Primitive tetrapods of the Devonian gave rise to modern amphibians like Fringy, mammalians like Rags, even Germans like Metal. But the evolutionary history of the Longman remains obscure. Possibly he is an emergent phenomenon, life-adjacent, appearing to prey on the proliferating species Scribeus inadequans.

I strongly suspect he’s not terrestrially native. Perhaps he arrived in the dust of a Kuiper Belt object, like a periodic comet with a particularly LONG orbit

Unfortunately, Megarachne- the giant spider from the Carboniferous- was never a spider at all. It was discovered during this film’s production that Megarachne was actually a eurypterid (giant sea-scorpion). They misinterpreted the upper half of its body for the cephalothorax and abdomen of a spider. So, for the narration, they refer to it as ‘Mesothelae’ because that’s a taxon of spider that existed during the period, though they never reached the size seen in the movie. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megarachne (TL;DR it lacked clairvoyance)

[@陳嘉宇-y4q]

Kudos to the original scientist, he also thought he found a giant spider, then after a while, he decide to re-examine the specimen, and found out it's not the case

[@larry7869]

Mesothelae spiders still exist, they're quite small and live in South East Asia. real interesting creatures to look at; since they're the most ancient of all living spiders, you can sort of get a glimpse of what the first true spiders would have looked like, though they'd still look a bit different too

MauLer the program you are looking for is Attenborough’s 1979 series _Life on Earth: A Natural History._ Each episode covers, like you’re imagining, a building block/stage of evolution through its modern representatives, with titles as compelling as The Infinite Variety, Building Bodies, The First Forests, The Swarming Hordes, Conquest of the Waters, Invasion of the Land, the Rise of Mammals, Theme and Variations. It is, of course, from 1979, so the production is not contemporary (innovative enough to be taken aback by anyway), but the presentation and narrative by Sir Atty are immaculate and timeless, the theory of evolution broadly has not changed, and it stands as one of the best nature documentaries of all time. Find your copy on the internet archive.

In David Attenborough's voice : And here we have the humble Slaaneshi cultist. Frolicking and free, the heretic enjoys a delightful combination of intoxication, recreation, and fornication. It's very existence is dedicated to the many pleasures found in life. Truly one could not find a happier being in all the infinite cosmos, among both the brightest and darkest corners of space. But life giveth... and life taketh away. Enter... Tyberos, the Red Wake. An apex predator of the Carcharodon's chapter, this dark eyed monster sees his prey, and carefully approaches. Ever vigilant, his massive power claws and armored frame are ever on the hunt for mutants, xenos... And the heretical. As night approaches, the armored figure of an exemplar warrior of the Emperor slowly, and silently approaches the cultist, now resting by a fire. The cultist is deeply inhaling the hallucinogenic smoke tinged in deep purples and bright pinks, and fails to perceive his demise approaching. The terminator armors massive frame smashes shoulder first into the cultist, the massive ceramite pauldron knocking the startled cultist to the ground. Unable to orient himself fast enough to retaliate or escape, the cultist has only a fraction of a second to make a half-completed attempt to stand before being rent asunder by the Red Wake's lightning wreathed talons. In a single decisive strike, the cultist lays dead upon the ground in pieces... Space... Can be full of beauty and wonder, but also holds terrifying dangers for the unaware.
