• Megamind’s planet is mostly water with the dry land largely being the equivalent of mangrove swamps.
• Megamind’s species is mostly arboreal (he is very good at jumping, balancing and clinging). Or was, anyway, they’re probably mostly technological now. Platforms over water?
• Minion’s species lived among the roots and are a bit like mudskippers. They’re amphibious, although they need to be wet, which is why he can survive his helmet breaking as long as someone throws him in a fountain before too long.
• I don’t know if they’re naturally sapient. Megamind does call Minion a creation of science. Not sure whether giving Megamind one was a last minute thing (he needed some sort of companion) or whether his whole species has fish minions.
• I keep thinking of Metro Man’s species as the equivalent of large herbivores. Rhinos or elephants or hippos. It’s always herbivores that have the seriously scary defenses.
• Either way his planet must be home to some serious wildlife, evolution doesn’t tend to provide abilities that aren’t needed.
• Or, given the Superman parody, maybe he just has more power on Earth. In which case his planet could be like anything.
• (I kind of like the idea of superpowered wildlife, though.)

I seriously love all of this and may end up with new headcannons.

Do we ever see Megamind barefoot? Because it seems to me that the feet of an arboreal species must be more like chimpanzee feet, i.e., like hands. Human feet developed for endurance walking. If Megamind’s feet are like human feet, then his ancestors must at some time have lived on dry ground where a lot of walking was called for.
