I think you're all wrong. How could a tardigrade grow that tall. The tardigrade is a very small animal. I also took a screen shot of the video the quality sucks since it was a moving picture...

Here is some stuff I researched...

Quote:
Tardigrades (commonly known as water bears) comprise the phylum Tardigrada. They are small, segmented animals, similar and probably related to the arthropods. Tardigrades were first described by Johann August Ephraim Goeze in 1773 (kleiner Wasserbär = little water bear). The name Tardigrada means "slow walker" and was given by Spallanzani in 1777. The biggest adults may reach a body length of 1.5 mm, the smallest below 0.1 mm. Freshly hatched larvae may be smaller than 0.05 mm.

More than 1000 species of tardigrades have been described. Tardigrades occur over the whole world, from the high Himalayas (above 6,000 m), to the deep sea (below 4,000 m) and from the polar regions to the equator.

The most convenient place to find tardigrades is on lichens and mosses. Other environments are dunes, beaches, soil and marine or freshwater sediments, where they may occur quite frequently (up to 25,000 animals per litre). Tardigrades often can be found by soaking a piece of moss in spring water.[3]

Water bears are able to survive in extreme environments that would kill almost any other animal. They can survive temperatures close to absolute zero[4], temperatures as high as 151°C (303°F), 1,000 times more radiation than any animal, nearly a decade without water, and can also survive in a vacuum like that found in space.[


They are also very slow walkers which would pose a problem if they could make it from the Statue of Liberty all the way back to Central park that fast.

It is also very plausible that the the animal could be a tardigrade! It lives in stone roofs and walls.


My thing is... With the business and many comuters in the bustling Northeast US how could no one see the beast make it's way or the train system inspectors wouldn't notice this animal or thing growing and becoming bigger and blocking the trains!



I think it's this:

Leave now, and save yourself from the horrible pain of embarassment and mental sodomy.

That looks pretty good!

The thing about those legs though (if they're legs) is they're really high up in the air. It's possiple the monster is crawling over rooftops though..

This is where the monster lines up with the ground in the wide shot.

I don't think he wants to climb I think he wants to smash...


This is the story of Harold Tomas TardiSquriUknown Jr.

Yes, He had a dad the size of a penny!


Once Upon a Time, There was a daddy TardiSquriUkown Jr. and a mommy TardiSquriUkown Jr.!

They got really high off of the rockets shot at them while they were in a pot field... They went back to the middle of New YHaroldork City and they made sweet love. 20 Years later Mommy started nagging Harold because he wouldn't get a job he then bet his friend Paul 50,000 dollars that he would fudge up New York City. He then came out the groud all extra mad...



GRRRRR!



* couple of rockets, some screams, buildings gone, blah, blah, blah *



Then bang he went back and got his money... He got madd and called his friends to get Paul... They were blind so they only went one way...


Cool

Very funny.
Your Signature however, happens to be way too big. Trust me, it's either me, your friendly neighborhood god telling you, or a killer UnFiction moderator.

Or Euchre.

Another problem with the whole tardigrade theory is that they curl up into little balls - metaphorically, I think - and hibernate when they get into unfavorable conditions. They don't tend to smash other microscopic life-forms. Dunno That slo-mo vid of the monster made it look like an even bigger-than-normal T-rex to me, even though that's probably not right.

Yeah, I think they have different forms of hibernation depending on what condition they're facing. That doesn't mean that open air would be an extreme, although they're normally only active in water.


Here's my latest monster anyway...

Did someone just imply that I am more fearsome than those mentioned just before me?

Heh.

I'm not sure this is right here, but I tried to make out, what you can see of the monster when it comes in sight between the buildings.
Shot is taken from this trailer, at 01:29 (minutes).

Open for other opinions.



Ground: Must stand on a buildung, I might also interpret his right leg wrong, for it could be possible, if you slowly watch the scene forward and backward, that he has bent the knee somewhere near 90°

Here's a quick version based on the difference between sonar 1 and 2 and xboyonfirex's painting (nice work btw) of MGP between buildings.

I think in the difference of the sonar images MGP's lunging at the camera (looks like a bit to the left below though).

you guys seem to be missing the fact that in the clip we see of the monster a big ass meaty claw (or set of claws) flies by. Either an arm or a leg, obviously. I'm leaning more towards foot. I see it everytime I see the ads on my HD tv. Big ass claws. I can't be the only one that sees them, right?[/i]

The thing at the back, yeah. Most people are basing it off the first clip we saw, where it looks like there's a knee appearing, but there's just claws which look attached to that, or behind it.
