Etymorph: An object that pretends to be something it's not, but which actually is the thing that it falsely claims to be. Eg:
- Dino nuggets are made from real dinosaur
- Fake plastic plants made of cellulose or PLA - ie, made out of real plants
- Still life paintings using natural pigments derived from plants depicted on the painting
- Lightbulbs in a video game consume real electricity to emit real light
- A video game within a video game that can be played
every so often I'll see a painting in a game, especially ones like the new Hitman series that put a lot of love into their set decoration, and take a moment to appreciate it and remember that a real human being actually painted it just so I could see it
