Mm, good idea, we need something tough, something dangerous and something bloodthirsty, speaking of, we should also give them consciousness (the primfantes), but I couldn't fathom what could be a efficient predator to those things, Mabye a HIVEMINd ant colony? That would be cool, or at least some kind of exo skeletonous tiny creature that communicates through thought.
A avian species would be more effective because they can have a much larger area to hunt due to increase mobility and it won't really interfere with the primfantes since it won't probably take up much living space.

Some ideas for the Predator
1. Have the flight capability of the Albatross
2. Use the new plant seeds as gullet stone used for helping in digestion. When they reach a new area they vomit up the seeds thus spreading these plants faster.

Your plant isn't really going to have any problem spreading over the entire continent. Not only is it the favorite food of basically every single animal species that comes across it, the Primfantes are carrying the fruit with them to start new colonies.

Possible actions:

Suggestion: Modify the leaping mammals to be able to excrete the same 'enthralment' pheromone via their urine. Also give them the ability to produce an anaesthetic when they bite so that their prey is not aware that they are dying. Name?: Mendesult/Mendesultes.

Suggestion: Modify a subset of the amphibians to have a tough scaly 'armour' covering the top half of their body. Give them an excellent scent of smell and sight so that they can more easily locate fruits. Reduce the permeability of their skin so that they're less dependent on water. Name for amphibians?: Agcot/Agcots. Name for modified amphibians?: Cataphrafur/Cataphrafuries.

Suggestion: Make another species of Primfantes that are solitary and produce the same pheromones as kings/queens [depending on gender]. They lay eggs in a colony that when hatched, start devouring their host-siblings. They produce the same pheromones as their host so are raised by them. When they mature, they eat/replace the host queen/king and usurp their positions. This will result in the colony dying out due to incompatibility between both species. This species may also wander around instead of immediately usurping their hosts, going to another nest. This species mates rarely and only occurs when two members meet outside a nest or an individual arrives at a nest occupied by another of the species. Name?: Pretenders/Changelings?


We should probably go meet with the Air Titan as well.

The air Titan will come tell us when the TOE awakes, speaking of, the third idea would work, it sounds good so lets do that. 1+ to number 3

I think this type of species is to invasive. We need a species that will just prevent overpopulation.

Perhaps they´ll just eat workers instead of queens or kings?

We use fungus similar to above link, all we have to do is make it rare enough to control overpopulation then boom problem solved.

Mmm, Mabye, but I think we shouldn't just have a fungus, we should be tackling this head on, we need a creature that would be an opposer, I still think a HIVEMIND of insectiods would be valid, but we should create something that isn't just a fungus or a modified version of the already existing creature.

Note that you can ignore the overpopulation problem and work on other things and it will eventually solve itself in one of a few different ways that don't require your input. There is also nothing wrong with you taking a hands-on approach and trying to fix it yourself, I'm just letting you know that if you have some other idea unrelated to the Primfantes then don't be afraid to suggest it.

Of note also is the fact that two of your siblings also have dens/lairs set up and another of the Titan's next priority is setting up a base of operations for it's work as well. You guys don't want to end up as the last homeless Titan do you?

Or maybe you do?
Hobo Titan? Titan of Hobos?

We could just go the Malkavian route and live inside the heads of our creations...Can we do that?

A different idea we can build species that acts like eyes and ears across the planet while we bury ourselves underground and create underground ecosystem which eventually lead to a empire if left undisturbed by others. For safety precaution we can build a giant forest above us that gathers life energy from the surrounding environment. This life energy can enhance any living being in the forest, this will extend their life span but also increase their size over generations. Once we have these giant animals due to life enhancement from the forest. We could use them ward of any mortal from discovering us.

Hmmm, yes, well, as we should have a base of operations:

create a massive semi spherical emple contracted of intertwining vines and gargantuan tree trunks holding it up, in the middle is a artificial sun, constructed from a small amount of essence from yours truly, makestic waterfalls and peaceful serenity, it's height stands at twice the titans size, and at the middle make it so there is a massive redwood holding up the middle, reaching into the sky.

Umm... I'm not?



Also guys... the description of our character's form is giving me a headache and a freaking half! This is the best I've found so far:





Form Description: A large 4 legged creature, visibly similar to a turtle in appearance, but being mostly composed out of various forms of plant life, with the legs made mainly out of bark and clinging fungus, it's knees are formed from a oddly stretchy and durable cluster of vines, connecting the lower part of the leg to the upper part, the underside of its body, underneath the shell, has a large green crystal, which shines with a bright green light the more life is around it,with the top of its body, it's shell is mainly a massive amount of leaves encompassing a large root system below it, connecting the shell to the body, it's head is a dense cluster of dirt with a massive root system holding it together, it's eyes are two shining gems and the inside of its mouth has a large amount of bio luminescent fungus and bacteria, it can mostly communicate through telepathy, or control of other creatures temporarily.


Pros: It has the glowing green eyes, AND the glow from the crystal in it's chest. It is made entirely out of plants without any fleshy bits. It's head and legs are made out of bark and roots!

Cons: Can only see the front of it's body and can't see it's shell. Part of it's shell seems to be made of rock. We seem a bit small. We seem to be talking to a strange tiny biped with a metal exoskeleton, what the heck is that thing?

Conclusion: To heck with it that's the best you are getting out of me. If you can find a picture better than that to fit with our description then I'm bumping the Aether reward up to 2.
