Kingdom Hearts Pride Lands

[Amalia]

So in Kingdom Hearts when you go to the Pride Lands the characters take on animal forms, for example Sora becomes a Lion Cub. The Lion King has vore potential because we have predator and prey species. What I'd really like to see is Organization XIII members as animals ending up in vorish situations, if some of their forms are prey species.

prey species.

And what, pray tell, is a 'prey species'? Everything predates on something as I recall.

Grass, obviously.

And on the Kingdom Hearts topic, there is a boss (Leechgrave) in 358/2 Days that will vore the player. And since you can play as any Organization member, there's your Organization vore (my contribution as I can't draw and/or dislike ferals).

Okay, now I wanna see the XIII members antromorphed into grass.

Well, I'd say she's talking about about zebras, birds, warthogs, merkats and things the like, since that's usually what you see getting eaten when watching nature shows. Of course, once could always add lions cubs to the menue as they tend to be eaten quite often, too (mainly by hyenas or male lions that take over a pride).

Exactly, and generally in biology species which are generally prey for larger carnivores are called prey species. Although carnivores can become prey for other carnivores, they aren't generally hunted as prey because they can fight back. So like a lion would probably kill and eat a jackal or hyena cub, and vice versa, they wouldn't go out of their way to hunt another predator because they might get hurt, and it's easier to steal other predator's kills than kill another predator. If a predator does kill another predator, it's more about illuminating competition than food. So I lion or a hyena would not be a prey species, where as a impala would.

I also don't know if eating is the as predation. I mean, yeah, herbivores graze on grass but I don't know if plants are considered prey in the general use of the word. Generally you don't refer to herbivores as predators.

However, I'm not really interested in a semantics argument.

I just think Demyx would make a good meercat or a cheetah, although I honestly think Demyx is more prey. Roxas as lion cub could be prey, but that would be more hard vore, where as someone turned into something smaller could be soft vored by someone turned into a hyena or lion.

I second this notion. I completely adore the Organization, and to see them in vorish situations would be absolutely fantastic. Personally, I'd like to see Saix, Xigbar, Vexen, and Marluxia as predators, but that's just 'cause they're my favorites.

Regardless, I'm really glad we have a topic for KH and the Organization. It's such a popular series, why shouldn't it have vore? I mean hell, there are plenty of less-popular things on here that have loads of vore, but so far I haven't seen anything regarding the Org (though I have seen some awesome stuff with Sora and Riku thanks to Jidane).

[Amalia]

My ongoing naga fic has the Organization in it, it's au, so they're all naga, except Roxas who's human and will probably be vored by Axel at some point. But yeah, more Organization XIII vore would be great. I personally love Axel, Demyx, Roxas and Zexion. Demyx and Zexion as prey probably, Roxas could be prey, Axel probably pred.

You guys are missing my point entirely.
I'm not talking about reality. I'm talking about fiction. In a piece of vorish art, thinking in terms of designated predators and prey is ultimately constricting. There's no reason somebody can't draw a picture of a zebra or a merkat eating something. You're only limiting yourself, and the community as a whole by thinking that a lion has be a predator, and a gazelle has to be a prey. That's the glory of fiction.

Also, I'd to thank you both for explaining basic predator/prey relationships to me though. Because I'm some sort of a moron who lacks the slightest clue about how nature works. I am in no way, shape, or form currently in the process of getting a degree in ecology. I also failed several sciences throughout school, and am utterly uninterested in the world around me. So thank you, for meticulously explaining something that anyone who's bright enough to use a computer should be well aware of. Really. Thank you.

On a completely unrelated note.

illuminating competition

Illuminating: Lighting up. Making brighter.
Eliminating: Removing in some fashion.

I have dyslexia, it's a learning disability. It sometimes makes it difficult for me to spell, I spell phonetically, so words that are spelled similarly I sometimes confuse, especially with spell check that might suggest the wrong word. Thanks for pointing that out. I do know the difference, however, sometimes I put the wrong words especially with homophones, homonyms, and words that are spelled similarly.

Also, sorry if we sounded patronizing, but you were the one who had a problem with the word prey species, so we were clarifying what is meant by that.

Also, not everyone likes seeing herbivores as predators. Some people, myself included, like seeing predator and prey in their natural relationships. You can say we're limiting ourselves, but fiction or not, I like things to be believable. I don't like seeing zebras eating lions or things like that, because it's illogical, and although vore does involve suspension of disbelief, I like things to be logical within the terms of the world. We're not "limiting the community as a whole" by having own preferences in these matters.

Also, in the Lion King, there are clear predator and prey species, which is what we're talking about in this thread. In fact your first post wasn't on topic at all, because the topic of this thread isn't your preferences for what species you want as pred or prey and your original post seemed more like trolling to me.
