Metazoids

Copyright © 1999-2020 C.E. by Dustin Jon Scott

Introduction

A Doylean “Lost World” setting for an intended audience that enjoyed programs like Pokémon and Digimon. The setting is populated by creatures who resemble animals, fungi, and plants, but actually represent a 4th, ?lost? kingdom of multicellular living things who show evidence of genomic infiltration by extraterrestrials.

The Islands

These are the islands inhabited by the Metazoids.

Main Island

Main Island — this location has been stumbled upon by people in the past. An English ship from the 1700s remains moored at a coral reef, while the ruins of a fallen passenger jet can be found in the mountains.

Underworld

Underworld — not a proper island but an area that connects the islands together through an underground network.

Categories of Metazoids

Metabugs

[MB] Metabugs — invertebrate-like metazoids. Just like invertebrates, this may be a paraphyletic grouping that, in order to become monophyletic, would properly have to include the next category: MetaFish (vertebrate-analogues).

(Pictured: MB6 – MegaBug)

Metafish

[MF] Metafish — fish-like metazoids. This may be a paraphyletic grouping that, in order to become monophyletic, would properly have to include the next category: the MetaRats. Likewise, the MetaFish can be thought of as a subcategory of the MetaBugs.

(Pictured: MF5 – Grabeel)

Metasaurs

[MS] Metasaurs — reptile-like metazoids. This may be a paraphyletic grouping that, in order to become monophyletic, would properly have to include the next category: the MetaRats. Likewise, the MetaSaurs can be thought of as a subcategory of the MetaFish.

Metatheres

[MR] Metarats — mammal-like metazoids. These may be a subcategory within the MetaSaurs.

(Pictured: MR8 – Leōnix)

Metavegs

[MV] Metavegs — plant-like metazoids. Thought to be most closely related to the MetaBugs.

X

[X] Unclassified — mysterious metazoids.

Current Status

I’m currently trying to rebuild my life after having suffered some devastating losses in my battles against public corruption in Pacific County, Washington and Lewis County, Washington. I lost a great deal of my artwork and writing during those battles, among other possessions, and was forced into homelessness by the corrupt authorities in those counties on more than one occasion. If you support the arts and sciences and disdain public corruption, please consider donating to me via PayPal or supporting me on Patreon. All donations will go toward funding my school career and giving me more time to create content.
