    The good: Honestly spider was a pretty solid choice, but I’ll go with an eagle for the flight and government immunity

    The bad: A human (no powers)

    The ugly: A wolf (furry)

      Spider would be cool tbh. Tho what if you get their fucked up reproductive process where the female lays dozens or hundreds of eggs at once and also maybe tries to Eat her male partner, depending on species.

      Or like, you lose your teeth and have to eat by injecting caustic fluid inside Whole Organisms to dissolve their tissues and slurp them up with your Newly-Formed palps/pedi-palps.

      You might get venom, which is cool, but most spiders are only venomous to other arthropods because most spiders hunt primarily arthropods (occasionally small amphibians or reptiles for larger species, a couple tarrantulas are known to opportunistically hunt rodents or bird hatchlings, but they don’t have venom to begin with, so whatever). Unless you get a black widow or brown recluse or something. A dose of that vemon from a human sized Black Widow or Brown Recluse chimera (the Type of Thing you are now) would like 99% be enough to kill a person

        Man, that sounds horrible. I’ve only been bit on my arms and neck by them. I would pass on ladybug eardrum bites if offered, thank you.

          For some reason, bugs like my ears. I’ve had several bug-in-ear experiences, and lemme tell you, none have been fun. Lady bug was the most painful, but only the second worst.

          But, as the other commenter pointed out, perhaps there are people who enjoy the experience. It takes all types, and I don’t kink shame. But definitely do your research first and make sure you want to try it before you find yourself in the situation. Don’t wanna end up like the poop eater on reddit.

          Don’t let one negative review scare you off of ladybug eardrum bites. There’s a tendency for only those with the most-negative (and rare!) experiences to post reviews, but there are a lot of us out there who’ve had only great experiences with ladybug eardrum bites.

    A small spider bite, which gives me the ability to punch someone in the mouth through their TV or computer screen…It has always been one of my ideas for an online business

    An axolotl. I love swimming, less so the idea of SCUBA diving. I’d spend so many hours just chilling in the coral reefs on a sunny day. They’re amphibious too so it means I could breathe just fine on land and in the water!

    I want to get bitten by a capybara and get the superpower of being chill 100% of the time.

    A chameleon so I can get the ability to camouflage. Well as long as I don’t move. Also I think I can grab the TV remote controller with my tongue. Or do insane tricks throwing food and catching it with my tongue. And well… maybe other nice things to find out with that tongue. 🔞

    Dog. I could train myself to find stuff (drugs and money, for starters) with my excellent sense of smell.

    Do the superpowers have to correlate to the abilities of the animal that bites me, like Spider-Man?

    Probably a grasshopper, if so. Being able to bound to basically anywhere I need to get would be nice, get some wings to course correct in the air. Or a mantis shrimp because then I really would never have to worry about losing a fight.

    But if it’s any animal/any superpower: mosquito/super speed

    Tardigrade, I’d have extreme resistance to basically all climates and can be dried up and rehydrated back to life effectively allowing me to “travel” through time by waiting in death…so my shows are all finished lol.

    I’d also make a great astronaut
