+193 Pure imagination does not exist. Try to make up an animal. now describe it. you just described a bunch of animals put together. amirite?

Are we talking animals that could actually function in our world, or pure Dr. Seuss bullshittery? Because if you want your animal to be realistic and survive you're going to have to base it off of existing animals, because THOSE existing animals evolved to survive and this adapted traits and appearances to help them survive. If your made up animal has a shell, okay, sure, maybe that's sort of turtle-like but that shell is a form of protection. Furthermore, of course it doesn't exist. It can't. Your imagination is built up off of your experience and the creative concepts you absorb every day. Pure imagination is just a blank slate.

My animal had square ears, and I can't think of any existing animal I could have taken that from

But squares exist. You didn't make up squares, just put them on an animal

The post specifically states that the created animal is just a mixture of existing animals, and last time i checked, squares weren't animals..

Sometimes I try to think of a color that I have never seen before. It never works.

Thinking of a totally fictional animal is easy. Dr.Seuss did it all the time. It is different when you're talking about something that is already a set limit. For example, you can't imagine a new color because there are only a certain number of colors in the color spectrum there aren't any more to imagine.
