I call dibs on the dog.

[Heron TSG]

Well this is exciting. Already my tribe has split in two, with most of it building a city beneath a potted plant and the rest on an epic journey to save the lost Malkus. I think that this will make a great myth to tell the Radikalstem children of the future. Speaking of Radikalstem children, I'm not sure how that's going to work, what with them being metalline and all that. Maybe mitosis?

I'll post a picture of what they look like soon.

I call dibs on the dog.

WAR!, The dog stays neutral.

[Askot Bokbondeler]

he who controls the fleas controls the dog

[Taricus]

Until the dog gets a bath

[Aklyon]

"He who controls the dog, controls the world!"

Right?

[Karnewarrior]

"He who controls the dog, controls the world!"

Right?

Right, pretty much. Although you can bring anything down with enough firepower. Mindcontrol is Late Silicon Era tech, so you'll have nukes by then and four or five will be enough to take the dog out. You'll need like ten to take down a human though.

imma gonna jump onto the dog and establish a nomadic fortress on it's back... i need it to feed my mounts

All of these are spoilered for hugeosity.

Spoiler: Radikalstem Commoner (click to show/hide)

Though not as imposing as the chieftain, any Radikalstem is a worthy opponent. Their metallic skin is covered in hard plates of bronze, and bronze horns curl from their foreheads. Spikes line the dorsal side of these creatures. They lack mouths as most know them, instead absorbing their food directly through the plate atop their head. They speak telepathically, as they lack the lungs and mouths normally required for speech.

Spoiler: Chief Barbarossa (click to show/hide)

The chief and his children have a composition different from most Radikalstem. They are formed of an alloy of steel and a hard blue metal that can be seen running in veins along their bodies. This hard blue metal warps the body of the Radikalstem, forming an extra pair of limbs, strengthening the body, and replacing the eyes and spikes with gemstones of a purple hue. They can grow to be half again the already-imposing-for-a-Small size of the average Radikalstem.

Spoiler: Radikalstem Warrior (click to show/hide)

Members of the warrior class are those who grow taller than the average Radikalstem, and once inducted into the order of warriors, they undergo a metamorphosis that slowly adds armor to their bodies throughout their lives. The one pictured here is a young warrior, having just grown his faceplate and pauldrons. More advanced Radikalstem grow gauntlets to enhance their devastating punches. The eldest of warriors are coated head to toe in spiked plating that is nearly impossible to penetrate, but few survive this long. (It takes ~80 years in human terms to get that far.)

the Radikalstem seem like a species the moppa could respect

let me reinstall my spore creature creator and i'll whip a few moppa

[Askot Bokbondeler]

[Heron TSG]

Where do the moppa currently live? I may need to send someone to make friends with your tribe. We can be respect-buddies!

[Askot Bokbondeler]

we're on the living room, but we're nomadic warmongers. a friendship might work, but you may have to prove to be inedible

[Karnewarrior]

So what, we have

Monkeys
Bugs
Brutes
Terminators

and... I forget, exactly.

[Heron TSG]

Oh, there are some small human-shaped creatures.

you may have to prove to be inedible

You can just straight-out win if your race starts being able to digest metal.
