[QUOTE="Dr. Strangemonkey, post: 395464, member: 6533"] [b]2D Art and Communication[/b] I think they would have to develop 2D art if they were to develop walls, I would presume that a species that sees in all directions would have to use such decoration to combat their high level of latent Agoraphobia. I would love to know what the authors thought about the issue of why they would socialize. But failing that... I think a social strategy for their species would develop out of whatever phenomena forced them out of the water and onto dry land. The float and catch strategy doesn't seem to work as well out of the water, and not being individually very strong or large I think they would shift to pack hunting naturally. I mean one could 'maybe' catch a rabbit but ten telekineting creatures could probably ambush and kill larger prey very effectively. I don't know how they communicate in the game, but once you have a reason for the socializing the commuincation methods are pretty easy to bang down. Of course there's always the alternate evolution. Some wizard or gawd is always making stuff like them. And for writing, again I'm wishing I had the book, I would give them knotted cord technology. Like the Incas. [/QUOTE]
