Definitely dangerous.

So are bunnydogs what occur when Chtorr interact with kids, what it produces when it eats kids, or what "infected" kids mutate into?
Bunnydogs are what infected male children turn into. They and the Lippids (infected female kids) exist to be fast-breeding cattle for the rest of the ecology.
>They and the Lippids (infected female kids) exist to be fast-breeding cattle for the rest of the ecology.
You can tell the Author actually doesn't know that much about biology...
>The guy wrote Trouble with Tribbles, of course he doesn't.
Oh he did?
Tribbles at least aren't as egregious since they grow and self-replicate in the presence of food, they have to HAVE something to feed on for their population to explode.
Bunnydogs and Lippids being the base of a food web though?
They don't look like autotrophs to me.

When anon called them cattle, that's literally their role in the ecosystem. They're not the base base, they're herbivores that the higher organisms feed on.

I've wanted to play a fantasy take on Chtorr for so long but I've never got around to learning how to decipher GURPS' stat blocks.
I was going to guess this was a Chtorr just based off seeing GURPS threads here and there.
Then I saw this, and realized I hadn't actually read anything about them before, just the scary giant caterpillar memes. So what, do they consume things, then make cocoons/lay eggs and make new species? Eating animals and people to reproduce new mutants like some kind of non-shapeshifting version of the the Thing? Or is there some kind of hive-mind or controlling queen thing going on, like Starship Troopers?
I's not fully revealed what the chtorrans actually are -- but the general gist is that it's a procedualy generated ecology that travels through space, lands on random places through detected radio signals, and then produces lifeforms based on what's situationally needed. Gastropedes (the worms) are basically biological bulldozers meant to destroy and clear out major resistance on Earth - human civilization - after a series of world shattering plagues.and before truly lovecraftian stuff starts appearing.
The way the chtorrans communicate is through a biological internet composed of neuro-fiber hairs that are found on every chtorran -- from the tiniest blades of pink/purple grass to giant beasts the size of skyscrapers or aircraft carriers, they communicate in shared experiences and all this stuff together is producing a godlike consciousness that sees humanity as little more than food/a biological resource for the biomass
To add to this, it's not all bad news. Some stuff finds its way into the Chtorran ecology and thrives. There are crabs and other fish doing great inside the carrier sized fish monsters (that are really giant colonies of countless organisms) and there are even people living right alongside the giant fuzzy worms. Pic related for what happens when kids play with their new worm buddies for too long.
So, what happens to the human adults that become assimilated into the ecology?
Hey, just because the chtorrans have fur, every species goons all day, and they all like to try feeding themselves to other giant things in the ecology doesn't exactly mean they're furries

They get covered in fur that's really neural symbiotes. This enhances their senses to the point that they can taste their clothes and pick up insane amounts of information from smell alone. They also can apparently communicate with Chtorran lifeforms, but I'm really unclear on how that's supposed to work because the book explaining all this stuff hasn't been published yet despite being ready for like twenty years. My best guess is the Chtorran communication ability sort of overwhelms them and causes them to go feral. After that, they continue to mutate more and more due to being way too damn close to all sorts of nasty things.

Didn't the author said he lost the will to continue the story because he wrote himself into a corner? He doesn't likes downer endings, yet he can't figure out how to make a good Ending without some serious Deus ex.

Bunnydogs are mutated male children that live to frick and multiple. While the Lippids (I think) are females, that only live to give birth. When either start to getting too slow at their duties, they are then casually eaten by worms.

It's easier than you'd think, though I'm used to 4th edition and the WatC book is 3rd edition.
Hypothetical that just popped into my head, if for some godforsaken reason (such as being an Eclipse or the like) a character ends up with both an attribute excellency and an ability excellency, is there anything stopping them from using them together in a combo other than common sense?
gastropedes are all literally trans. their life cycle has them go from female to male when they're adults. Interesting fact, in book 3 when it's explained that the worms change genders, humanity in the setting somehow didn't have the concept for "trans" in the 80's

You may have a point
OwO
Do the caterpillars represent gay sex?
For you? Yes. For everyone else it's a reminder about trash day.
>For you? Yes.
But wasn't that the author's intent?
I'm pretty sure the gay sex represented gay sex.
But what does it say about, like, society?
Meds. Now.
... Anon, stop watching Fox News. Not everything on this world is about gays. Caterpillars obviously represent trans people.
A lot of gastropedes are mtf btw generally
...that's disturbingly fitting now that you mentioned it.
Anonymous sure does think about gay sex alot...........
No. But also yes.
Now that I think about it, there was an awful lot of gay sex in these books. Coincidence?
I choose to drink water multiple times during the day. That is a decision I make, based on my whims alone.
The caterpiller made a cocoon and became a butterfly. I choose to let him fly free and do as he will.
It’s fluffy so why not?
>decide to read War Against Chtorr for some cool human vs alien ecosystem stuff, expecting something similar to Henders Island

The aliens are the ones responsible for the pedophilia.

Purr worms
I have no idea what the frick that is, so all I'll say is: Enjoy being oviposited when it reaches breeding age...
Hypothetical that just popped into my head, if for some godforsaken reason (such as being an Eclipse or the like) a character ends up with both an attribute excellency and an ability excellency, is there anything stopping them from using them together in a combo other than common sense?
huh?
Just let the thread die, bumpgaygo.
What if they are smol instead
Can they be tamed? What if you kept feeding them cheeseburgers?
No, not really, they tame you and make you fetch them food (other humans and earth things) and then you mutate into slaves
They’d want more cheeseburgers
What's the significance?
Prrrt
