It floats.

I meant as in a mechanical fortress, you see. The squid thing is really cool, but does it walk or slide?

I was thinking something mechanical, like a Regretslug but instead of being a butterfly it's a weird squid thing.

K. It could be some sort of walking fortress a la Mindustry Units

I'm going to make that pretty soon I think. I'll kind of do the thing I always do and sort of make up the design as I go.

And wtf would Wi-Fi be then? Life Support?

The Router is God

The Living Internet is considered as a galaxy, and websites are planets, not creatures. The router is an external thing, although making the internet connection would be a funny idea.

If you cant leave em to me

What about Website or The Router?

I don't actually know that much about firewalls to make a creature out of them. I'll keep it in mind though

I have a splendid idea: Firewalls

Trolls would just be Users causing trouble. Documents, videos and memes would both just be Files. As stated in the description of the Files: "They vary in shape depending on what type of file they are." So a Document would just be maybe a giant, wingless File, and a meme would just be the same as an image or video file or something, as most memes are just images or videos.

Interesting. Have you wondered how specific files such as documents work? Or what about the Trolls? How do the Videos work? And the Memes?

The different types of Viruses are all the same species, just deciding to do different things. A Spyware Virus is no different than a Malware Virus physically, it's only their behavior that's different. They also do not have a hivemind; they simply transfer the data to one another, although I may change my mind and create one someday.

You forgot to tell that the virus isnt just a new species, but a race of species. Like Malwares (absolute juggernauts of virus and burn anything it touches to an ash in seconds, even antivirus), Trojans (disguised viruses as files, which appear friendly but swarm unsuspecting prey), Spyware (spy on prey and give information to their hive mind), Ransomware (paralyzes prey until having the thing they want) etc.
