>>21528937 So... how about one in which a country isn't destroyed, rather than being destroyed? That seems optimistic to me.

You found this thing just lying in a box on the street; honestly, you're not sure what on Earth it is, and the waterstained and photocopied pages that came with it weren't much help. As far as you can gather, the user puts on the headset, affixes the electrodes to their face, and pushes one (and only one) of the nine buttons, each one labeled with its own peculiar symbol.

>>20780400 Yeah except they'd need entirely different environmental conditions as all the carbonoids.
Also carbonoids are just called carbon-based life, stop trying to sound smarter than you are by making up the word silicoid and then acting as if it has a readily agreed upon meaning.

>>20780626 No, you're being intellectually lazy.
A fantasy setting with magic doesn't automatically imply the laws of gravity apply differently to different objects sometimes but sometimes not.
This is exactly the reason we have cookie-cutter races. Because people/designers/artists have an idea for something and they bash through all reality and all considerations to see it happen.
If people gave more thought to the anatomy and functioning of the creatures they imagine, we'd have a lot more interesting creatures.

Tolkien had more races in his lore than people give him credit. What about all the celestials, the dire wolves, the half-elves, the stone giants, the trolls, the goblins, the hobgoblins, the draugr and you fucking forgot hobbits you daft ass.

Just like how people from The United States of Mexico are Mexicans.

>>19489685 No, I find this trend of wanting to make a paladin lose their faith for no good reason other than "I want to" disturbing.
My immediate gut theory is not wanting any kind of embodiment of a moral standard, so as to claim that the standard is nonexistent, but I'd rather give everyone the benefit of the doubt.
>>19487441 Are you saying "paladins are boring characters" or "many people who choose paladins RP them badly"?
Anonymous
>>19491633 Sounds a lot like "he wouldn't let me be chaotic neutral all the time!" for the vast majority of people I hear complaining about Paladins.
In my 3.5 game, we want our Paladin to fall not because he's trying to enforce his ideals of LAW and GOOD on us, but because he's a derpy, hammy follower of Sir Bearington who we just want to shake until he stops moving.

>>19491656 For some, it does.
I knew a guy who played a Paladin with a fall-lusting DM, once upon a time. Rather than allow it to happen, though, he opted to make everyone else in the party fall to sate his thirst for blood. This included a cleric, a druid, a warlock, and a psion... though the psion probably doesn't count due to the fact that it doesn't have an "ex-psion" status.
His fellow players raged like motherfuckers and swore revenge, only to realize the futility of it when he never played another Paladin.

>>19452184 Yes they can which was supported both in the 3rd ed codex that had a dissection report that hinted that gaunts can reproduce as well as in 5th ed codex where gaunts were able to lay eggs and spawn generations independent of the norm queen.
As for OP's question I have two points I would like to make.
One 40K is governed by the rule of cool so it really comes down to which earth creature is cooler than a carnifex which none of earth's creature's come even close.
And two having invoked the rule of cool, it is applied to all the fauna of 40K which is still not cool enough to take down a fex one on one. Even with the tyranid hyper evolutionary mutagens that the bioships seed the planet with prior to absorption wouldn't tip the scale too much
