Have you ever wondered what lies beneath the Earth’s surface? Meet endoliths, the remarkable organisms that call the earth’s crust their home. These tiny lifeforms are truly fascinating because they manage to thrive in places where it seems almost impossible for life to exist. Endoliths are found in all sorts of extreme environments, from Antarctica’s dry valleys to scorching hot deserts, and…

Album Review: Endolith – Chicxulub – The Fossil Record (Rob Mules Records)

On January 18th 2019 the Norwegian progressive extreme metal band Endolith release their second full-length album titled Chicxulub – The Fossil Record via Rob Mules Records. It is a concept album based on the extinction of the dinosaurs, and how current events seem to mirror some of this, for example in the decimation of ecosystems and species we see today.

In the wake of the somewhat cold sound…

Corrosive dwarf Bipes or Hive Pebbles

These cave dwelling bipeds subsist off of iron potassium and sulfur found in rocks. This digestion occurs with the help of an internal lithotropic microbial ecosystem mostly featuring endoliths.

With the help of their protective structures these creatures are extremely resilient to high pressures, high temperatures, and high amounts of radiation. Their bodies protect the internal rock digesting bacteria from otherwise unsurvivable subterranean environments.

Each eye has 2 bioluminescent pupils. Eyesight is poor and the light is primarily to warn potential predators to stay away. Each foot has 3 bulbous toes designed for maximum traction on nearly flat surfaces.

A mildly toxic solution that quickly solidifies is a by product of digesting most rock. A long tongue spreads this solution to produce a hollow translucent purple structure on the creature's back. This structure grows until it is larger than the creature itself. the creature then lives inside it similar to a hermit crab.

"An endolith is an organism (archaeum, bacterium, fungus, lichen, algae or amoeba) that lives inside rock, coral, animal shells, or in the pores between mineral grains of a rock. Many are extremophiles, living in places previously thought inhospitable to life. They are of particular interest to astrobiologists, who theorize that endolithic environments on Mars and other planets constitute potential refugia for extraterrestrial microbial communities."

Why do you ask? because harming my self has become my addiction, and I know I'lI need help. Actually I’m healing on certain parts of my body but the ones that are sane I want to cover them in cuts, with the hope those wounds would dissapeat eventually and nobody would notice, cutting for me has became a secret part of myself that unfourtunatelly I’ve became addicted to it. but I’ll get help ASAP. I promise.
