My Little Plotpony: Sharing is Fun

[classicdrogn]

WRT Zentreadi and animals, there's at least one scene in Macross F of a Z farmer and his hippo-cow-beast thing. It's the shape of a hippo, but has black and white spots like a cow (which breeding experiments have suggested is a darwinian evolution to have a more striking coat that appeals to keepers, according to a National Geographic article on domesticating foxes from a few months ago) and which he picks up under his arm like a large beach ball at the end of the scene. so ay least by the second generation post-Space War I they're plenty comfortable with the idea of livestock. Likewise, Mylene of Macross 7 (who is, to be fair, only half-Meltran) has her pet hairball Guvava, and the girl in Dynamite 7 has a snake-kitty critter. Basically, I'd say it comes down to whether or not there's any planet-bound Zentraedi to come in contact with animals that are useful or need to be domesticated because they're hostile but vaguely close to cuddly, if only to get raw materials to feed the ancient factories that build their ships and biomass to put in the environmental systems, or if all of that is done by robots and the biological heuristic units of the Inspection Army and Supervision Army only exist within their weapon systems. Really, I think it would have been the latter, but that doesn't mean culture-adopting Zents didn't come up with something crazy like that.

- CD, drew a doodle of the Incredible Hulk holding a puppy (in one fist, with his thumb curled over its head and the hind legs and wagging tail sticking out the bottom) recently that kind of relates to this, but it's far too crap to scan and post
