Number 9. The beast is getting taller, and its flap/fin things are larger and extend like a canopy. Both the mid legs and the back false-legs split into separate limbs now. So far the trend has been almost entirely towards increasing complexity, which is getting to be a little ridiculous and unsustainable, from a design perspective! We’re both curious about what directions we can take this to keep it going…
