Treasure X

The Many Mammal Moles- True Moles
In popular culture, very few animals are themselves. Most boil down to archetypes. The all-devouring locust, the ever-loyal and playful dog, the mountable horse. All of these archetypes are then applied imperfectly to unrelated animals. Tyranids and the Zerg are… Continue Reading
