/monster/ - The Last Bastion of Romance★

I don't think a ball large enough to encapsulate on impact would actually be required, just need large enough to knock the prey down, and once on the ground could use the prone state to spread across them rapidly.

Though to truly be an apex, I think it would have to be something that could also take down other monster girls. to fight off or even feed from the competition.

So something that could, on top of everything else, have a method to deal with other monsters? The problem with that is keeping it energy efficient. They can't be overly complex or else their gestation time will increase and that will have negative effects on their reproduction rate, of which needs to be as high as possible.

Perhaps one solution is something that's a bit more radical when compared to most energy gaining methods. Perhaps this slime can treat monsters the exact same way it would treat males. Simply engulf them as well. Obviously, the monster that's engulfed will not be generating energy or anything like a male, but it will have some energy, and taking that energy provides two benefits for the slime: the acquisition of food and elimination of competition. By absorbing other monsters, the slime takes their energy and without any of its, 'life force,' the monster would then die, perhaps allowing its body to provide additional nutrients to the slime. Using this method, the slime at least gets fed energy and creates a less competitive environment for its self. This same method could be used for couples as well, either attack the monster first or engulf them both. This method should work for the slime for the large majority of monsters, assuming the slime is able to take spirit energy at least close to the level of that of a wight.

The problem really arises when it comes to larger more powerful monsters. A slime versus wight for an example. They would both be good at taking energy, but who would win in a fair one on one? It is my belief that a wight, being sentient or at least having a mind similar to a human female, would either start to panic from the viciousness of the attack, or, due to the demon lords manipulation of their behavior, hesitate to go all out on a fellow monster. Both of these points I think apply in some way to most powerful monsters, and at the same time, I don't think these instinctual behavioral traits would be present in the apex slime, giving it an upper hand in a fight.

Sorry, I didn't realize what I had done until you pointed it out. I was thinking it to be used solely as a survival tactic as opposed to something attempting to be sexual. Forgive me brother. Perhaps it'll just leave other monsters too drained to be competent competition?

You're forgetting how evolution works. It's random mutations where the ones that don't kill or inhibit survival of the subject are passed on.

There is never a garauntee that perfection will be achieved through evolutionary means.

>>289566

I've only offered what I think would be a very good evolutionary path, that I believe to be possible, especially since it's coming about from a species already prone to mutation. Additionally, I came to this evolutionary solution based off the fact that, for monsters, their food and reproductive partner are one in the same, so whatever evolution that does take place, should absolutely prioritize the acquiring of a human male and extraction of energy from said male as efficiently as possible. I believe I've explained this in my first post, but never the less, I'll try again.

To acquire a male as quickly as possible, any courtship behavior needs to be eliminated. Males need to be rendered 'captured' by the monster as soon as possible to get to energy extraction and therefore reproduction as soon as possible. This evolutionary makes sense, as a species would indeed be pressured and rewarded for quick food acquisition strategies with additional resources sooner and the proliferation of their genetics. The slime evolution I've proposed is in a ball shape to maximize speed and therefore increase its ability to tackle and encase prey. This results in a simple evolution and a very short acquisition time and that's the point, to find a evolutionary path that makes sense and is simple enough to reasonably happen. Of course evolution is random as it's based off random mutation, but the requirements and pressures I've layed out are still one hundred percent valid, and never the less, will result in evolutions that support and adapt to them. To say other wise is to deny species adaptation, and to say my proposed possible future evolution isn't possible because of the randomness of genetic mutation, is very silly.

>>289722

again, you are using words like "need" or "must" nature is not a thinking creature, and has no motive. The required mutations you insist on happening primarily because it eliminates steps is not in fact what we have seen happen in the real world. Courting behavior and the very existence of male and female are obstacles of reproduction. Yet no sufficiently complex organisms reproduce asexually.

I'm not saying its impossible, I'm saying its not any more likely than any other future.

>>289747

Okay, I'm not saying this is the absolute only evolutionary path they can take, I'm just identifying some evolutionary pressures that do indeed exist and providing a possible solution, and I thought I made this pretty clear, even in the title of this thread. "Possible Future Monster Evolution." Keywords possible and future.

>>289747

Perhaps, if my solution doesn't make sense to you, you can provide a possible evolution of monsters and enlighten me? We can think about which one would be more successful and why.

>>289795

The relationship between monster grills and humans is that of a parasitic one, absolutely none of the traits which would encourage explosive breeding would be favored. If ten thousand years of stability and stasis were to happen, then all explosive breeding traits would disappear because all the explosive breeders would die out immediately. Also lolis of monsters that do grow up into non-loli adults would lose their early sexual mate selection process and they'd start the same time human boys hit puberty. For the consumption of spirit energy, it really doesn't matter how efficient it is since the benefits accumulate over time it pretty much favors inefficiency.

>>289026

i mean, picture from OP, kinda takes all that in account with Erubetie sama

>>290161

> parasitic

are you a 3dpd?

>>290208

Monster girls technically count as parasites since their species requires human men to survive. Though there are different groups of parasites. Iirc You have mutual, neutral and harmful. A good example of mutual would be cleaner fish and sharks. The cleaner fish dont get eat and the sharks get their mouths and such cleaned up. For Neutral you can think of barnacles and large sea life like whales. The whales dont notice the barnacle but the barnacle gets a free ride. Harmful is the immediate thought people have with parasites and a good example would be like with tapeworms or the like. They feed off us at our expense

pfft, a monstergirl is beneficial since they can cook and do the things that woman do but without the bitchyness or hypergamy.

Your priorities are fucked.

>pfft, a monstergirl is beneficial since they can cook and do the things that woman do but without the bitchyness or hypergamy.

That's a very shallow way of looking it it, I' m thinking purely along the lines of the big picture.

Unless they give birth to both human men and fellow monster grills the relationship of acquiring mates for breeding is purely parasitic, they need to siphon away potential mates from human females at humanity's expense while somehow not causing mutual extinction by not out competing them. If that status quo does not change then my point still stands, all the fast rapib breeders will die out.

>>290217

looks like asians and whites are mostly vulnerable. it wont be bad near the death throes of humanity only elliot rodgers would be left. which will be hillarious.

let it happen nigger.

There must be some kind of self limiting mechanism at work here, like low quality mating and feeding yielding low quality energy, because you'd be getting raped into a soulless husk. That wouldn't let her be an apex predator that can afford to hunt efficiently and breed like crazy, because she's about as energetic and intelligent as a panda.

This is why matango tier abominations will always be rare, and only exist within an unstable, evolutionary dead end niche.

Monster girls replace human women. Men stay the same. I suppose it may usher in a new taxonomic defition: Homo Daemonium, or something. Relative peace on earth.

Lizards have their own self selection process and self-limiting constraints. They're one of the few that do.
