Results of me trying to rapidly explain Cambrian Wormworld to Twitch so I can justify the need for drawing a fakemon based off something colloquially called a “penis worm” (I am fighting the TOS tooth and nail)

A while back I was joking about making a Burgess Shale themed 16-bit video game, but it is a joke no more!

Stay tuned for...The CAMBRIAN X-PLOSION, a totally tubular surfing game about turbidity currents, the mechanics of fossilization, and the food chain of the Burgess Shale biome.

There has been a lot of big and dinosaur lately, but I thought it would be interesting to once again go to the Cambrian period, 508 million years ago. Ottoia was a worm that scavenged and hunted on mollusc-like animals in the ocean during this time. Seriously, I just thought this was interesting just by its appearance alone. It would be interesting if someone made this into a Pokémon Image source: https://prehistopedia.fandom.com/wiki/Ottoia?file=C5K-1YPUYAAF0qU.jpg
