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

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

your soul when the algae runs out?!
