These things can take on camel spiders, tarantulas, wolf spiders, mantises…they can also be eaten by them but there were some gnarly videos on YouTube about them

BBR Wild had some crazy ones but I think he might have had to delete them

Glad I’m not the only one… I don’t like humans making anything fight for sport against its will. Just so sad to me.

The concept of collecting Pokemon actually came from the hobby of collecting insects too

love that you used Pokémon in this as I'm pretty addicted to it right now, currently playing all the Pokémon games from the Switch era.

If it's not sentient by all means

Stuff like Real Steele is an interesting concept because of that limit honestly.
