David B. HimselfIt's been a while since I last posted a weird gacha, so... here is one.
Are you interested in a planarian pendant? Because I have exactly what you need!

A planarian's guide to growing a new head
Cut off any part of this worm's body and it will regrow. This is the spectacular yet mysterious regenerative ability of freshwater flatworms known as planarians. The lab of Whitehead Institute Member Peter Reddien investigates the principles underlying this remarkable feat.
stgreenieBattered and worn
We all die a little
every time
we enter sleep
Casualties of life's
daily wars
Many self created
Then come morn
we regenerate miraculously
and are reborn
like #planarian worms
Rise again we must
to walk the Earth
and interact
with our fellow zombies
Being the best mutants
we can possibly be
til erosion demands
we lay back down
and die again

Evolutionary dynamics of whole-body regeneration across planarian flatworms - Nature Ecology & Evolution
A comparative analysis of head-regeneration capacity across planarian species in a phylogenetic context reveals multiple Wnt-dependent transitions in head-regeneration ability and proposes Wnt functions in the reproductive system as possible evolutionary drivers.
Frank AshwoodPresenting the blue garden flatworm (Caenoplana coerulea)!
This Australian flatworm is a predator of a variety of invertebrates. They're vulnerable to drought conditions, taking shelter under objects (like this cow dung) during dry spells.
