Four appendages, is slimy, and has a house...

Is it the average landlord?

[–] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 13 points 6 days ago (3 children)

I'm more concerned with the partials on the scale. 3 legs, maybe slime, and 0.25 house?

[–] billwashere@lemmy.world 9 points 6 days ago

Great… now I have to go fill them all in….

🤔

Would an armadillo count as 3/4 of a house?

I'm saying that .5 is something like a bagworm. Not born with it, but is ingrained into its DNA.

A one-walled lean-to?

Move turtle to that corner and put tortoise in its spot

Nautilus missing some tentacles.

I wonder if it is just stone

Are soft shelled turtles slimey?

[–] GreenShimada@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

Cattersnail?

No, Snailapillar!

[–] JeSuisUnHombre@lemmy.zip 115 points 1 week ago (9 children)

Would it be wrong to have the turtle in that spot? And replace where turtle is now with tortoise. More importantly there's another missing spot, no slime, no legs, and 1 house. What goes there?

[–] denial@feddit.org 82 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Clam? Maybe if we are generous with the "no slime" definition.

[–] Bronzebeard@lemmy.zip 25 points 1 week ago

Clams have a "foot" that they use to move around with sometimes.

I’m a fan of Fly River Turtles (also affectionately known as Pig Nosed Turtles):

[–] pseudo@jlai.lu 6 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Where is c/turtle when I need it?

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 1 points 6 days ago

Fucking real! I want to see more cute turtle pics and read relevant factoids.

A couple who make real-estate influencer videos?

That graph is also missing a data point at [Slime, Legs, House] = [No, 0, 1].

[–] OhNoMoreLemmy@lemmy.ml 25 points 1 week ago

Yeah, but it can be filled in with "house".

Nautiloids? They have a shell, are slimy, and have tentacles ("feet")

Surinam Frog. 4 legs, slimy, and it incubates its eggs in the skin of the female's back for 4-6 months.

If we consider parasites as inhabitants, there are a lot of slimy house quadrupeds.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nautilus with a lot of legs/limbs removed.

I guessing there might have been a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nautiloid, now extinct that had "only" 4 legs.

[–] Xatolos@reddthat.com 24 points 1 week ago (2 children)

It's Longhorn Cowfish.

The hexagonal plate-like scales of these fish are fused together into a solid, triangular, box-like carapace, from which the fins and tail protrude.

[–] QuantumSparkles@sh.itjust.works 14 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Why does that look like Donald trump

[–] Thteven@lemmy.world 8 points 6 days ago

It's the dead soulless eyes

[–] chonglibloodsport@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

But with four legs so it can crawl out onto land and move from one tide pool to another!

[–] echolalia@lemmy.ml 24 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

a nautilus, as long as you accept tentacles as legs

Although, they have more than 4, so I guess they wouldint be featured at that particular point

[–] zxqwas@lemmy.world 21 points 1 week ago

A well lubeicated turtle
