History YMMV / GreenAntarctica

** One of the large carnivores living in Antarctica is the Antarctic Teratorn, a GiantFlyer vastly larger than any living flying bird. Normally it scavenges off the frozen bodies of large animals, but in summer it has to hunt. It does this by harrying its victims and spraying them with stomach acid until they collapse from exhaustion, at which point it devours them alive. One story follows a European explorer who meets this exact fate; he is ripped open and devoured, his bones broken and his flesh torn off in strips, [[CruelAndUnusualDeath and yet he remains alive for some time after it starts eating]].

* MemeticMutation: Green Antarctica and the Tsalal have become bywords on AlternateHistoryDotCom for evil, depravity, and general {{Dystopia}}-ness.

* CreepyAwesome
* CrowningMomentOfFunny: Whenever Tsalal "[[AdaptationDecay adaptations]]" of Western media is brought up.
-->Right now, I'm watching ''Literature/OliverTwist''. It's at the gripping scene where [[RonTheDeathEater Oliver]], having sold Nell into slavery and murdered Fagin, '''is conspiring with the Artful Dodger to start the great London Fire.'''''
** The [[GodIsEvil Zhu]] interpretation of Literature/AChristmasCarol is equally amusing:
-->Skrog cares nothing for people, and refuses to participate in the rites of guarding. [[GodIsEvil God]] sends a series of visions to terrorize Skrog, but instead of knuckling down, Skrog becomes ever more adamantly opposed to God and God's will. His example is so ferocious that the community rallies around Skrog, and in the end, they sacrifice all the newborns, in a massive blood ritual.

* {{Squick}}: The eating and mating habits of the Tsalal.
** Three words: Hive Monkey Concubines.

-->For the highbrow set, there's adaptations of Low World classics. Right now, I'm watching ''Literature/OliverTwist''.

* UncannyValley: Howard Phillips falls into this if you are a Tsalal who is not used to non-Tsalal people.

* UnfortunateImplications: The black-skinned Tsalal are constantly described as not just evil, but barely human, as well as AlwaysChaoticEvil. This is adapted straight from [[Franchise/CthulhuMythos the Cthulhu Mythos]], but still...
