Woah, hey!
I'm back and dusty but unharmed ok, sorry about that!
But check it out, I got some great video of both our monsters! I've been looking it over (and over and over and over) and here's a few things I noticed:
First of all, the new guy isn't quite as big as old Gargantua maternus and he's (I say he, but who knows what the things real gender is) darker and a bit scrawnier. I've got a couple theories about it. It could be some kind of sexual dimorphism - he's a different sex than Big Mommy, and therefore looks different. Another possibility is that he's malnourished, possibly competing for food (and losing) with Big Mommy.
Oh and here's another thing. Y'know how every time Big Mommy comes around she leaves a trail of crabs behind her? Well the new guy didn't drop any! IN fact, when I zoomed in, there wasn't a thing on him. Weird right? Before, I used to think the crabs were some kind of monster lice, but then why doesn't the new guy have them? Haven't got any theories on that yet.
If anybody wants to check out the video I got to give this some more thought, I'd be glad to share!
