What should we do?

[Hetros]

I'm confused how this is such a huge problem for people to think about...

We study it from afar. It's a simple safish option. If we figure it'd be too much bother to capture it afterwards, then we can kill it and study the corpse. Simply outright killing it is a bad idea... since for all we know the fucker lets out a death call that summons a horde of them -.- we need to find out if it's a lone species, or a pack species, or something else entirely.

[10:14:39 AM] Minalia: ..and yes we called it the bug bear..cute name right?
[10:15:09 AM] Thalar: i don't like it, bugbears are http://www.josiahknight.com/game/campai ... gbear2.jpg
[10:15:26 AM] Thalar: and what you've found.. is not a bugbear
[10:15:27 AM] Jane: Ah yes, question about it, was it meant to be a D&D Bugbear and reza made his own visual take on it or just a new thingie?
[10:15:38 AM] Thalar: no, i asked for a bear-creature with a mantis head
[10:15:46 AM] Minalia: ooh
[10:15:48 AM] Minalia: awesome
[10:15:52 AM] Minalia: mantis bear^^
[10:16:00 AM] Minalia: i love mantis bugs
[10:16:13 AM] Jane: it's not a bugbear
[10:16:15 AM] Thalar: they're pretty awesome
[10:16:16 AM] Jane: it's a bearbug
[10:16:18 AM] Minalia: very graceful..inspired the mantis style combat
[10:16:19 AM] Thalar: hehe
[10:16:50 AM] Minalia: alright, guess we gonna do something crazy then
[10:16:57 AM] Minalia: ..we gonna tame it
[10:17:06 AM] Minalia: since its a mantis
[10:17:07 AM] Jane: tame it?
[10:17:10 AM] Minalia: we cannot afford to kill it
[10:17:13 AM] Thalar: Alu certainly made it look good

I will not trade TK lives to capture such a beast...this animal conservation crap needs to stop. We are not humans on earth that dominate the planet with impunity, we are Drow in Amaranth and everything bigger then use wants to kill and eat us. This crap about preserving beasts is unnatural, we are in for the species kids. We are at war with nature in this land. The bones of a few of our curious members already bleach in the sun.

Well we need a new name then... I still like bugbear, but we can call it something better... <thinks>

Yo, Minalia, what about Ursa Manti?

[minalia]

Hmm.. Ursa manti or mantis bear.. Both mean the same thing and both sound cool..Better do a voting poll on the name hetros.
