Would it be wrong to have the turtle in that spot? And replace where turtle is now with tortoise. More importantly there's another missing spot, no slime, no legs, and 1 house. What goes there?

Clam? Maybe if we are generous with the "no slime" definition.

I'd put the slime as "probably". Their shells can get coated in slime, but not always and they don't generate it.

16

Frog should be slime=probably

Turtle should be slime=maybe

And tortoise would be slime=no

Came here to say this exactly. And I'm thinking like maybe some kind of sea creature, maybe coral?

Move snake to no slime, no legs, one house, and replace it with legless lizards. People do keep snakes as pets but I've never heard the same for legless lizards

Edit: Apparently I misread the meaning of house in this graph

House doesn't mean pet. House means is a house. Snail, turtle, oyster, clam, etc are house.

Phylogenetically, they're still tetrapods.

I GOT IT!! it's a softshell turtle!!

they live in freshwater like lakes so they are slimy, have 4 legs, and can retract into their body

Where is c/turtle when I need it?

That graph is also missing a data point at [Slime, Legs, House] = [No, 0, 1].

Maybe some sea animal with a house? I'd imagine you don't need slime under water. But I'm no biologist.

Mushroom? In particular, the ones that look most like Smurf houses?

Hermit crab should work? It feels more 'house' than a regular exoskeleton

19

Oooh, or what about that weird critter that births its young through holes in its back? That's a slimey house with 4 legs!

Edit: Oh wait, no. I looked up 'animal with holes in its back full of babies' and it's the Suriname Toad, so still a frog basically.

Little dude has a sick hat. I wish I looked that cool in a hat.

Surinam Frog. 4 legs, slimy, and it incubates its eggs in the skin of the female's back for 4-6 months.

If we consider parasites as inhabitants, there are a lot of slimy house quadrupeds.

1 house. 4 legs. Yes Slime.

Two married lawyers with a horse costume.

I don't know, some turtles could be quite slimy. At the corner where it says turtle it should probably say tortoise, and at the "what goes here" corner you can put something like a softshell turtle.

17

Yeah turtle goes in that corner and them armadillo or something for 4 legs, house, no slime.

9

Almost.... the grid is wrong, it should be tortoise... 4 legs , house, dry...

Turtle 4 legs house slimy....

Octopus, they typically go into objects and close them tightly like a shell, and no doubt about legs and slime.

They have zero, actually. No arms, either. They’re molluscs like clams and snails and the tentacles are actually a single modified apendage we call their foot. So, by that, they’ve actually got not enough legs and eight “toes”.

10

That's a problem with the choice of axis scale, not the response. Octopus is the correct answer, because it is at or near the extreme of all three axes.

4

Great… now I have to go fill them all in….

🤔

Would an armadillo count as 3/4 of a house?

As a turtle fan it's always cool when you can look at a diagram and suddenly spot a turtle on it! 🐢

It's like looking at the H-R diagram and going "ooo, Discworld would be right about there, possibly"

My hat's off to you, friend

It's rare to find myself out disc-nerded, but here we are

The turtle moves!

I don't wanna meet anything that is slimy and has four legs. That is pretty much how games like half-life start.

11

I was actually opening the comments to ask if headcrabs are slimy enough to fill this niche.

there's a hidden dot which has 1 House No Slime No Legs

It could be sea coral

Someone who went home without cleaning themself off after getting slimed by Nickelodeon

e: guess it would have to be 2 people for there to be 4 legs

Sloths grow algae in their fur. Definitely slimy.

1 House, 2 legs and Yes Slime would be a Doctor.

Edit: For those who don't get it, it's a doctor House reference.

Surely it would be more bewildering in the middle. What's something that only has 0.1 4 legs, and is 0.4 house?

They don't have a house that they can carry around like a snail or something they ca retract into like a tortoise.

2

Ahh, I thought it meant they like houses like snails like house gardens and turtles are pets in houses but that does make more sense ty I guess
