Check out the link in the description for their 3D reconstruction animations Note on Pikaia: After further reading, i found out that it's named after the Pika Peak in Alberta, Canada. The Pika Peak itself is named after Pika the animal.
Farfa brings that onto himself if we're being honest. Like bro sees a woman in a meme and thinks it's automatically coomerposting . Are we really surprised he doesn't know what a Paleozoic monster is based on? Lmao

In case you were wondering: in modern variants of Paleozoics the best main deck Paleozoic traps are actually Marella and Leanchoilia because they can respectively send and recycle "Transaction Rollback" to your graveyard. Transaction Rollback is a trap that you can banish from your graveyard in order to activate the effect of any other trap card in your graveyard (circumventing it's cost), which is absurdly powerful. Olenoides, Dinomischus and Canadia are also played because for one their effects decent, but their main purpose is being extra bodies you can summon from grave to facilitate getting your XYZ Paleos asap. Eldonia, Halucigenia and Pikaia see no play since their effects are awful.
I always feel bad for Pikaia because it used to be really good but modern Yugioh just didn't give it a chance. It's just a bit too slow, a bit too restrictive, a bit too nonimpactful.
These are the kind of yugioh archetypes that I think are the coolest, ones that are based in some kind of reality that you would be quizzed on for pub trivia or something Like, nowadays if I see a picture of one of these prehistoric creatures, I usually can remember what its name is just based in the equivalent yugioh card lol
Theres actually a pretty obscure series of cards called Sky Fossil which only appear in the most recent yugioh anime that are also based on the same era. Hurdia is one of them, along with Lyrarapax and different interpretations of Anomalocaris and Cambroraster
Pokemon, Digimon, Monster Hunter, Godzilla, AND yugioh? Mans has a lot of the same interests as me yet he's a zoologist making interesting TH-cam vids on the side while I've barely done much with my life. Thanks for giving me the push I need to finish writing my book, pick up a few languages again and maybe, finally properly pick up coding on the side
I don't know who you are but i don't think "I've barely done much with my life" is a fair statement. You've done everything you did in your life. We just walk on a different path, that's all. Everything is an experience and everything has an impact. Somehow, someway Keep living and enjoy your life
Don't let your capital gains define how much you've done with your life. While yes it can impact what you do with your life. If you've been happy and haven't hurt anyone with your happiness then you've done a lot with your life already. You got this rando person.
Like many I sometimes think of custom cards for my favorite decks, which had me going down the Paleozoic rabbit hole for research purposes. I found it really interesting to discover all those species, even though the amount of them made it really hard to decide on a handful of them as most of them are pretty interesting.
Excellent video on paleos, have you considered doing something like this for Ghoti? I think they lean a bit more towards the "fantasy" side but I'm sure there's things you can talk about their real life inspirations.
this video was awesome, really cool learning about the Paleozoics if i were to add a Paleozoic card, it would be a support card, like a continuous trap that helps speed them up a bit, call it "cambrian explosion" or something also i can only hope you plan on doinga Transendrakes video in the future, or an Evol one
I was actually considering evol Then i thought "who would care about evol in this day and age, it's not even popular back then" Then i read this comment and thought "wow someone actually care about evol" Then i look at your username and i was like "oh, that's a rare specimen"
@@OutofPlaceZoologist yeah that sounds about right, still though if you make a dinosaur deck those 2 are definitely being used Shame about Solda always getting ditched though
Please excuse my lack of of proper terminology, but I've always loved fossils since I was little. My dad got be a bunch of plaster prints that still hang on my walls. As such, this video made feel really happy, thank you! ❤
TH-cam recommended me this video and the algorithm wasnt wrong this time. I really enjoyed this video as paleozoic is one of my pet decks and i also enjoy paleontology
Very interesting video! :) Near the end of the video I was wondering if there were more animals that fit the Paleozoic theme, and right after you provided a bunch. Couldn't ask for a better analysis
Thank you so much for making this video! I learned so much and absolutely loved it! I would love to see you or a historian do a video on the Infernoid archtype and go over the monsters, what they are based off and what they think of the designs. As far as I know the Infernoids were based off of mythological creatures.
I've received several comments about pikmin before and i'm honestly quite intrigued since then. The thing is, i literally never played pikmin before and i simply don't like talking about something when i basically knows nothing about them and just look at them on the surface for a video. I'm planning to try playing the game though. Do you have any recommendation on which game to play mr. all-around helper? (don't cut my body into pieces though)
@@OutofPlaceZoologist Pikmin 4 has the most expansive roster of creatures overall, if you just want to play 1 game, and it has most of the ones from previous games.
I'd say either pikmin 1 or 4 are the best ones to start with. 1 still holds up as a great standalone game, but it's the shortest one. I think it delivers being "the first pikmin experience", having fun creatures and puzzles. 4 has more stuff to do in general and is easier, also with a lot of neat quality of life stuff. It's a lot longer but that means it has a lot more creatures.
Broo, loved the video. I wasnt honestly expecting someone to make this exact topic video but ofc I thought several times about wishing such thing to watch. It was very entertaining and also ofc, looking forward on Konami making new support with some other specimens. Great video and thanks😁 (ofc Im a Paleo player lol)
Titanokorys would be a very good choice of a new xyz kinda-boss monster or even a link monster (similar of how arobru and traptrix have their own link-1 monster). Also nice vid, I really like paleos!
Love that Pikaia says Paleozoic card, and not trap. Leaves space open for cool cards. Maybe in the far off future we’ll have new paleo monsters that turn the deck into a boring midrange deck like Traptrix or Altergeist 😅 I’d want the monsters to be like Adamancipator, be references to the scientists who worked on the shale to discover these creatures
I recommend you to check all the not dinosaurs monster in Fossil fighters, they take an interesting shot at how ancient creatures will look taking part of where they where found.
Regarding Anomalocaris, the reason we don't see the mouthparts is simply cause it is looking down with us in its sights, as such we can't see the actual mouth from that angle.
Well, it was about that time I noticed that this girl scout was about 8 stories tall, and a crustacean from the Paleozoic Era! (I also prefer Burgesstoma)
As a bio major I really enjoy more "scientific" type decks.Paleozoics, Keawlers, Predaplants. They are some of my favorite for how they incorporate science into the deck structure.
I love your content the delivery are great, come here from dungeon meshi video. Btw i do amaze that you have quite a knowledge in Yu-Gi-Oh like Booking and stuff are you by any chance a yugioh or was a yugioh Player ? ( For monster hunter and dungeon meshi is to be expected for me, great video 😂 )
I am or at least was a yugioh player indeed I don't actively play for the last 2 years or so but i still follow the news and some content (i even bought 2 box of the Crossover Breakers Deck Build Pack just for collection)
i don't mind this kind of video, this is really nice, love it also if you going to make video like this about game, i recommend arknights, which have good material to talk about animal since their character are based on animal and even they classify the character race based on animal group, there's even someone identifying the species of every character
Fun fact: i actually played arknights since release and i love how they put the animal inspiration on the background of their E2 art (some of them at least)
I can't remember what I first saw you cover, maybe Ark or Monster Hunter, but I definitely didn't expect you to dive into YuGiOh! (no pun intended) I absolutely adore Paleos, in both visual design and card design. They're the reason I researched the Paleozoic time period because of how strange and otherworldly they seemed. Still a fan favorite deck that is entirely unique in it's playstyle, which is hard to come by since the game has been out for 25+ years lol
The reason why Hallucigenia is still upside down in game is because Laundry dropped the fossil while she was on her way to bring it to the researchers.
12:48 the reason why canadia book their opponent, is because it is a reference to the famous catchphrase of the canadian streamer felix "xQc" lengyel during his famous gambling stream "BOOK, BOOK, BOOK"

Note on Pikaia:
After further reading, i found out that it's named after the Pika Peak in Alberta, Canada.
The Pika Peak itself is named after Pika the animal.
You forget to explain about Paleozoic Rollback
He also forgot Paleozoic Waboku and Paleozoic Rise to full Height
Paleozoic burst can’t be left behind
Paleozoic Soldier Dragons are quite good too
He didn't mention my Destructive Paleozoic Karma Cannon
No mention of Paleozoic Laundry Dragonmaid? Smdh

I Hope Josh sees This vid
It was so fun and entertaining watching someone who knows both ends (zoology and yugioh) analyze these cards. Great video!!
Just found this channel and not even 1 min "have you read misc?" bruh im rolling rn, are you actually a yugioh player? W channel
I am indeed a yugioh player, or maybe i should say i "was".
I played real yugioh till branded format. Nowadays i just watch others play basically.
Paleozoic Olenoides S/T removal effect is a callback to another card called Deep Sweeper.
Never thought about that before
Thanks for telling me
These are the kind of yugioh archetypes that I think are the coolest, ones that are based in some kind of reality that you would be quizzed on for pub trivia or something
Like, nowadays if I see a picture of one of these prehistoric creatures, I usually can remember what its name is just based in the equivalent yugioh card lol
Id like to imagine Anamolocaris excavating a card is the equivalent of it going on a hunt, with a successful one letting you add its prey to your hand
great video, but you forgot to mention the most recently discovered fossil of a 25 meter-long Mech
These are some of my favourite cards in Yugioh! Such a fun deck to play and such cool art!
Theres actually a pretty obscure series of cards called Sky Fossil which only appear in the most recent yugioh anime that are also based on the same era. Hurdia is one of them, along with Lyrarapax and different interpretations of Anomalocaris and Cambroraster

I was tellimg a friend about this Archetype yesterday and now it pops up in my recommendations. For once I'm glad my phone's listening in on me, lol.
Funniest part about this is the decks best friend is a big derpy toad
I can't wait for someone to write a university dissertation on the Paleozoic era and reference this archetype

Hey don’t you dare talk about my Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Grandfather Cubed that way.
This is the YGO content I've been craving. Ty.
I asked my grandfather in British Columbia. Leanchoil is apparently pronounced "Leen-Coy-el"
We need paleo support and we also, more desperately need more content like this!
marrella: "i bury gun"
leanchoilia: "oh shit the gun escaped"
Excellent video on paleos, have you considered doing something like this for Ghoti? I think they lean a bit more towards the "fantasy" side but I'm sure there's things you can talk about their real life inspirations.
I have no idea why but the POV leanchoilia about to eat you made me laugh.
here from josh schmidts channel, ty for covering The Boys
I WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT MAKING CUSTOM PALEO LEGACY SUPPORT!!! Thank you I'm gonna be referencing this a lot!
stumbling upon a fascinating zoology channel that also delves into fiction is always a treat! manyala bang
pretty good video, very entertaining, I love how you connect the effects to the animals as well
this video was awesome, really cool learning about the Paleozoics
if i were to add a Paleozoic card, it would be a support card, like a continuous trap that helps speed them up a bit, call it "cambrian explosion" or something
also i can only hope you plan on doinga Transendrakes video in the future, or an Evol one
I was actually considering evol
Then i thought "who would care about evol in this day and age, it's not even popular back then"
Then i read this comment and thought "wow someone actually care about evol"
Then i look at your username and i was like "oh, that's a rare specimen"
@@OutofPlaceZoologist are Evols under loved?
here i thought people liked them due to being good dinosaur support and being very negate focused
@@evodolka Can't say for sure about that but i think majority of yugioh player nowadays don't even know evols other than dolkka and laggia
@@OutofPlaceZoologist yeah that sounds about right, still though if you make a dinosaur deck those 2 are definitely being used
Shame about Solda always getting ditched though
@@OutofPlaceZoologist They did get support relatively recently and they have seen a bit of success so I don't think they're that forgotten.
Now I’m really hoping they make another halluciginia with the correct shape!!!
Its nice that everyone is recognizing how great my favorite archetype is nearly a decade after its release
I really loved the Canadia joke.
I actually liked this. And holy moly, you actually have references with DOIs.
Yea i usually write the whole references like in a scientific publication out of habit
Sometimes i ran out of space so i had to omit some stuff
@@OutofPlaceZoologist well as a quantum chemist, I love it. :)
Miscellaneosaurus looks like something coming out of the fossil wars
Despite not coming from a yugioh channel, this video feels like such a love letter to the yugioh community! Loved this video alot!
Fantastic vid, finally a YugiTube video with some actual brain to it.
Instant sub!
Please excuse my lack of of proper terminology, but I've always loved fossils since I was little. My dad got be a bunch of plaster prints that still hang on my walls.

Yeah and instead of halving ATK and DEF it doubles it as a callback to the original card/way people thought it was
I’ve been waiting for a video like this for years.

Can you do more Yugioh Archtype stuff like this its super interesting i knew alittle about the Palezoic irl stuff but this was so cool
Love that I found this channel
I giggled with the way he said "or animals with jobs"
If paleos got support, what fauna do you think designers should take inspiration from? Eg: Wiwaxia has a pretty distinct look
Video summarized in three words: “Too many spikes.”
