    Hey subfuries! Thanks for all your suggestions for charities to donate to and perks for Patreon last video. Really helps me plan for the future. Love you guys. EDIT: In this video, I say they might have "electrocytes" in the organ that holds lightning. However, electrocytes create electric shocks, not store them. I should have said "a form of electrocyte", as there isn't really a biological thing that allows storage of that kind of energy, but electrocytes are close :)

      Metal is not organic how can the Skrill grow metal claws? If dragons can grow metal than why would the Armorwing need to find it instead of evolving to grow some itself?

  • @elipitch5649
    @elipitch5649 7 років тому +116

    Quick question isn't lightning made from plasma, if so the Skrill could have the same biology as a Nigthfury due to Toothless shooting plasma (or I'm just thinking about this to much)

    • @awulfy9052
      @awulfy9052 7 років тому +22

      Eli Pitch your probably correct,night fury eggs require lightning to hatch and lightning is plasma so they could be linked,it could explain why they are so evenly matched but not enough evidence

    • @HelloFutureMe
      @HelloFutureMe  7 років тому +44

      Hey Eli! The night fury and the skrill are very closely biologically related, and lightning IS a type of plasma, so it's likely they share a lot of similarities biologically on that front.

    • @veyarain82
      @veyarain82 6 років тому +3

      As far as I understand it, lightning is so much electricity running through the same path that it turns the air around it to plasma. So, kind of? ^^;

  • @skyydott
    @skyydott 6 років тому +5

    Well if we bring some chemistry, and some physics, into this, the Skrill's biology gets a little weird. As you established, the Skrill draws electricity from lightning and stores it. This means that some of its exposed structure has to be a conducting metal, and if you take a look at the metal reactivity series, it makes sense for the metal to be copper; however it could very well be iron, as there's a case to be made about more reactive metals to make conducting easier. Now for the Skrill to take in lightning like that, it would have to carry an overall positive charge, so as to attract the negative potential difference of the lightning to it. How the Skrill makes its body positive may involve crude forms of electrostatic induction, whereupon it rubs itself against a more reactive, positively-charged object so as to make itself positively charged, as it will have transferred electrons to the object and neutralised it. I'm not going to bother going into how the Skrill knows what to rub against. Now to store the captured charge, it would have to be made of a good insulator, with better insulating capability than the metal's conducting capability; or it has to have some internal battery. This may mean that a very small portion of the Skrill's body is the conducting metal, and that most of it is actually insulation to capture the charge; or that it has excellent conducting capability and some form of battery. Now because of this storage capability, I'm going to take a leap and say that it also has good magnetic capability. From this, I'm going to go ahead and say that the conducting metal is primarily copper, or potentially a copper-gold, or copper-silver/platinum alloy. Typical conductors are things like plastic, glass, pure water, air, diamond (potentially diamond skeleton???), or quartz. Therefore, I'm going to go ahead and say that if its able to store charge via insulation, then its skeleton may be composed of primarily diamond or quartz; however if it relies on battery powers, then maybe it has these electrocyte organs, positioned against the throat and against the wings/skeletal system.

    Something I want to clean up... remember the moment the skrill was about to strike Ruff and Tuff? For a split second, lightning formed around its crown and as it released its electricity, the crown expanded fully...
    All in all, the skrill does use its thorny crown to aid its attacks, but only for the most powerful ones (as seen as Hiccup and Toothless negate the powerful blast with a plasma blast, sending everyone in the area array directions)

    @Hello Future Me can you do a battle video on the skrill and night furry? it sounds intresting with the nightfurry being the "unholy offspring of lightning and death itself" while the skrill is the ultimate lightning based dragon

    • @packrecords2226
      @packrecords2226 7 років тому +8

      And also Hello Future Me which if Toothless can shoot Plasma and lightnigs made of plasma is it possible that the skrill could learn to shoot plasma blasts like toothless?

    Imagine how useful dragons like the skrill could be in a modern world like a skrill could probably accompany a team of astronauts to power a spaceship for a long time so long as they have food for it and space which could make space travel easier with less solar energy coming from the sun deeper on. We would also need spacesuits for the dragons but that could probably be made with some good tailoring, but imagine dragons in space.

      They just grow more, like they replace scales or how Sharks lose and grow teeth throughout their lives. An animal has something it can lose and replaces it. A Nadder growing new spikes is like a porcupine growing quills after sticking some in a predator it is how they evolved

    @lord_wookie1524 Рік тому

    Hello I know this is possibly a really old video but I would like to voice my opinion on why the Skrill doesn't use its back crown spikes maybe it's because it's located so close to the skull that It will be lethal when lightning strikes a human our muscles contract and lock so I'm thinking the reason why he doesn't do it is because if he does it his esophagus will tighten up and suffocate him another reason being the fact that it's attached to his head and possibly part of a skull it could possibly fry his brain killing it on the spot so those are probably the reasons why the squirrel never uses its crown spikes to charge up its electric attacks
