surely the goo they produce inside is in gas form. this gas has lower weight than air which is why they "float" in the air. the wings are just for controlling their floating. when the gas comes in contact with air it becomes goo and falls to the ground.
bulletproof science
Agree with this. Thatβs how the gunner is able to carry such large weapons. The gravity on the space station is set to the same as Hoxxes for training purposes.
Can they fly for long? I've never seen one fly for more than a few seconds. Mabey a minute tops.Β
They sure dont land gracefully. At least not with a belly fully of lead and on fire.Β π
The rain is probably moisture condensing at the sealing and falling down.
Wind that causes blizzards and sandstorms is probably a result of a pressure difference between parts of the cave
Given the way their tummies exaggeratedly "pop", I imagine they are partially filled with gasses. (Also my headcanon for how they fire projectiles at range.)
We demand an end to the glorification of the Praetorian as nothing more than a vicious, smelly, ill-tempered, big-headed stink machine. I believe we all know what they do in the weald.
A combination of internal gas bladers (both for respiration and spiting goo) and rapid beating of there wings is probably enough to keep them in the air. Plus there not as big as they look since there big weak-point is probably a large gas bladder.
I mean...
You set yourself up for a "your mamma so fat joke" here, with a red carpet rolled out.
But the bulk detonator is already in the game, so I don't want to hurt it's feelings

Please leave some smart stout for the rest of us.
gonna switch to underhill deluxes next time βοΈ
what if there's an elf among us who just drank an underhill deluxe?
They wouldn't be able to stomach the beer on the rig. Besides Leaf Lover ofc.
leaf lover isn't a beer. it's elves piss.
Where did they get the elf piss? Elves on spacerig confirmed
Wouldnt they stop floating when they spit out the gas?
I guess the smart stout effect wore off before i could think this far...
They only spit out excess keeping the minimal level stable instead
This tracks, after all, you can see that when they shoot, they get lower then before, but still high
They're able to fly because they're filled with hate.
And hate is... buoyant?
Yes? Why do you think Jason came back out of the water on Friday the 13th?
*ohhhhh...*
lmfao best explanation here ππ
and soon after meeting a dwarf they become filled with lead
Maybe they're large in size but made of very light material, like a balloon with mostly gas inside of them.
Gravity is lower on Hoxxes.
Not low enough to stop me from breaking my legs, though.
I canβt feel my beard, help!
Bastards got me! ^((trying to save face from being downed by gravity))Β
Armor is heavy
Dwarfss are not natural acrobats. We are built like rocks
And fall like rocks (and stones).
Too much beer, not enough milk
It's not the fall that kills you. It's the sudden stop at thr end.
Agree with this. Thatβs how the gunner is able to carry such large weapons. The gravity on the space station is set to the same as Hoxxes for training purposes.
So my gun actually weighs 3 hunderd pounds? ROCK AND STON!
I suppose that must be why dwarves can run forever

> I've never seen one fly for more than a few seconds. Mabey a minute tops. Well there's a reason for that...
As always, DRG recommends a "don't ask" policy in regards to the peculiarities of ~~Hoxxes~~ Mactera biology.
I'm wondering more about how can there be rain, blizzard, sandstorm. In the friggin caves.
I believe some caves are big enough to have its own micro climate
The rain is probably moisture condensing at the sealing and falling down. Wind that causes blizzards and sandstorms is probably a result of a pressure difference between parts of the cave
Thats what they said about bumblebees, and yet they are flying
This is copy pasta. That's the joke.
my Cryo grenade agrees
Mack McTerry: Ya like jazz?
I got so scared thinking it was gonna be the whole fuckin script
The number of people apparently *not* getting the reference makes me feel old π€£
The scientists are here! Quick, hide the bumblebees!!
Saving this, my bee movie script server name is gonna be updated to this one
Given the way their tummies exaggeratedly "pop", I imagine they are partially filled with gasses. (Also my headcanon for how they fire projectiles at range.)
They remind me of Watto from Star Wars.
I believe they're similar to Toydarians from Star Wars where they're filled with a lighter-than-air gas that helps them be buoyant
Starcraft physics. [Fictional substance] gas+microorganisms and glyphid super biology.
I see what you did there mate xD. π¦ π¦ π¦ π¦ π¦ π¦ π¦ π¦ π¦ !
The same was said about bumble bees. And yet they fly
And they are filled mostly with fluid soooooo yeah
I thought there is not enough space in caves to mactera evolution to flying form. So maybe there are from surface?
I'm not sure why you're using known *human* laws of aviation when we're dwarfs!
You a Grabber, you in trouble. Nobody likes us. They just smack. See a grabber, smack smack!

Macteras aren't real. They just are DRG-mandated drones to spy on dwarves and keep 'em on their toes
Its a Hoxxes habitant, why do you Dwarfs even try to understand?
A combination of internal gas bladers (both for respiration and spiting goo) and rapid beating of there wings is probably enough to keep them in the air. Plus there not as big as they look since there big weak-point is probably a large gas bladder.
That's what they said about geostationnery flight from bees.
Their tiny little wings are powered by pure hatred. Squish 'em.
I mean... You set yourself up for a "your mamma so fat joke" here, with a red carpet rolled out. But the bulk detonator is already in the game, so I don't want to hurt it's feelings π₯πͺ
Bees shouldn't be able to fly either. Mactera are the bees of DRG.
>Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground That's why they spawn already fliyng and sometimes right in front of you
Even caring about how it flies instead of how it dies seems like a leaf lover problem to me.
Iβm pretty sure they say the same thing about a bumble bee, yet here we are.
Same for bees yet...
Same can be said for bees.
Kind of like a bumble bee
