"You are what you eat" can also apply to how creatures are colored and thus how they look. Poison dart frogs get their classic aposematic colors from the insects they eat and the more they eat, the more poisonous they are and the more brightly colored they are. Milkweed may not influence the coloring of monarch butterflies and their caterpillars, but their colors reflect their poison potential very well. Flamingos get their classic pink color from the brine shrimp and algae they eat and if they don't get enough to eat, they lose their color and turn white.
I like the exception of the nehamu being tasty even for a largely or at least partially carnivorous animal. It reminds me of how lost people stray from eating carnivores in America but bear is known to taste really good.
I have eaten black-bear before and I can confirm it is very good, tasting similar to other gamey meats like dear. I did not kill, butcher, or cook the bear but the person who did all three claimed it is difficult to do so due to a high amount of silver skin lining almost every cut of meat.
@@trollunderbridge2292 Personally the black bear I’ve tasted was closer to red meats like beef or venison, and the meat is DARK red at that. I’d not be shocked if some cuts could be made to resemble pork though, I’ve even seen recipes for bacon made from black bear belly meat, if that gives any indication.
Im digging the face cam man! Also, I love these kinds of topics that delve into the more niche things that most people don’t really think about when making their own worlds or those of others. The only other universe I can think of where the cuisine across cultures is rather well developed is the Tolkien universe. This was dope!
Thanks my man! So glad you had fun with it! Was a blast to put together and has given me a ton of inspiration and a base to build their full cuisine culture by culture.
Holy cow! This is an unbelievable video! You know, a lot of people make vast worldbuilding projects, but fans rarely seem to appreciate the small things like what people eat and what they do for a passtime. It's something we take for granted and yet it is so essential.
A surprisingly delightful episode. I love to cook, especially a wide variety of dishes from around the world. The detail and thought here is fantastic (I’d buy a Kaimeran cookbook - just replace the poisons with peppers and various spices lol). Also did I spy a detail of the Dro’Khel being moved from Thescelosauridae/Parksosauridae to Elasmaria?
I really like worldbuildin’ elements like this, gives the word a lotta’ flavour and a big view into the everyday life of people and cultures in it that’s too often ignored. Now I wanna try dino meat. Where can I get the best beastie bites??
I love this ! Food is very important culturally and it give life to your world to describe aspect of this ! I'll try to do that with my own world too ^^
I love the idea of the magic being incorporated into the food crops, and it's nice to see the larger domesticated thescelosaurs. However, I do have one question. I noticed that the titan crow and the banshee gull eggs were noted as tapajarids, was this accidental or have they been retconned to be relatives of thlassodromeus etc? Loved the video and can't wait for the next one :D
Thanks, and good catch! They have been shifted to being cousins of Thalassodromeus for a while now. Will make a bigger deal of it in the pterosaur episode!
I feel like I could watch a multi hour long video on all the animals of Kaimere and their flavors, so I'm gonna ask about some not mentioned here. Nehamu redesign looks nice. 1. How do the sloth species taste and are they popular? 2. Same but for the sauropods. 3. What is next?
1. Sloths are slow-moving bulk feeders, so have a lot of tender meat on them. I'd say overall analogous to bears: herbivores taste good, especially during berry season, but the omnivores are not good. Should have included a sloth segment since there's a lot of variation and they're pretty popular eating, especially by the Pakardiant and Kentarim. 2. Titans are very good while young. They grow extremely quickly so they can take on a lot of toxins as they feed. Their metabolisms can tank it, but it does lead to often unpleasant flavors. After the first year they aren't very good, but by the time they pass a ton they aren't really worth hunting since it could mean taking a couple hunters with them. Wawakoku are an exception: they grow more slowly and are smaller. Conversely, they often get a lot of exercise in which can make their meat very tough. 3. Next up is the prairie termites!
@@TalesofKaimere Those are some LONG answers. Makes me crave more parts to this video like the magic and megaraptorans. Also we are getting some strange videos now. Food, and then termites.
Interesting subject to dive into and some fantastic worldbuilding. Great video! Seriously. Magic makes perfect sense as a term when it glows not only when fresh but after cooking. How mesmerizing to imagine. 😮
The hunts of all the big species you mentioned in this video must all be epic, exciting and thrilling when Kaimeran do these later ! Because let be all agree, hunting a huge, even if a medium specie, Tyrannosaur or a Ceratopsian is quite a awesome view who could easily made a fucking action scene in a movie ! That remind me a little the Egyptian hunts the Pharaohs do time to time, with the Egyptian Kings charging directly into a lions or same in Asia where that was so high ranked people who hunt on a tank shoot by horse into Elephant in some ancient times... The Kaimerans hunts and their hunters must have the same vibes as well !
Gourmands from modern day earth will probably be having a field day if ever they are to be trasported to Kaimere, especially those that have adventurous palates and taste buds haha. You were correct about how humans as a species experiment with what foods go together achieve favorable combinations. I myself will sometimes experiment on different good combinations that traditionally don't seem to work together and finding out that the results are surprisingly good-tasting as the flavors compliment each other nicely.
The fact that the shu are able to eat things that are toxic to other kaimerans makes me wonder if this has caused any division between the Shu and Telemede. Like what if there were shu groups from the Cha’kati empire who made excuses for their conquest of the Telmede along the lines of “ha ha, we can eat more things than you, therefore we are stronger and we are meant to be your rulers!” Or if there were Telmede groups who made up claims like “Those Shu will eat any foul thing they touch, they are disgusting!” On a lighter note, I wonder what the meat of the large dinosaurs is like. Is it white meat like chicken, is it red like beef, or is it like alligator? How much Shu blood do you have to have to be able to eat their food unharmed? Are there non-dinosaurs on kaimere that lay unfertilezed eggs like chickens or are they all fertilized when the mother lays them? Anyways, this video was super cool! food seems so underrated in world building, but this was just awesome
I still can't believe they incorporated theropods and their eggs into their culunary arts! Kaimere is definitely one of the most hardcore places ever... Is the Nehamu all that's left from the Tyrant dynasty?
@@ginam5497 Duh! The Zentaur, Uktan, Kurajaku are terrifying, and Uktan might or might not venture into the Arvelith territory! But it's mostly on Kairul and Nik'har!
I think that's awesome Kaimerans cook using the different wildlife of Kaimere using magic. I can bet the Jurazhent eggs might taste good with quiche or avocado toast with Kaimeran boar bacon. It's making me hungry 😋
@@TalesofKaimere Haha, I think it's really creative. I always did like to cook different meals and I bet if the Kaimeran wildlife were transported to Earth they might make some delicious meals with some gumbo, jambalaya, po boys, or boudin.
I hope one of these days we can get an episode on the Nehamu, is such an interesting creature, although I notice that you reduced the range of the last tyrant to only be endemic in the west, a curious change but nontheless a great relic of the past
@@TalesofKaimere We will say that his previous distribution still canon but a previous past one who dicrease overtime. Afterall, the competitions between animals make time to show the consequences. We can also said that the Uku bear is one of the elements that make the distribution of the Nehamu to regress since the two share a similar niche but the Uku bear is more generalist. The Nehamu must stand up face to this later mainly because he's way larger.
A lot of studying and a lot of personal experimentation. I’ve always tried new foods at every opportunity (texture was inspired by trying emu eggs and flavors by how different duck and goose eggs are from chickens because of a water foliage diet)
Now I want to taste them. Why did you do this? I always expected dinosaurs to taste very badly, but now I will have to rethink the eating habits in my work. I really enjoyed this video, looking forward to similar ones in the future!
So glad to hear it! Yeah I think some dinosaurs tasted good, but especially the big carnivores would be quite disgusting. Especially the endurance predation and lean musculature of the predatory theropods would result in super dry, tough, rancid meat.
Random Question : have you plans to use in the future the Elephant Chuga specie in a way or another ? Because (outside he's quite cute) he's a sapient specie and from what/the few things we know on him, the Chuga have a huge potential for a story or a dedicated video who only ask to be used !
I love this episode! I touches on a topic that is very seldom discussed! Incidentally, what dinosaur/pterosaur eggs do you think would be the most nutritious/edible for humans?
@@TalesofKaimereYour Welcome, I wanna do a worldbuilding project for my channel but I don’t know how really. I mostly do it from scratch and not starting from things that already exist in the real world.
Random Question : just to know. Recently, you said that the others water themed anthologies stories will feature a Kurujaku, a marine sloth and a Kraken. BUT, when you said "feature", it's as main protagonists or as elements/obstacles/antagonists of the story that the true protagonists will encounter and face off ? Because any of these species was establish to be sapient being. For the Moqrin orcas and the Orca's hybrids from the previous video, it's okay because they are sapient cetacean (not as the same level than humans but sapient anyway) but here.... Will you apply/use a different narration where that will be more a documentary description by a narrator like in "Walking With..." Franchise to resolve this quite unconvenient aspect ? Or will you turn them into some kind of demons ? Like specific specimens who see their intelligence becoming upgraded after some kind of event ? I say all this because, for me, that sound weird to read a story where a characters speak and use dialogues if he belong to a specie who is not mean/establish to be sapient/sentient at all and to have a primitive/animal intelligence level. That sound like an sort of inconsistencie who contredict what was said before about the Lore of the universe. No ?
Plenty of orchards, especially in Qajar! Pakardiant have to seclude them in their walled settlements so not much space, and the Free States and Empire both have tiered fields on which they grow orchards for a wide range of fruits
Yep, it's true that any animal or plants, even if at first glance be disgusting in their natural form, can be and become decent foods to eat after a little "transformation".
One of the things I find cool and great about Kaimere workd and the numerous Kaimeran's cultures, is that despite their humans and humanoïds species who live in this world, overall, they never do any kind of truly Big treat or impact toward the ecosystem of the planet. Because outside the Known World, the different Homo Altus and humans settlement are pretty primitive. And Kaimeran have overall a Big respect toward the nature (even if that sightly varied from one ethnic from another). So okay, it's establish since a long time that Kaimerans have made some locals extinction to some species here and here, but at finale there any real entire specie who went extinct completely due to Kaimeran. Because the planet is big enought to be mostly even today unoccupied. And that there too many both herbivorous and carnivorous big (quite rather super) megafauna to allow the kaimeran to hunt them to high to make a treat to their species, and also to let them more spread and expanse their civilisation farer than she is already ! Also, it's stated to that all Homunculies overall are also pretty clean in term of inpact and actions toward Kaimere ecosystem !
Random Question : on Kaimere, outside the Entelodonts and the carnivorous camel Keptoblebas on the Eastern Continent, are there others kind of carnivorous ungulates ? Such the Mesonychid ?
Excluding cetaceans and entelodonts I don't have plans for any predatory ungulates. The katoblepas is occasionally omnivorous but despite a similar appearance to entelodonts they mostly eat tough wetland vegetation.
@@TalesofKaimere Okay, also I just check the Dr Polaris video and the Mesonychid seem to have any representatives who coïncide with a harvest. Shame but okay.
Are there any animals that are taboo to eat in different cultures, like how depending on region/belief commonly eaten livestock like cows or pigs are forbidden from being eaten due to cultural reasons, wether it is reverence or disdain towards the animal that makes it unfit to eat in that culture's perspective?
Absolutely! Could do a whole episode just on that! Pakardiant consider any animal that has man-eaters in their population to be taboo. Touching the dead is taboo and that of course extends to diet. Leopards are sacred to the panther clans so killing them is taboo much less eating them. Some Qajarith consider eating peccary to be taboo but others consider it sacred to eat. Imperials have similar views of horses.
Random Question : are there Marine Iguanas relatives or equivalent on Kaimere ? Because there must be iguanas on Kaimere and the numbers of species must be high too.
This is a great insight into the food of Kaimerans. Basically if the dinosaurs survived into modern day Earth. Also, this question is unrelated to food, but I saw in some of your illustrations that some of the people of Kaimere have what look like pointed ears. Would they be like fantasy elves and the First Children be like fantasy dwarves?
Modern bird are in fact dinosaurs who manage to survive into modern days. Yep, Kaimerans are based on elves since the first concept of Kaimere World itself. However, the First Childrens don't really look like dwarves. And aren't inspired by this iconic fantasy creature specifiquely.
@@TalesofKaimere We will say that is a recent change from the Kaimeran biologsists and the Assembly. Elasmarian dinos aren't Parksosaurs but remain Ornithopod and aren't so differents in term of overall behaviors, diets and appearances.
Nothing to see with the subject, but just in case ... If you want some ideas for additionals (true) demons/mutated creatures because of the viral hives portal, so I can recommand you to watch the movie "Annihilation" (2018). I see this film, and dam ! That was a awesome hit ! Everything was well done ! Especially the mutated animals. They're not numerous and have a small amount of screentime, but man, they was all petfectly used ! There the white alligator who have some shark in him, but he remain mostly unchange with not really interesting to say about. There the two synchonic white deers who have flowers on their antlers. They are cool ! And that could be super to show docile and untreatening demons/mutants creatures like that in Kaimere. But of course, there the Bear ! My god ... the best and the most imaginative and creative animal in this film, even in his concept. And the scene when he is use is truly one of the best and iconic sequence of the movie. With the tension and the fear who increase and up step by step, the look of the creature, his attack and hunt method by mimicking the voice of his preys.... My favorite moment ! This film is truly a golden nugget of inspiration about mutations, and you should give a chance to this later ! And if you want to do one day a "Bear video" thus there only two specie on Kaimere, well, including a demonic form of the Uku bear should be sufficient to equilibrate the overall subject ! (Note : the mutant bear of the film is named in reference to Paddington ! At m'y knowlegde, Alex Garland work on both movies (Paddington have two live-action films), and like Paddington was named after a street, the same happened to the bear, who was named Overton. I mention this fact just in case).
@@TalesofKaimere Okay, just an update, I made a little mistake about the bonus fact at the end. The true name of the bear is Homerton, and it's a guy named Andrew Whitehurst who worked on both Annihilation and the first Paddington movie. This is why we have this strange tribute to Paddington in this horror sci-fi movie !
Random Question : how the Terrors birds are in Kaimere. They thrive well ? How numerous they are, inside and outside the Known World ? Because we already have one specie, so are there others ?
i really need to put in some more thought on the culinary culture of the people of my spec world and well their domesticated fauna that arent just steeds or war animals though ive had a couple ideas like a brachytrachelophan like sauropod basiclaly being a cow that in addition to meat and hide lays eggs, a bit less consistently than with chickens but when they do even just a herd of 4 females can produce a glut of eggs that can feed a village for a couple months easily with just eggs and the occaisional hatchling allowed to grow to just the right suckling pig size.
Random Question : I think there is some species of Noasaurid (a group relative to Ceratosaur and Abelisaurid) on Kaimere ? No ? Because I check recently your Facebook account and it's seem you have made a specie of these critters. Right ?
I'm guessing you mean the one that is going to be a specialist in hunting burrowing animals? If so I think Keenan still hasn't fully decided if it's going to be an abelisaurid or a noasaurid. Designwise it has characteristics reminiscent of both clades, so there will definitely be some level of convergence going on. Either an abelisaurid that evolved elongated snout to shove it into burrows, or a noasaurid that shrunk its forelimbs to enter burrows more easily without them getting in the way.
Even if people, following the culture and ethnic, will not eat some specific animal or others food for a reason or another (ex: religions, beleives, because the same animals are kept as pet) it's important to note that in definitive, Food IS Food ! And even the most exotic specie, nuisible specie or familiar specie can be eat without problem. Afterall, in Europe and America, we eat Ostrish, Emu, Nandu, Kangaroo and even Crocodiles (of course breed and rise in dedicated farms) thus in Asia people eat Dogs, Cats and even rats (I'm an european and I alway dreamed to eat thèse three animals during a vacation in such Asia country, because why not, and I find that is a pretty iconic picture from these culture of this part of the World). Whithout forgeting to mention that most culture on earth eat as well insect or any kind of arthropods in their diet. In countries in developpement or poor, the native people are not too difficult about what they eat. Of course, I guess that Kaimeran do the maximun to do the things right in order to not threat the species they eat (durable hunting) and to prevent potential diseases from what they eat, especially the conditions where they keep the food (for example, to not do what China's Chinese have done why their market who give us the COVID). Because yes, eating is maybe a good thing, but like in everything, there dangers who can appeared !
the Nehamu seems very underestimated, when I was going to do this before Paypal got in the way was to make a relative making a apex predator comeback like the Mosasaurs did with the Motamazor!
The Shu quisine being bland becat they take out their toxic seasonings reminds me of a Tumblr post about Dwarves doing the same because of a similar high constitution.
Next is the cousin of the qoti The… Jot These monkey sized anguranathids are a unique member of their family because they eat fruits 🍉 🍌🍎🍓🍊🍑🍍 reason of this is simple …the SUGAR >:) these pterosaurs eat fruit and when they see a predator they can get faster
Now for the largest of the anguranathids …. The owl wyvern/ziops These ghostly white and light brown are the biodomes answer to the barn owl but the pterosaurs is about the size of a lion and the reason why it’s called the owl wyvern is not only they have a owl like face pattern it’s also because they have a small beak ( but sill have teeth ) Wanna hear more ?
Mostly they live on coastal desert cities, so it's a lot of seafood for them. Occasionally get to supplement with migrating herbivores or wetland flora and fauna.
I think it would be cool if Kaimere had a bunch of cryptobranchid species and a bunch of species of sea snakes that are derived vipers unlinke earth’s derived elapid sea snakes
It always surprises me how spec projects almost always end up with the question of "but how would it taste?". Here I get it, there are human persons present so food is important to consider the sensation of, but in other projects which dont have any humans present, it always seems odd to describe how a species will taste. Also im probably a minority here, but the face cam threw me off. I'm really not one for talking to the camera style videos as eye contact gives me anxiety.
Was a fun sponsorship to get and something that’s been on my mind for a while. Although Kaimerans are generally more careful than humans given their long lifespans, there are some who get pretty reckless and creative. Eventually everyone’s going to try something new! That’s totally valid. I used to do a lot of talking at the camera but realized I haven’t done it since adding the music elements. I know not everyone vibes with it.
after seeing the life expectancy in numbers. They are obviously an elf stand in. Is there a human race immune to magic and therefore fast aging in comparison? Some fast breeding prinitive agressive human/prehuman (with more furr) that resemble goblins/orcs. A nusence that doesn't apear often i the known world. However if a colony trys to establish there, they need to ackt fast. And their lifespan is even shorter than humans, because in their natural habitat, the unknown world, it's life fast, die young!
In some ways the Maku/Klaeg are analogous to the orc archetype. They live shorter lives, reach adulthood quicker, and have a much more efficient metabolism, needing about a third less calories than a human of equal size and health.
@@ryanchen1819 Yep, I just check that. Anyway, that change almost nothing since the differences are not too high. We can said that is a recent change from the biologists and the Assembly organisation. I like when Keenan show and put more minors, secondary and obscures species and orders on screen, but I prefers when he not touch as possible the previous works he made and the things that was establish before and rather create for the occasion new creatures of these specific more less known famillies. Also, I know that the Parksosaur video is one of the oldest of the channel, but I don't really see what was wrong with the targeted species in order to change them of order.
"You are what you eat" can also apply to how creatures are colored and thus how they look. Poison dart frogs get their classic aposematic colors from the insects they eat and the more they eat, the more poisonous they are and the more brightly colored they are. Milkweed may not influence the coloring of monarch butterflies and their caterpillars, but their colors reflect their poison potential very well. Flamingos get their classic pink color from the brine shrimp and algae they eat and if they don't get enough to eat, they lose their color and turn white.
Excellent points!
That's exactly why I want to believe pterodaustro pycnofibers might have been pink too. 😅 So fun to imagine!
Now this is hard-core world building. Recipes that call for nonexistent ingredients should be in every cookbook
Now who said we did not find The Portal and get some good stuff.
Dungeon meshi
How ironic that the most delicious dinosaur is a species of tyrannosaur they really fall hard in this world.
They had a really good run lol but yeah it ain't their reign anymore
Not their flat they like fruit, oh wait it is.

This is so creative oh my goodness! I can imagine that it would be a flex to have eaten a wide variety of dinosaurs.

Where can I get the best beastie bites??
Of course a human like species would look at freaking dinosaurs and go "bro, we gotta kill that thing and find out how it tastes"
The quintessential human experience
Absolutely fantastic video! Easily one of my favourite so far. Also, you are rocking that beard.
Thanks!
I love this ! Food is very important culturally and it give life to your world to describe aspect of this ! I'll try to do that with my own world too ^^
For sure! It's super important. Hoping to do a follow-up on basic elements of the cuisine in each culture now that I've got this under my belt.
@@TalesofKaimere Can't wait !
I Always love to see a notification for a new video of yours. Great as always!

@@TalesofKaimere Haha, I think it's really creative. I always did like to cook different meals and I bet if the Kaimeran wildlife were transported to Earth they might make some delicious meals with some gumbo, jambalaya, po boys, or boudin.
I think it is cool, as I’ve had a similar idea to Kaimere for years, a fantasy world a basis for all my speculative evolution
It’s a very fun type of setting! Can make fantasy monsters feel very grounded and threatening because of the immersive factor
I hope one of these days we can get an episode on the Nehamu, is such an interesting creature, although I notice that you reduced the range of the last tyrant to only be endemic in the west, a curious change but nontheless a great relic of the past
Thank you! Yeah I made them a temperate/subtropical species instead of tropical and had to adjust their range accordingly.
@@TalesofKaimere We will say that his previous distribution still canon but a previous past one who dicrease overtime.
Afterall, the competitions between animals make time to show the consequences.
We can also said that the Uku bear is one of the elements that make the distribution of the Nehamu to regress since the two share a similar niche but the Uku bear is more generalist.
The Nehamu must stand up face to this later mainly because he's way larger.
Awesome
How did you learn about the flavors of eggs?? That’s interesting
A lot of studying and a lot of personal experimentation. I’ve always tried new foods at every opportunity (texture was inspired by trying emu eggs and flavors by how different duck and goose eggs are from chickens because of a water foliage diet)
Now I want to taste them. Why did you do this? I always expected dinosaurs to taste very badly, but now I will have to rethink the eating habits in my work.
I really enjoyed this video, looking forward to similar ones in the future!
So glad to hear it! Yeah I think some dinosaurs tasted good, but especially the big carnivores would be quite disgusting. Especially the endurance predation and lean musculature of the predatory theropods would result in super dry, tough, rancid meat.
Yep, but you know ... Modern bird are at 100% dinosaurs. So you eat dinos everytime you eat a chicken, a duck or a turkey !
Amazing isn't 😜
@@dudotolivier6363 I know that, but a large theropod or sauropod has to taste terrible.
@@manateeoverlord7507 Not a sauropod but then again i have not had one.
Random Question : have you plans to use in the future the Elephant Chuga specie in a way or another ?
Because (outside he's quite cute) he's a sapient specie and from what/the few things we know on him, the Chuga have a huge potential for a story or a dedicated video who only ask to be used !
I love this episode! I touches on a topic that is very seldom discussed!
Incidentally, what dinosaur/pterosaur eggs do you think would be the most nutritious/edible for humans?
Thank you! Definitely the common drake. Their meat is very good and has lots of nutrients especially if they are grown on a healthy diet.
This video is so interesting! I can’t wait for the next one
Thank you!!
@@TalesofKaimereYour Welcome, I wanna do a worldbuilding project for my channel but I don’t know how really. I mostly do it from scratch and not starting from things that already exist in the real world.
@@ccastronomyworldbuilding4392 There the recent video of Keenan who speak about that, to how to build a spec evo project.
@@dudotolivier6363 I know how to but I have just never done it off of real life fauna or flora
Random Question : just to know. Recently, you said that the others water themed anthologies stories will feature a Kurujaku, a marine sloth and a Kraken.
BUT, when you said "feature", it's as main protagonists or as elements/obstacles/antagonists of the story that the true protagonists will encounter and face off ?
Because any of these species was establish to be sapient being.
For the Moqrin orcas and the Orca's hybrids from the previous video, it's okay because they are sapient cetacean (not as the same level than humans but sapient anyway) but here....
Will you apply/use a different narration where that will be more a documentary description by a narrator like in "Walking With..." Franchise to resolve this quite unconvenient aspect ?
Or will you turn them into some kind of demons ? Like specific specimens who see their intelligence becoming upgraded after some kind of event ?
I say all this because, for me, that sound weird to read a story where a characters speak and use dialogues if he belong to a specie who is not mean/establish to be sapient/sentient at all and to have a primitive/animal intelligence level.
That sound like an sort of inconsistencie who contredict what was said before about the Lore of the universe.
No ?
Good episode. Are their orchards in Kaimere or do they have to forage for most of their fruits?
Plenty of orchards, especially in Qajar! Pakardiant have to seclude them in their walled settlements so not much space, and the Free States and Empire both have tiered fields on which they grow orchards for a wide range of fruits
Yep, it's true that any animal or plants, even if at first glance be disgusting in their natural form, can be and become decent foods to eat after a little "transformation".
Awesome
Btw are you gonna do episodes to take a deep dive into plesiosaurs?
Or a birds eyes view on the pterosaurs
I really wand to do both but for the moment I've got to focus on sponsored episodes. Hopefully in the near future!
@@TalesofKaimere ooooo nice
One of the things I find cool and great about Kaimere workd and the numerous Kaimeran's cultures, is that despite their humans and humanoïds species who live in this world, overall, they never do any kind of truly Big treat or impact toward the ecosystem of the planet.
Because outside the Known World, the different Homo Altus and humans settlement are pretty primitive. And Kaimeran have overall a Big respect toward the nature (even if that sightly varied from one ethnic from another).
So okay, it's establish since a long time that Kaimerans have made some locals extinction to some species here and here, but at finale there any real entire specie who went extinct completely due to Kaimeran.
Because the planet is big enought to be mostly even today unoccupied.
And that there too many both herbivorous and carnivorous big (quite rather super) megafauna to allow the kaimeran to hunt them to high to make a treat to their species, and also to let them more spread and expanse their civilisation farer than she is already !
Also, it's stated to that all Homunculies overall are also pretty clean in term of inpact and actions toward Kaimere ecosystem !
I would really love a video on tyrannosaurs, would be a great way to really start talking about the tyrant dynasty!
Absolutely! I'd love to do one on the Nehamu and some of their extinct relatives.
Random Question : on Kaimere, outside the Entelodonts and the carnivorous camel Keptoblebas on the Eastern Continent, are there others kind of carnivorous ungulates ?
Such the Mesonychid ?
Excluding cetaceans and entelodonts I don't have plans for any predatory ungulates. The katoblepas is occasionally omnivorous but despite a similar appearance to entelodonts they mostly eat tough wetland vegetation.
@@TalesofKaimere Okay, also I just check the Dr Polaris video and the Mesonychid seem to have any representatives who coïncide with a harvest. Shame but okay.
Are there any animals that are taboo to eat in different cultures, like how depending on region/belief commonly eaten livestock like cows or pigs are forbidden from being eaten due to cultural reasons, wether it is reverence or disdain towards the animal that makes it unfit to eat in that culture's perspective?
Absolutely! Could do a whole episode just on that! Pakardiant consider any animal that has man-eaters in their population to be taboo. Touching the dead is taboo and that of course extends to diet. Leopards are sacred to the panther clans so killing them is taboo much less eating them. Some Qajarith consider eating peccary to be taboo but others consider it sacred to eat. Imperials have similar views of horses.
This episode was eggcelent🤣
Haha nice
Random Question : are there Marine Iguanas relatives or equivalent on Kaimere ?
Because there must be iguanas on Kaimere and the numbers of species must be high too.
This is a great insight into the food of Kaimerans. Basically if the dinosaurs survived into modern day Earth. Also, this question is unrelated to food, but I saw in some of your illustrations that some of the people of Kaimere have what look like pointed ears. Would they be like fantasy elves and the First Children be like fantasy dwarves?
Modern bird are in fact dinosaurs who manage to survive into modern days.
Yep, Kaimerans are based on elves since the first concept of Kaimere World itself.
However, the First Childrens don't really look like dwarves. And aren't inspired by this iconic fantasy creature specifiquely.
Cool.
Is there a plan for a full video on the Nehamu + tyrannosaurs outside the known world?
Not on the immediate horizon but I'd love to do one!
So the dro'khel and chetul are now elasmarians instead of thescelosaurs? nice to see more obscure dinosaur clades in kaimere
For sure! They would have come through at the same time as a lot of the megaraptorans so it made sense for me to include them!
@@TalesofKaimere We will say that is a recent change from the Kaimeran biologsists and the Assembly.
Elasmarian dinos aren't Parksosaurs but remain Ornithopod and aren't so differents in term of overall behaviors, diets and appearances.
All I'm gonna say is that I just had dinner and this video made me hungry again
haha heck yeah!
I recently finished binging WWD even watch the making of & ballad of big al too
Nothing to see with the subject, but just in case ... If you want some ideas for additionals (true) demons/mutated creatures because of the viral hives portal, so I can recommand you to watch the movie "Annihilation" (2018).
I see this film, and dam ! That was a awesome hit ! Everything was well done !
Especially the mutated animals. They're not numerous and have a small amount of screentime, but man, they was all petfectly used !
There the white alligator who have some shark in him, but he remain mostly unchange with not really interesting to say about.
There the two synchonic white deers who have flowers on their antlers. They are cool ! And that could be super to show docile and untreatening demons/mutants creatures like that in Kaimere.
But of course, there the Bear ! My god ... the best and the most imaginative and creative animal in this film, even in his concept. And the scene when he is use is truly one of the best and iconic sequence of the movie.
With the tension and the fear who increase and up step by step, the look of the creature, his attack and hunt method by mimicking the voice of his preys.... My favorite moment !
This film is truly a golden nugget of inspiration about mutations, and you should give a chance to this later !
And if you want to do one day a "Bear video" thus there only two specie on Kaimere, well, including a demonic form of the Uku bear should be sufficient to equilibrate the overall subject !
(Note : the mutant bear of the film is named in reference to Paddington ! At m'y knowlegde, Alex Garland work on both movies (Paddington have two live-action films), and like Paddington was named after a street, the same happened to the bear, who was named Overton. I mention this fact just in case).
For sure! I haven't seen the whole thing but I've seen clips and it looks really neat! Read the books last year and enjoyed them a lot.
@@TalesofKaimere Okay, just an update, I made a little mistake about the bonus fact at the end.
The true name of the bear is Homerton, and it's a guy named Andrew Whitehurst who worked on both Annihilation and the first Paddington movie.
This is why we have this strange tribute to Paddington in this horror sci-fi movie !
Random Question : how the Terrors birds are in Kaimere. They thrive well ? How numerous they are, inside and outside the Known World ?
Because we already have one specie, so are there others ?
The Nehamu is the only Tyrannosaurid in the Known World. But are there some others species like him in term of behavior and diet OUTSIDE this region ?
There might be another relic or two on the Eastern continent!
I like the white with black spots domestic Parksosaur ! He remind me so highly a generic dometic cattle/cow that make me laugh XD !
i really need to put in some more thought on the culinary culture of the people of my spec world and well their domesticated fauna that arent just steeds or war animals though ive had a couple ideas like a brachytrachelophan like sauropod basiclaly being a cow that in addition to meat and hide lays eggs, a bit less consistently than with chickens but when they do even just a herd of 4 females can produce a glut of eggs that can feed a village for a couple months easily with just eggs and the occaisional hatchling allowed to grow to just the right suckling pig size.
Seems interesting
ok, THAT was unexpected
Random Question : I think there is some species of Noasaurid (a group relative to Ceratosaur and Abelisaurid) on Kaimere ?
No ?
Because I check recently your Facebook account and it's seem you have made a specie of these critters.
Right ?
I'm guessing you mean the one that is going to be a specialist in hunting burrowing animals? If so I think Keenan still hasn't fully decided if it's going to be an abelisaurid or a noasaurid. Designwise it has characteristics reminiscent of both clades, so there will definitely be some level of convergence going on. Either an abelisaurid that evolved elongated snout to shove it into burrows, or a noasaurid that shrunk its forelimbs to enter burrows more easily without them getting in the way.
Even if people, following the culture and ethnic, will not eat some specific animal or others food for a reason or another (ex: religions, beleives, because the same animals are kept as pet) it's important to note that in definitive, Food IS Food !
And even the most exotic specie, nuisible specie or familiar specie can be eat without problem.
Afterall, in Europe and America, we eat Ostrish, Emu, Nandu, Kangaroo and even Crocodiles (of course breed and rise in dedicated farms) thus in Asia people eat Dogs, Cats and even rats (I'm an european and I alway dreamed to eat thèse three animals during a vacation in such Asia country, because why not, and I find that is a pretty iconic picture from these culture of this part of the World).
Whithout forgeting to mention that most culture on earth eat as well insect or any kind of arthropods in their diet.
In countries in developpement or poor, the native people are not too difficult about what they eat.
Of course, I guess that Kaimeran do the maximun to do the things right in order to not threat the species they eat (durable hunting) and to prevent potential diseases from what they eat, especially the conditions where they keep the food (for example, to not do what China's Chinese have done why their market who give us the COVID).
Because yes, eating is maybe a good thing, but like in everything, there dangers who can appeared !
That´s the beauty of being an omnivore
Killer beard, dude
haha been at it for a while!
Titan Stork ?? Im intrest
the Nehamu seems very underestimated, when I was going to do this before Paypal got in the way was to make a relative making a apex predator comeback like the Mosasaurs did with the Motamazor!
“Hmmmmm, dinosaur egg~”
"get cooked."
-humans to everything

Why not !
Next is the cousin of the qoti
The…
Jot
These monkey sized anguranathids are a unique member of their family because they eat fruits 🍉 🍌🍎🍓🍊🍑🍍 reason of this is simple …the SUGAR >:) these pterosaurs eat fruit and when they see a predator they can get faster
Now for the largest of the anguranathids ….
The owl wyvern/ziops
These ghostly white and light brown are the biodomes answer to the barn owl but the pterosaurs is about the size of a lion and the reason why it’s called the owl wyvern is not only they have a owl like face pattern it’s also because they have a small beak ( but sill have teeth )

Not anymore! Still azhdarchoids just in a different group
👍
Are their some culture that eat non organic thing?
Likely in at least some capacity. Salt and other mineral flavors come to mind.
Aww yeah
Are there any other tyrannosaurs left or is it just the Nehamu?
Currently they're the last ones but I may work one or two others into the Eastern continent.
What do the maku eat?
Mostly they live on coastal desert cities, so it's a lot of seafood for them. Occasionally get to supplement with migrating herbivores or wetland flora and fauna.
I think it would be cool if Kaimere had a bunch of cryptobranchid species and a bunch of species of sea snakes that are derived vipers unlinke earth’s derived elapid sea snakes
I do have an episode sponsored on snakes in a couple months that I'm very much looking forward to!
Can you do a episode about marsupials
You may be very excited by the episode airing on August 16th
louie (pikmin) wrote this episode
itv sucks that we are not Kaimerans
Goddam you haven't shave in a long time did you?Also I always love to develop the food of the sapient creatures for some reason.
Indeed it’s been a few months since I last shaved lol. It is very interesting to explore what unconventional foods clever critters like us will try!
It always surprises me how spec projects almost always end up with the question of "but how would it taste?". Here I get it, there are human persons present so food is important to consider the sensation of, but in other projects which dont have any humans present, it always seems odd to describe how a species will taste.
Also im probably a minority here, but the face cam threw me off. I'm really not one for talking to the camera style videos as eye contact gives me anxiety.
Was a fun sponsorship to get and something that’s been on my mind for a while. Although Kaimerans are generally more careful than humans given their long lifespans, there are some who get pretty reckless and creative. Eventually everyone’s going to try something new!
That’s totally valid. I used to do a lot of talking at the camera but realized I haven’t done it since adding the music elements. I know not everyone vibes with it.
Do the people of Kaimere consume dairy?
Some do!
@@TalesofKaimere Do the use any animals for dairy that are not found on Earth?
What do terror birds eat
after seeing the life expectancy in numbers. They are obviously an elf stand in.
Is there a human race immune to magic and therefore fast aging in comparison? Some fast breeding prinitive agressive human/prehuman (with more furr) that resemble goblins/orcs. A nusence that doesn't apear often i the known world. However if a colony trys to establish there, they need to ackt fast.
And their lifespan is even shorter than humans, because in their natural habitat, the unknown world, it's life fast, die young!
In some ways the Maku/Klaeg are analogous to the orc archetype. They live shorter lives, reach adulthood quicker, and have a much more efficient metabolism, needing about a third less calories than a human of equal size and health.
Where were you in The Lord Of The Rings? 😂😂😂
Haha what I would give to be an extra on a production like that!
Love riding horses so I’d like to think I could be a Rohirim but I’d probably be in the dwarf infantry with my beard and build lol
you look a little like obiwan kenobi imo. In a good way : D
Much appreciated!
You look so cool.
Thanks!
So in a way, Kaimerans are like us Americans. They'll eat pretty much anything.
One of the Parksosaur is sub-named Elasmarian. What do that means ?
Perhaps a revision of the cladistics of some of the animals. Elasmarians are a clade of basal bipedal ornithopods distantly related to parksosaurs.
@@ryanchen1819 Yep, I just check that. Anyway, that change almost nothing since the differences are not too high.
We can said that is a recent change from the biologists and the Assembly organisation.
I like when Keenan show and put more minors, secondary and obscures species and orders on screen, but I prefers when he not touch as possible the previous works he made and the things that was establish before and rather create for the occasion new creatures of these specific more less known famillies.
Also, I know that the Parksosaur video is one of the oldest of the channel, but I don't really see what was wrong with the targeted species in order to change them of order.
