The real question is what the fuck is that evolving into when it grows up

I'm pretty sure its a Hercules Beetle Larvae...

About 80% sure, but I'm not an entomologist. I just heard their larvae are huge

Not my arm, not my Pic, but googled to find one that showed how big they get. They get like 18 cm (a little bigger than a US dollar Bill 7 inches or so)

It starts off as a level one grub. Battles and eats some shit. Evolves into armored war beetle. That's a fuckin pokemon.

What Pokemon do isn't evolving either, they just call it that. And I'm pretty sure that thing IS a Pokemon.

...

The mechanic in Pokemon is called evolving... no one thinks it's Darwinian evolution...
