Two biologists and a musician try to guess Arknights character animals (hilarity ensues)

Two actual factual biologists and a musical composer try to guess the animals Arknights characters are based off. The winner gets to tweet something from my account (crazy huh). If this video does well, expect more content like this in the future.

[@ParadoxAAA]

Fun Fact: Specter may have a great white in her background but she's actually based on a helicoprion shark which is an extinct shark with a saw like lower jaw which her weapon is a reference to. There is even a helicoprion at the very bottom of her alter's E2 art although it has 2 extra pairs of eyes and an extra pair of fins.

[@fathermarkelch.4191]

Ooh, that actually makes way too much sense, shame they didn't put more emphasis on that in her art

[@mrduck1490]

Well since Specter forgot who she was, it kinda fits that the Nun personality (her 5 star form) is a great white shark that everyone knows, while her forgotten personality (her alter) is an extinct shark from the past.

[@hambor12]

@@mrduck1490honestly i love Specter’s reversal of the common “DID violent alter” trope because her original self is so comically brutal and casually violent that it makes Nun Specter tame in comparison

[@CodyCalicOni]

I always thought she's based on the Chimaera (Ghost shark) due to her codename and her headdress design.

19:58 List of operators who dig the Doctor and want to continue the bloodline - Gravel (Canon, she falls for the Doctor starting in Near Light and by 200 Trust she tells the Doctor her real name and makes a Knightly vow that sounds like a wedding vow) Platinum (Canon, rescue romance at end of Near Light in Armorless extra epilogue, takes advantage of onboarding line to invite Doctor for a date with her potential token) Skadi (Canon, her love for the Doctor first surfaces in Under Tides and IS3 extra endings are the bad future when Ishar-Mla inherits her love for the Doctor and turns into the biggest Yandere on Terra, also the reason why Corrupting Heart Skadi exists) Angelina (voiced lines, has romantic lines with Doctor in 200 Trust) Muelsyse (canon, rescue romance ending to Lone Trail, has romantic banter with Doctor in her voiced lines) Ho'olheyak (actually canon, she wants the Doctor to give her descendants) Ptilopsis (voiced lines) Blue Poison (voiced lines, wants Doctor to hold her hand in public!) Skyfire (voiced lines, she gets fired up walking near the Doctor's office) Ambriel (voiced lines, she invites the Doctor to a movie date in her room at 200 Trust) Enciodas Silverash (Canon, his mancrush starts with the Doctor defeating his coup bloodlessly and is so strong he canonically signs on to be near the Doctor) Swire (voiced lines, invites Doctor for a date and tries to poach him from Rhodes) That's a whole lot more than 5 lol.

[@cloud8005]

I would argue Angelina, Ho’olheyak, Skyfire, Muelsyse, Swire and SilverAsh’s interactions can all be interpreted platonically or as jokes, especially since they all have much bigger priorities than romance, but I definitely think Dorothy should be on the list as she offers the Doctor kisses etc.

Also for Coura, her name is a giveaway "Asian box turtles are turtles of the genus Cuora in the family Geoemydidae. About 12 extant species are recognized. The keeled box turtle is often included in this genus, or separated in the monotypic genus Pyxidea. " - Wikipedia - the "Genus Cuora" part. Not specifying Box turtles but put the whole quote in anyway.

Ok, to correct. Dimas is not a seagull. Dimas is a Tern, specifically an Arctic Tern. But terns and seagulls do belong to the same family in terms of taxonomy, Laridae

Lee isn't a fish. He is a Lung (eastern dragons descendant) and this is the only real error. The rest are just classification issues. Elysium is a tern (they are on his e2 art but yeah it's unbelivably hard to guess all Liberi correctly). Ling being part of Sui is at the same time right (eastern dragon sure) and wrong (not Lung) but that's probably irrelevant. Specter is a shark but not great white one (irrelevant again). Irene is a petrel (Liberi again and they are the hardest and there were no ornithologist). Weedy is literally weedy seadragon not seahorse (it was mentioned too but there's an interesting hint in the name that was missed). Overall a great idea and nice implementation regardless of all those useless details.

[@KyuubiDragon4]

But "koi" is still a correct answer for Lee, because the full basis of his design is the legend of a koi swimming up a waterfall and becoming a dragon.

[@stugiii_ausf_h]

That's an interesting line of thought I have never actually considered. Thanks for pointing that out.
