Post your creature for this week!

[Fozzybar]

Please, don't post any shit! :perv: (i couldn't resist)

[Blue]

HAH. Yea i guess i'll do this one too. Looks like something more comic relief then the last one. :tihi:

[S.C. Watson]

I'll be passing on this one.

[Carnifex]

oi! perfect answer for rejected entries! "eat shit you bastard!" :tihi:

[Form]

this topic stinks.



















...ha........ha?

[Banned_User]

This could get messy

[strych9ine]

Forget it, mine will just end up looking like crap...

[Banned_User]

yet another shitty topic

[strych9ine]

I'm just going to dump this idea I had for the topic and flush it.

[redehlert]

crap.
you've gotta be shittin' me.
a shit eater? who was the brilliant brain case on this one? prometheus should jump in on this one - be like a sister to the anal parasite.

[Fozzybar]

eatpoo?

[RES]

oh dear oh dear
Unfortunately I’m not around for this or maybe it’s lucky

[Carnifex]

geez the puns are so bad they're great.:D

[redehlert]

yup!
fits gonna hit the shan, carnifex.
:wink:

[redehlert]

eatpoo?
i should've known.

[Carnifex]

better not make a mess then,eh?
ouch.

[Teigrob]

How would this subject relate to doing a concept for the real world, whether it be game, film, or television? Based on the wording of this week's C.O.W. I'm going to pass... Well...enjoy it, guys. See you next week. :(

[Carnifex]

well,there IS a dung beetle afterall...

Carnifex already mentioned it, there are shit eaters on our planet...i don't know what the problem is...??? :nohope:

I guess you need a topic like "pink happy creature jumping around and spreading love to the masses"...:perv:

[nightfend]

Hmm...I think if my piece turns out well, I am definitely going to call it something different in my portfolio and on my website. :-p

[redehlert]

"pink happy creature jumping around and spreading (pooh butter) love to the masses"
hahahaaha......just had to inject my edit there.

Okay. So i was thinkin' the same question - how does this 'shit eater' apply to the real world, but then again, i've had to draw some pretty wild shit that makes me question, "How the hell does that happen?" Yes, i'm (not) proud to say i have several illustrations in the nationally acclaimed 'surgery of the colon, rectum, and anus' 2nd edition. Some of those drawings (and photo refs) were not pink or happy, but i did what i was told because it was a paying gig. That said, if a paying client asked you to draw a shit eater, then it's up to you to decide whether it is a payin' gig or not.

Btw, a fellow med illustrator turn comic artist made her transition doing works on penetration with various sex toys. yep....paid gigs. She's an odd bird, so it's right up her alley, but damn she's cool.

peace! d

[redehlert]

Yeah, you could use the Old English form of the word 'shit' which is 'scitte' - no one would ever know.
Okay....I've got to get my shit together and get back to work before my boss shits a brick.
:tihi:

[Oblio]

hmm.. a fly.. a dog... a boss... a monkey... a baby.. a hot baby.. a wild.. WAIT A MINUTE.
Creature you say.. ok

[Banned_User]

Termites eat wood -
sounds just as wierd right?

Crabs eat sand -
sounds wierd too right?

There are certain creatures on our planet that "supposedly" eat something but what they are actually doing is using it to FILTER out the nutrients.

Termites have smaller parasites inside of thier bodies that break the wood down into a nutrient

The crab I'm speaking of eats the sand, filters it for all the nutrients that might be inside of it and spits it back out in a round ball as fresh sand.

All Joking aside, this concept could be very plausible. Think of a fly??? or maggots.. Think about why creatures eat what they eat or behave the way they do.

Good idea.. but, nah... screw euphemisms : P
EDIT: I mean, its not like its something to be so surprised about, as pointed above a lot of animals eat shit and other stuff that would be "wierd" from a human perspective. Shit eater sounds strange? Make it look plausible! : P

I'm sorry for jumping into this, but the final quote you made, Fozzy, sounds very elitist. Teigrob asked a question and you response of stating what Carnifex said is perfectly valid. The final sounds very much like a "You don't belong here anyway."

I'm not trying to stir up trouble, but it bothers me and so I've said my piece.

Thank you for taking the time to do the C.O.W. subjects.

[Lake]

oh CRAP. I mean what? haha.... ok. I have an idea.

[Masa]

Kentucky man, try not to jump to conclusions, that could just have easily been said in jest.

this is a pretty weird topic and I can allready imagine what disgusting concepts might turn up. I'm gonna grab a bucket in case I come across any dirrrty referance pics.

[princeofhappiness]

some sort of bacteria or pig???



maybe not.

[Qitsune]

Politicians?

[leckronium]

What's all the fuss over the topic this week for? If you don't like it don't do it. My first COW was ANAL PARASITES and everyone thought that was cool. We actually had some really good ideas. What gives? :rolleyes:


/call it a poo monster :tihi:

[Xpose]

I don't know! it sounds like a fun topic to me!

[aesir]

Would ben mathis aka "poopinmymouth" count as a creature?

[Fozzybar]

Kentucky
well...you completely misunderstood my statement then...it was a try of teasing Teigrob, to stimulate his ambition of producing the greatest shit eater the world has ever seen... :D

[Carnifex]

her ambition btw.;)

[shadoman]

Politicians?

No, that would be shit spewwers...


Damn I want to participate, but no time.

[redehlert]

i started sketching up ideas last night and damn it all if it wasn't the easiest thing i've ever done compared to any previous COWs....
what's up with that? do i have shit for brains? hahahaaha.
cheers and have fun with the fecal freaks....er....creatures.

I think I'll pass on this one. I'm getting sick just thinking about it. damn imagination. :nohope:

Last night I saw that baby koala's eat their mothers crap as a food source. They eat posionous leaves and the mother breaks it down to an eatable form then craps it out for the baby to eat.

Pretty gross stuff.

makes me think of bubba ho-tep hehehe

I've had no time recently, but I'll see if I can find some time for this.

[axeman61]

You know what? This topic gives me the exact feeling I had towards playing Eternal Champions: Challenge from the Darkside on my Sega CD when I was about 10 or 11. The violence in the game actually made me afraid of the dark, but I couldn't stop playing. The same goes with this topic. I know I'll see some disgusting concepts, but the good look of the art will make it well worth the barf.

[Fozzybar]

45 posts yet and no art....shit! :perv: :dead:

[Illusionaire]

After reloading this topic hundreds of time, i will need to ask (or else i will not sleep this night).
Somebody deleted the posts on this topic? I remenber reading "darwin worse nightmare".
I'm crazy?!

[Fozzybar]

What?

[Mykro]

OK, time to get something in on this, I can't believe no one's posted art yet. This isn't quite done, but I figured I'd get my WIP up just to get something up.

"BB" the cute creature of the year 2860 just turned to be another commercial flop for the earth importers just after the "Boon Bon" discovered the horse shit.
The passion was so strong... he could detect it from 5 miles. The creature was declared outlaw in the region with traditional farms.

So much shit in this thread and not enough art
stop shitting around and get to work:

SHIT EATER:
They lurk in the shadows, ashamed of what they eat and the repulsive odor that emits from thier mouth when they speak. Thier dialect though is rather obtuse and insulting, thier conversations are just as potty mouthed as thier eating habits, with infantile remarks, often not making much sense at all..due to thier mouth full of shit.
There is a brighter side to this creature though: This lies within thier "anus" which through a filtering system processes the shit they feed on and produces spores which develop into four leaf clovers. They are considered the "good luck" creatures..sometimes mistaken for leprechauns.


This subject was so fun, I went more for a humorous story along with a more "illustrators point of view" over the plausible end of design. I think I balanced between the two and am satisified with what came out of it. Took a few hours today :)

size comparison: If you look closely there are flies on the shit..this should give u a good sense of scale for the critter.


Just for you fozzy, i took the topic seriously.. kinda

Form
errr....i didn't get the point your entry...where is the shit or what role does it play in your concept? Which one's the creature actually?

princeofhappiness
hmm...sorry, if i didn't understand again, but this is not a creature isn't it? It's more the imaginative visualization of a junkie, or?

[Form]

:( it eats shit... it may not look like it, but take my word for it! its all one creature... its ok for a creature to have 2 faces, no? It was just a probe-like protrusion used in the anal sexual practises of species on uranus.

Yeesh i just finished thunderdome gimme a break alright ;) im trying to tighten up my rendering and introduce textures - which i did, and it was a fun concept i spent an hour or two on. sorry if you dont think its up to par.

i liked yours mike!

The Olfactori are a race of super rich merchants from Excrementia, a small but mineral rich planet. Their incredible wealth has enabled the Olfactori to automate almost every aspect of their lives, from the running of the giant trading corporations to the daily needs of the individual, each of which may be attended by dozens of servants at a time. This has allowed a very decadent society to evolve, perhaps illustrated most clearly by the fashionable trend of shit eating; the Olfactori have large and extremely sensitive noses which swell when properly stimulated as blood rushes to flood the olfactory membranes, and it has been found that the scent from the droppings of a certain nocturnal Excrementian rodent promotes such a violent reaction that the sudden rush of blood to the nose can cause effects more intense than the most expensive narcotics. The turd is presented as a meal, pierced with a special piece of cutlery known as a poo-prodder, then sniffed sharply and eaten - ingesting the stool prolongs the experience. Usual results are visual disturbances, euphoria, hallucinations and tingly feet followed by multiple orgasm and finally, the munchies.

"Spying along the fogged inlet of Backed-up Bay,
You'll find the diligent race of Constipaes.

Consumer of brown as it perculates and spit,
Constipaes care less that it's feeding on pure shit.

Like gentle caresses eight limbs tip toe above,
Whilst slurps gulps and burps erupt from its mouth with love.

Deep into its belly and belly and belly,
Pinched loaf and sewer pickle turn royal jelly."

For this one I went as serious as I could, I got very good spider reference and did this one as a mix of different existing spiders with a twist (the physical features are mostly from existing spiders save for the spoon abdomen and weird bell botton pedipalps, and barbed chelicerae) I'm reposting the text since it's hard to read on the image. It's a entry in a fake travel voyage from a Lord Natural Philosopher or something. Yep, the poop looks like spaghetti meatball... :dur:

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y201/qitsune/spidersmall.jpg
Thursday, October the 12th 1860.
Our guide showed us a very interesting specimen of spider that lives around here. It seems to appreciate the heat and dry rocky surroundings.

This seems like a rather large cousin of the wolf spiders, our guide assures us that some are as large as my hand, not including the legs! It hunts small reptiles and rodents.
However after mating the female will start gathering rodent poop and wrapping it up in silks, she will make a nice bundle
which she will then lay on her spoon shaped abdomen using her large and flexible pedipalps and rear legs. She will then
be too heavy to hunt and will fast. When the youngs hatch, they will devour the poop in which they rest,
when all the poop is gone, they will attack and eat there weakened mother and then disperse. He went and captured an expecting mother in a glass jar until I could draw it. We then released it far away from camp.

Through untold years of evolution, the Shitapillar learned how to maintain his survival. Wish his toilet shaped head and good natured dog-like personality, he quickly became a loyal, and most convenient household pet. The occasional stray Shitapillar usually has no problems finding food, as it us usually readily available. Many strays make themselves at home in places like gas station restrooms, or McDonald's, where they can blend in with the filth and not be noticed.


* Interesting fact: The Shitapillar has a very unique reproductive characteristic. Approximately once every few years, the shit it eats builds up so much that it begins a miraculous internal cycle known only to these creatures. Nine months later they give birth to a lawyer or a politician.

Woah Helzon, glad to see you back. Awesome entry so far.

[brokk]

Painting with a mouse sucks... or should I say... shit. I want a tablet : (
Anyway, here's this week's crap.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v254/bk7600/cow23.jpg

Methacephalion
Swampland dwellers, these creatures have developed a unique digestive system, they feed on shit. For this they utilize their frontal appendages that resemble tentacles. They have no skeleton whatsoever and are very flexible, but sluggish in movement. These creatures absorb pretty much the same nutrients many plants and fungi do, presenting the dilema of wether these "animals" should be regarded as being more related to the other kingdomes. Once the "food" is consumed, they store it in their abdominal sacs, waiting to be digested. Once that process is complete, the nutrients are separated, and the rest is used to form methane, or natural gas, which they store in their expandable heads. Bloating up their heads with methane like a balloon allows these creatures to actually take off the ground and float around, reaching higher areas or escaping from predators. They can exhale the methane through their mouths to descend again. The fact that they store methane in their heads has given them their propper name Methacephalions, but in a less taxonomic jargon, they are comonly nicknamed as "Shit Heads".

EDIT: had to make some minor edits due to the grammar. :zzz:

VOLANOS
They are displaced from excrement to excrement by flying, normally they are fed on all type of excrement but they have special weakness in solide aparence ones, since with his jaw and with his particular salivation liquids they prepare the food to be digested.I listen that they are not ferocious nor violent but i don't belive it.

I thought it was pretty well implied in Form's entry that that long protruding head was for probbing assholes and eating shit. Is it really necessary that he show said head up said asshole?

Perahps they make human beings a tad different where you come from fozzy (you are a muppet after all... :nohope: ) but it looks more like a character to me, which is grounds for not being accepted. banishment and testical branding if the offending party does it twice.... :O

Pustulant Red Mouth Shiteater. A vile and stupid creature standing about 10 cm tall who eats the stale feces of wild dogs in the grasslands. Though capable of short bursts of flight, like a chicken, the Pustulant Red Mouth Shiteater prefers to stomp across the grass seeking its food. It uses its teeth and claws to tear apart hardened dung and it emits a near constant ferocious gas that is visible to the naked eye.

[AndrewLey]

Only have time for a sketch this week...

Extract taken from the public awareness pamphlet “ShitEaters and You…”

…usually feed on the waste of large herbivores and while gentle by nature, the human expansion into their natural habit has resulted in these creatures having to break into peoples homes to satisfy their hunger. Victims of the ShitEaters are forced to the ground while the creatures tongue penetrates the anus and probes for excrement.”

I wouldn't say it's a character. The description clearly states that these qualities are shared by the entire race. If he had given him a name or said it was this one particular Olfactori that enjoyed eating shit, then that would be a character.

But yeah, as much as I like it, it is a bit too humanoid.



0kelvin

[Banned_User]

It's considered humanoid because it has arms and hands like a person and dresses in clothing, as well as using objects similar to forks and knives to eat its food, wearing rings, using plates and napkins, not to mention thier a race that look like they live in homes. That would also go for what would be considered a character- just clarifying.

The story was funny as hell and very strange, the idea reminded me of that movie where the people die and go to defend thier past lives to figure out whether they had lived a life honrable enough to make it into heaven "Defending Your Life" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0101698/
The supposed "angels" or lawyers were capable of using a much larger percentage of thier brains than the average human, so to them.. they could make things taste better, or thier senses were capable of picking up extra flavor from things that would normally taste like "shit" to a human.

[Form]

due to the elimination of my first piece due to extreme discipline from master fozzy, i have worked up an entry that follows the brief to the letter!!

This poor little creature is a pootapoota. The pootapoota are a very unfortunate species as, clearly, they are born with no arms. This deficit in the limb department has, over time, been extremely detrimental to the race. Always living on the brink of extinction, the humble pootapoota would have to wait nearly one thousand years for evolution to kick in and give them a helpful little push.

It was not, however, a push in the direction the pootapoota had been praying for. Instead of growing an extra set of articulatory appendages, the saddened pootapoota woke up one morning full of curiosity and worry. They had developed small pores over their entire body - sweat glands. As the pootapoota emerged into the sunlight and walked amongst each other, they were soon overcome with a terrible stench.

Soon they realized what evolution had gifted them with - the double edged sword of extremely active sweat glands! Whilst the sex drive of the pootapoota declined almost instantly, they quickly adapted to the changes and were thankful for their new defensive mechanism. The stench was certainly enough to ward off any would-be predators.

As time went on, shit eating became customary to increase the potency of the defensive musk. It soon became tradition and custom among the race, and was held in high regard. It was also very highly frowned upon to EXCRETE ANY DEFENSIVE STENCH IN A SWIFT MATTER as it was seen as a slap to the face of their blessedly endowed gift. Hence the reprimand this poor pootapoota is suffering from his mother :( poor pootapoota!

No worries, Foz.Professional. Mature. Matt Dixon. ...wow, don't you wanna put this sentence up to your homepage? :)


fozzy i pm'd strych9ine and asked him if we both get thru to next round if we can be paired up. cos i REALLY wanna kick the SHIT OUTTA YOU!!!uuuuuuuuuuuhhhh......NOW i am scared....HAHAHAHAHAHA! COME GET SOME, you lil' anal loving Koala...>:= :D



*looks at fozzy*
*looks at andrewleys concept*
*looks back at fozzy*
*narrows eyes*
*raises one eyebrow*WHAT??? It's a clearly concept matching the topic...




It's considered humanoid because it has arms and hands like a person and dresses in clothing, as well as using objects similar to forks and knives to eat its food, wearing rings, using plates and napkins, not to mention thier a race that look like they live in homes. That would also go for what would be considered a character- just clarifying.RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRIGHT! :wink:





Form
Now, do you see it Form? There is a good shit eater in all of us, hehe...the last entry is cool! :wink:

The "Shit Eater Crab" is known in this manner only for its appearance, not for its evolutionary progression. It mutated from a form of oyster that had been trapped in the sewer system of a large system for thousands of years. Without limbs, the oysters would merely sit and wait at the base of these sewers, attaching themselves like limpets and taking whatever came along as food. Namely, poop. Gradually, Limbs began to evolve on these creatures. Being able to move more swiftly through the sewage, these more "advanced" beings quickly replaced the oysters through process of natural selection. Eventually, a small colony of the shit eater crabs found their way out of the sewer system into the sea, where most of the sewage flowed. In a matter of days, they had completely scoured the base of the local ocean of poop and sewage, making the water quite clean and safe, as the shit eater crabs are quite small. The government began a program to create a larger shit eater crab population to control pollution, and now they stand at the forefront of clean environment societies.

Loads of entries got in at the last minute, I didn't think we'd get such high level stuff.

Panda, I don't mean to be a prick, but just in case you didn't know, oysters and crabs aren't in the same families of animals, one's a mollusk and one's a crustacean.

That said, it looks cool.

yeah, that's why I said at the beginning that it wasn't called a crab because of its evolution, but because of it's appearance. Thanks for reading it through tho.

Hi, this is the first COW I am participating, already tried to do one before but couldn't finish the image in time.

Sorry people I got to say this is shittiest COW I have seen, I see crap everywhere, even from the pros!!! :P

Holly Shit... Eater
This creature has about 3m of length and habits the odd Fetidus planet and belongs to one of the most successfull species in the planet. They show good levels of inteligence, a developed language and complex social patterns. The rullers of this societies are the Master Prayers, the only ones allowed to eat the Holly Shit!
The Holly Shit is produced by the only predators of this species, the Rotting Bird, a huge flying creature that can wheight about 30 tons! The Rotting Birds dump compact turds that can wheight around 600 Kg and actually death by turn squash is very common in lots of species of this planet.
The Master Prayers, being in the top of its society are the only that escape being hunted by the Rotting Birds, according to themselves this is due to their "powerfull mystical powers", however some fearless ellements of lower casts state that "The damn bird just doesn't want to eat something that eats its own shit!!!".

OK... final image posted!

Due to the high level of pollution in the United States a group of Environmental Activists commissioned a Bio-Technology firm to develop a new system to restore the balance of nature. Scientists, being what they are, conceived a machine that would consume pollution (such as plastic, cigarette butts, dog feces, etc.) and convert it to oxygen. After months of study the scientists created a species of cybernetic beasts which they dubbed R.A.T.S. (Reconstitution of All Trash and Shit).

To create the beasts New York City sewer rats were captured, genetically enhanced to better withstand the elements, and a portion of spider monkey DNA was spliced into their DNA which enabled their offspring to grow opposable thumbs and a prehensile tail. Once bred, the offspring were cyberneticly altered by replacing their snouts with vacuums; their eyes were replaced with mechanical element level registers; and a hammer jack was installed on the end of their tail to break up larger pieces of trash. A conversion chamber replaced their digestive system, and they added a scent stick receptacle to allow for the emitted oxygen to have any number of scents (fresh cut grass seemed to be the most popular).

Once they were introduced to the environment the members of P.E.T.A. were up in arms, bombed the manufacturing center, and set about on the extermination of the monstrosities.

My first attempt at a COW entry... hope ya'll like it. The ballpoint pen lines first and then a quick toss of color in PS. Lost quite a bit of my linework/hatching in the scan. Oh well.

Schlurpa: Created originally to act as a sort of "Bottom Feeder Fish" for an alien planet the hybrid creature (Combinations of our familiar catterpillar along with some unkown alien species) took it's creator's by surprise when it continued to grow to massive sizes. Some even known to weight up to 3 tons and measure as long as 28 feet in length. The being behind the creation of the Schlurpa's also were surpised that the creatures actually became more and more agressive as they grew larger. Little is know about the race that created these magnificent cleansers of the environment because the Schlurpa's are the only residents on the planet they were created on now. Theories point to the obvious, they met a "gummy" end as they were devoured by the Schlurpa's teethless mouthes. The planet is now a wasteland and the creatures have since multiplied to a vast number and seem to war with one another, eating the fallen as their only means of survival and living off the waste that the distraught world around them provides. The Schlurpa does do some good for the environment as they were originally intended to do. A top his fatty head we find a tube that excretes a gas similar to oxygen that is believed to be the one of the life sources for the extinct alien race. Though the Schlurpa's ususally eat way to much to keep up with the demand of converting it to oxygen, the tube on their heads is constantly working splurting out gaseous sounds as if the creature is passing gas at every movement. A rare species indeed, lets hope no one picks one of these puppies up and brings it home to us!

The Grumbee Turd Sucker.... On the plant Grumbee there was a major shit problem. Everyone was shiting and just wouldn't STOP! Sewage plants could only do so much. Through the power genetic engineering the Grumbee turd sucker was created. It uses it's two suckers to suck the sewage up and once it passes through the digestive system it is turned into mineral rich dirt.

I had some fun on this. Lot's of entries and a wide range of concepts. Now who said this was a shity topic? lol

This wonderfull and very practical animal could become a real hero in the history of toilets. It was discovered in the rainforest of Venezuela 10 years ago. At this time he nourished himself from the excrements of all kinds of apes. He waited mouth open all day long under the trees for their crap, but he allways refused to eat shit from the ground. Maybe he sees that this is dirty and disgusting. This is why he develloped such a big mouth to collect most of shit as possible before it hits the ground. So this Shiteater is in some kind a very clean and well educated animal. When the scientists realised that, they had an idear. They captured some of the Shiteaters and breeded them for many years in their laboratory. They also did some genetic transformations of his mouth, to make it as resemblant as possible to a toiletseat. And now the big day has come to show the world a new way of excrement management! The Shiteater is quiet, peacefull and consomates much less water than our ordinary watercloset. This is good for your purse and good for the environemend. And your excrements will no more pollute rivers and seas! Your Shiteater will use it for his nutrition. So you give your shit a new sense. Your shit will no more just stink. Your shit will make live a beautifull friendly and sensitive creature! Because he is an amphibian, the Shiteater is also well adapted on the humid climate of your bathroom. And when your Shiteater has to shit by himself, you only have to let him out in the garden, (or better in your neighbours garden), where he can bury his small little poops.

komecaka

This poor creature has the bad luck of living near the evil faction's base. They are captured and used for "clean up."
The supply carrying creatures tend to leave a path of doo-doo (otherwise known as shit), everywhere they go.
Here is where the komecaka comes in. The komecaka possesses no taste buds (lucky them), but they cannot stand the sight and smell of feces. The evil faction, although evil, has enough heart to place a clamp on the creature's nose and a cap that covers their vision (they get some flack from the other evil factions, but they're cool with it).

They may be evil, but this faction would rather not have to step on giant turds all day.

Shit Dozer

Scientists just discovered a new creature, not only a new species - no, a whole new genus of an animal...two very remarkable attributes are discovered:

1. Shit Dozers are the first superior creatures which consume excrements

2. Shit Dozers procreate with the help of insects

This is the first creature we know, which procreates by the help of insects in this case ordinary blowflies...just like flowers do...the "Shit Dozer" consumes excrements, which are directly transported to its genital, where the excrements are mixed with sperms and are excreted on the surface of the "Shit Dozers" genital...scientists speak in this connection of a "Genital Eclipse" (hoho - dissed :D )...
Blowflies are attracted by the irresistible odor of the "Shit Dozers" sperms and land on its genital...Just like the bees on flowers, the flies transport the sperms on their legs and body to the next "Shit Dozers" genital which can be fertilised this way...

It should be noted that "Shit Dozers" feed upon fruits, insects, and other small creatures...excrements are consumed only for purposes of producing sperms...an interesting fact is that "Shit Dozers" in captivity didn't produce sperms as long as they didn't consume excrements...so there seems a relation between both mechanisms...

The Spiney Turd Beetle
The Spiney Turd Beetles live in the wooded swamps away from civilization, as their delicate digestive systems would in no way be able to process anything but the purest of poo. Their digestive system is efficient enough, but the problem is that they derive all nutrients that are still remaining in the "pate de merde". Unfortunately, these beetles can only consume the excrement of meat eaters, and the poop is far too processed for much of any nutritional value left.
