On The Final Outpost

Despite not having engaged with adoptable virtual pet sites in decades, I fell hard for The Final Outpost
The conceit of the game is that you are restoring biodiversity a millenium after an extinction-level event. I love how the creatures themselves mix different species together with lots of phenotypic variations, and how the setting as a whole leaves room for people to write themselves into it.
This page collects my crappy fanart and custom lab and creature descriptions. You can also visit my lab here!)

An unusually quiet, but territorial glubleko. By day she remains by the brackish pool, immobile and and to all appearances resembling a spotted pebble. This is until an insect or fish should pass within range, at which point she will strike extremely rapidly. I haven’t had the chance to measure her reaction speed. I’m not sure any of my instruments are up to the task.
The only other thing that will compel her to move is if something, another glubleko, the hand of the researcher, enters her territory. She will chatter loudly and put on an aggressive bluff display. This is not a social being.
At other times, for example, at night when she is not seeking prey, she is comparatively neutral. I have observed her even sometimes sharing a cave or crevice with others of the species - provided they keep their distance.

Lab
The status of your lab, Olmin, can best be described as provisional. It’s spacious and white-walled, the units on the far wall housing your proliferating creatures neatly enough. The rest is a heteroclite jumble: reference books in piles on the tables and floor and an armchair in the corner, your microscopes and centrifuges amidst the pens, brushes, inks and papers. Not disordered, as such, since you know where to find everything. You do feel a twinge of shame about it all the same, though that has not yet been enough for you to set aside your work and put everything in its right place.
