I personally disagree. I work under the assumption that the world that cave story is set in is a pseudo-earth (search for a huge argument with Roonil on the subject), therefore rabbits may have never existed considering that the monsters are the native animals of that world. So no, not so obvious. But it is obvious that they were based on rabbits when they were designed by Pixel but within the game's world it is questionable.JacobX891 said:...since Mimigas are, quite obviously, descended from rabbits..
Again comparing a Rabbit's life span to a Mimiga's doesn't work. And Mimigas don't exactly breed like Rabbits or there would be alot more of them.JacobX891 said:...and Sue is anywhere from 8 to 12, and rabbits live shorter lives than humans..
What about Toroko?JacobX891 said:..and (I think) the age any mammal can reproduce varies directly with the length of that mammal's average lifespan, wouldn't that mean that there is a slim chance that between the time Sue was transformed into a Mimiga and the time she jumped off of the island, she could have been impregnated by any of the Mimigas she'd encountered? We hardly see Sue on-camera (in fact, she only appears in about 5 scenes) and the number of male Mimigas is almost gargantuan compared to the number of females. (Actually, the reason for this is because the Doctor kidnapped more female Mimigas than male. Why? He likes to f*ck them.) There is only one female Mimiga in any given settlement, excluding Curly's lot. Now, Chaco contributes more than enough, this we can agree on, but besides her there is only 1 other female Mimiga, and that happens to be Chie, who, even for a rabbit, is probably too young to reproduce. Add up all of this and you get one answer: The Mimiga population will eventually drop dramatically, especially after Chaco inevitably dying from the combined power of all sexually transmitted diseases known to M(imiga)an. That is, it would, unless a female Mimiga were to somehow just pop out of nowhere. You see, the Mimigas are not stupid; they most likely knew of their inevitable extinction. When Sue came along, they saw a new hope for their race. Do you really think Sue spent the entire time in that cage doing nothing? I think it's very unlikely King would just let the village die out when instead he had a female Mimiga, right there, locked up in that cage. I don't think that when King looked away in the cutscene right after Grasstown, he was doing it out of dislike. I think he was doing it out of awkwardness.
And Chaco is more than capable.
