a real life microscopic mythos monster! this little goober can put itself in suspended animation and survive indefinitely in all kinds of conditions. and it's cute too

nerds call it a 'tardigrade'.. but if you know what time it is, you say it's the water bear, baby

yes, that would be a good name for a pet water bear. you could feed him algae juice from a tiny hunny pot

here is a good site for water bear enthusiasts. it even tells you how to find your own

water bears are way better than sea monkeys. it is theorized that a water bear could survive the vacuum of space. therefore, it is conceivable—nay—probable that they came to earth from a far, far awesomer world.

i must obtain a translation of de tardigradis mysteriis and learn the techniques to transport my mind into their watery beary dimension..

then you'll be sorry

now, puny macroscopic mortals, hurl yourself prostrate before my new avatar, and under your breath, curse the feeble carcass in which you were imprisoned by birth!! the hour of the water bear is at hand!!! who will dehydrate your soul when the algae runs out?!
