>>4795427Tardigrades are extremely closely related to arthropods. They can be considered as sort of the ancestors of them, alongside velvet worms (which are equally as cute as tardis in my opinion). They've been around since the cambrian, and they're so successful that their body plan hasn't changed much for those 500 million years or so.
>>4795658Tardigrades can only survive for a century at most, while other animals like nematodes and rotifers have been revived after dozens of millennia. Tardigrades are also susceptible to diseases, toxins, or anything that can break through their skin.
>>4795427They power the Spore Drive.
They're a major downgrade compared to their cousins
