based on the information we have to work with, i have to conclude that the fae are, in fact, a type of crab
@autistikai I would like to see your sources
@pettancow source: me
no but actually one of the big things is that arthropods are the only major category of organisms that have a non-iron-based oxygen transportation molecule
also it might also explain why it's usually hard to actually hurt the fae, if they have exoskeleton
and frankly the metamorphic analogies of shedding one's shell should not be overlooked
i have absolutely overthought this
@autistikai Heck, that brings up a lot of good points
Overthinking is half the fun of these things tho
