There are this race in one of the worlds they visit that kinda look like elephant horses but they have a triangular body so their legs are positioned oddly. They had these big hook claws on two of them and they would stick it into a giant seedpod and use it as a wheel.
I've never thought about their backs before. It may be hard to believe but they weren't the frightening thing about that film. There's a scene where Faruza (Dorothy) gets locked in the tower with Tock and Jack and they make a plan to escape. Jack tells them that Princess Mombi has this "magic powder of life", that makes anything inanimate come to life, and where it's stored. Faruza goes into Mombi's bedroom to retrieve the key and to her horror (mine as well) Mombi is headless. She gets the key without waking Mombi up and goes into this room where she has countless of sleeping heads that she stole from the female citizens of OZ!
The magic powder is all the way at the end of the corridor and it's stored in a cabinet with Mombi's true "head". While Faruza is trying to get the powder she ends up doing something that wakes up Mombi's true head and the other heads which start screaming unison. She tries to run out of there and Mombi's headless body comes and tries to stop her. Of course, she makes it out of there and manages with some difficulty to make to the sofa come alive. I was on the edge of my seat with that.
There's another scene where the Gnome King tries to kill Faruza and her friends and the her chicken lays an egg which rolls down his throat and kills him.
I watch something like that too. Wheels require an axle, which would require the animal growing separate parts from it's body or making use of it's environment in a very ingenious way to sculpt one out of wood or stone. Wheels also need roads, and building roads is too time-consuming and difficult for it to be worthwhile (especially when roads would be as beneficial for other species as the species which builds them).
Ah that's superb! I like Michael and his mysterious ways of popping up into the camera, I wonder how he does it... It might have been scishow, i dunno.
haha well don't come crying to me when some brave heroine dares to slay thyne beast
How do you wish humans had evolved

Pleasant, kind-spirited personalities.
Or wheels. Wheels are better.

This makes me think of adventure time.
I have, but I'd forgotten about them! :O Such wonderful books, thank you for reminding me :D
Oh no! Then, you'd be like one of the dreaded Wheelers!

May I also suggest a fire-breathing penis?

Haha, Michael is brilliant. I'm sure it was Vsauce, now I think about it :)
Oh God... :O I think I may need to go back to the drawing board with that idea. I could give him a protective metallic coat :D
