TAC - SKULL HERMIT

Description

(This little sucker will be wearing your skull at your funeral)

When Haley regained consciousness after the fall, she noticed what looked like a hermit crab on her stomach. But it didn't have a shell for a house; it had a human skull! Haley screamed and ran towards me. I called the creature a Skull Hermit.

Large relatives of hermit crabs, these curious animals are scavengers feeding on whatever rotting meat they find next. They are known to wear various animal skulls and other bones on themselves for shelter (only if they can support the weight of the bone). Most widely used were human skulls. It was a really freaky sight; but not as freaky and unexpected as the help we were about to get...

An interesting concept explored by Satoshi Kawasaki is crabs that have evolved a caste system, similar to ants, bees, and termites. Said caste system consists of soldiers, workers, and one queen.


And believe it or not, he explored the same concept applied to scorpions as well! Again, there are workers, soldiers, and a queen.


So, do you think a caste system is more likely to be used by crustaceans or arachnids millions of years in the future, or do you think the adaptation will stay exclusive to insects?
