"My fifteen minutes of fame are- over!" That quote is hilarious. XD Can you guess where it's from? I saw it on a cartoon show.
So after this page, I'll be updating maybe 2-3 times a week until the end of this chapter {in total, it's about 21 pages long.} Then the story returns to Gofero and Piera and the Dragons arc begins.
I also need to change the name of the last chapter to "Ultranimu Act 1" and change the title page there too{as it presently displays "Ultranimal", and while I was using both terms, in the end, Ultranimu rolls of the tongue better. {By the way, Ultranimu was the title if the story was told in another language.}
Both the pistol shrimp and mantis shrimp are capable of this feat, here is some info on them:

Moment of impact {This small animal can pack a punch exceeding 200 pounds}.

There's a better version{somewhere} of the video above that actually shows the energy released from the impact more clearly as well as showing the energy traveling up the arm.

Their weapon is called a dactyl. Both shrimps look like heavily modified lobsters.

Globster himself is a lobster, but he'll be using attacks from both the pistol shrimp and the mantis shrimp, and probably combine both into a single attack.
