me, baker! Um, also what website is your stream? I've been trying to find it, but...
D'aaawww! I'm kinda sad that I had to miss the stream to work on a report...
Lycan bats, huh? Hmm...
Well there is a species of bats called Flying foxes. Those kinda look like Lycan bats already. They're the largest species of bat in the world, too!
I think they're pretty cool!
In this IP, wolfsbane removes lycanthropy but also kills the lycan as an additional poison? Well, seems like overkill, since the Dream Soldiers could just point to the bodies and say: "Oh no! Look! Humans have infiltrated Paws Den! Thus we must rationalize our Gestapo enforcement powers to keep everybody safe!" Problem lycans solved. Guess it's one way to run a brutal totalitarian monarchy and keep potential rebel malingerers in line. (Unless the poison doesn't ever COMPLETELY kill off the user (which I'm betting is the case, as the Baker ain't going to be killing off the main character Nelly yet (though, it would really be awesome for this comic to take a dark George RR Martin-esque turn in the plot so far (*SPOLIER ALERT* yet I guess it allows authority to "kill" lycans without actually killing anyone - damn cartoon code of ethics!!! *SPOILER ALERT*)))).
Lycan Bats?
First of all, Gunny's new avatar picture is SUPPOSED to be upside down. It is disquieting to be walking in anti-gravity on the ceiling of a cave and see a man-bat-thing wave a screwdriver at you. Possibly lycan bats would have a job in tunnel maintenance at Paw's Den? That or an extremely low-paid insect exterminator (probably why our heroes have met no lycan bat characters as of yet, the bats would all eat Pituka's bugs).
A number of problems would need to be surmounted before a bat lycan would be possible. There would have to be some way of suppressing the human/bat immune systems from starting new or existing T-cell and HK-cell interactions against cells carrying foreign bat tissue antigens and like-wise. Adult or juvenile stem cells from bats would have to be "taught" on how to adapt to the existing human tissues to provide the requisite features (maybe the adult human form could be "taught" to the bat stem cells as a new embryonic template to attach to/start from? Good luck with that, can't even imagine how you'd balance the bat cell lifespan with human cell lifespans; maybe a sort of bat cancer could be approximated? "Death by bat cancer" sounds like an awesome epitaph). Plus, the entire process would probably take a long amount of time, as humans take up to 14-15 years to reach maturity (or are incapable of reaching maturity, apparently, lol). I envision some kind of sterile womb-like tank-module from the first Resident Evil movie being utilized, probably with the genetic technology available a couple hundred years from now. Maybe to colonize hollow planets with gigantic caving systems, or gas-giant planets with lots of sky to maneuver in? Sure, why not? Someone write up a billion dollar sci-novel based on this. Planet of the Bats? I'm sure it's out there somewhere. We've got the Morlocks in The Time Machine by Wells (though they "evolved" that way in the book). Not a new idea by any means.
Even including the problems of making them in the first place; how the hell would a hybrid man/bat thing even work? Bats navigate using echolocation at the ultrasonic level, how would a hybrid creature be able to hear through all the noise pollution from everyone/thing around itself? Hearing would have to be sufficiently dampened so as not to overwhelm the senses. Not to mention the sense of balance and locomotion being affected. It would have to be able to communicate on some human level at any rate too. The amount of wing-space necessary to support a human frame would also make the organism largely unfeasible, it would likely be tripping over itself half the time and tearing the wings up on everything. Weight would have to be reduced to fly with smaller wings, and that makes everything more fragile. The list goes on and on. No, just a bad idea, bad, bad, bad idea...
That being said, watch some crazy kid come up with something during our lifetimes! Going to be up to one of the nutters out there to make something cool!

Best species
best = bats = best
End of discussion
Thank you again for the wonderful avatar <3
Also, POOR LUNA!
And I miss it?!
And I can think of right now is that no one except Luna (and the audience, obviously) had seen Dante's human face; well, now Pituka has.

Uuu I hope pucho will be alright
Lycan bats...hmmm. Interesting at the least, but Gunny's is awesome. The one I would want to see is a lycan dragon. (^.=.^) (I just love dragons)
