Help me brainstorm designs for a “new species” of stag beetle that is both cool and believable.
I’m looking for features that are outlandish but can actually exist in nature (e.g. the growths on the carapace of samurai crabs, the rear femora of leaf-footed bugs, etc.) that would make it look obviously not real but still believable.
Bonus imaginary points if you have ecological justifications for the features.
Feel free to do edits on my sketch if it will help visualize your ideas.
