the final outpost

written 20240522, updated 20241111.

despite not having engaged with adoptables sites since neopets, i fell hard for the final outpost, in which you breed and raise hybrid critters. the conceit of the game is that you are restoring biodiversity after an extinction-level event. i love the creatures themselves, which mix different species together with lots of phenotypic variations, and i love how the game is sparse enough to make room for players to contribute to the world.

this page collects my fanart and custom lab and creature descriptions. (you can also visit my lab here!)

nothing in here just yet, but i do have some pretty creatures in my lab!

aviary

herpetarium

md3lm, madimi

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. she 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.

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.
