That begs the question though—can you simply remove entire sections of a Rey Dau's metallic carapace like one peels a chestnut from a horse? Does this hurt the Rey Dau? 🤷
I am very sleep deprived, hyperfixating intensely on this particular monster, and I would love to hear opinions/thoughts.

I'll have to figure out a design that doesn't obstruct the slits on either side of its neck when it charges up a large lightning blast, but that might not be an issue for a mid-sized specimen. The one from leaked footage seems to be on the smaller side, though, so I see why they went with theirs.(5)

It's also where the least amount of movement would be in terms of the carapace/scutes while the monster moves. The placement allows secure attachment without sacrificing mobility with a strap around the base of the neck and two looped tightly around the next row of scutes behind the saddle. (4)

the stance of their Dau such as a threat display or in flight. My OC is a bow main, so the more forward seating also means she has a better position to shoot from while still being far enough back to not be an outright target herself. (3)

for where a single rider might fit (depending on the specimen's age/size). The in-game Dau is smaller than my OC's Dau but I think the saddle should be moved more between the shoulders. It would require a more HotD-style saddle or one where a rider could lean back on their knees depending on (2)

you'll never guess who we just got in the new teaser trailer.

As an aside, hey, I think it's very acceptable to ask why AI platforms that are being sued left and right for copyright infringement, deepfake pornography, and wrongful death are not "high risk" like (checks notes) indie games and comics and obvious works of original fiction.

i had no idea those were even a thing, but now that i do i'm highkey gonna be keeping an eye out for one after i get my grubby little mitts on a decent espresso machine for iced coffee. :0
